New CFS Measure Prioritization

The Commercial Foodservice Measure Prioritization Project has developed a database to help investor-owned utilities prioritize energy-efficiency measure development for electric commercial food service programs. This was achieved through extensive assessments of non-incentivized commercial food service equipment including developing preliminary savings estimates, estimating measure costs and sales volumes, identifying equipment testing needs and fuel-substitution potential, and discussions with market actors to help determine market trends and efficiency efforts. This data was gathered to help maximize the impact of limited measure development funds by identifying which technologies provide the most savings and cost-effective opportunities in the energy-efficiency programs like the California Foodservice Instant Rebates Program.
