4

• Dishwasher (31 kWh/year)– Baseline = 2010 Fed Min Std (355 kWh/yr; 6.5 gal/cycle)*– Upgrade = 2009 Energy STAR Std (324 kWh/yr; 5.8 gal/cycle)**– Included Water/Wastewater Plant Energy Savings

• DHW

– Gross Savings modified by: • Space Heat Interaction - based on foundation-type-specific heating system

efficiency• Space Cool Interaction based - on average estimated cooling efficiency

Energy Savings Assumptions (cont)

*6th Plan assumes baseline is 348 kWh/yr, with a reverse engineered water use of 5.3 gal/cycle.** Standard goes into effect August 11th, 2009. 5

Cost Assumptions
