Energy efficiency based retrofit programs often include individual and whole-package analysis of retrofits for cost-effectiveness. While this approach ensures that individual measures and the whole package are cost effective, it misses analysis of subsets of interrelated measures and may omit individual interrelated measures that add to the efficacy of the package. In this session we take an initial look at the cost-effectiveness of interrelated measure subsets (a.k.a. mini-packs) that may offer enhanced results and measure selection when analyzed together (e.g., DHW and HVAC Electrification).

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:

Define existing building retrofit mini-packages and key elements to consider when building mini-packages
Describe the potential benefits for clients/participants of cost-effectiveness analysis of retrofit mini-packs as a whole rather than individual items
Review and share initial cost-effectiveness analysis results of specific retrofit mini-packs (e.g. electrification)
