CRC Partners with Symbiotic Engineering to Evaluate Energy Reductions

Energy efficiency programs are evaluated by how much energy the participants save as a result of the program. In the Residential Energy Action Program (REAP), energy data is requested at the time of the energy audit, and then compared to household energy usage after the audit. If one year is cooler or warmer than the next, the data could show an unintended increase or decrease in energy usage. Therefore, it is necessary to weather-normalize the data to take into account heating and cooling degree days. Symbiotic Engineering, a local software development company, will be analyzing energy reductions as a result of REAP.
