Working Group Updates🔗

Energy Market Methods Consortium (EM2) Kickoff

CalTRACK and the OpenEEmeter migrate to new governance structures under the Linux Foundation, launching the Energy Market Methods Consortium (EM2) with three working groups covering avoided energy use, grid integration, and secure data transfer.

Working Group Finalizes Hourly Method

The final CalTRACK 2.0 working group meeting recaps hourly methods updates including 3-month weighted baselines, reviews the four major tasks completed during CalTRACK 2.0, and previews the CalTRACK 3.0 sandbox on GitHub.

Valuation Approaches in the CalTRACK Methods

CalTRACK working group explores how hourly savings can be valued using constant, step, avoided cost, and avoided energy valuation methods, and compares outcomes across home performance, lighting, and load shifting scenarios.

Hourly Methods for Pay for Performance

CalTRACK working group validates the Time-of-Week and Temperature model for residential buildings, finds evidence of overfitting with monthly regression, and recommends a three-month weighted regression approach for hourly methods.
