Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) estimated the fiscal
year (FY) 2004
energy, environmental, and financial benefits (i.e., metrics) of the technologi
es and practices in the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) former Office of Bui
lding Technology, State and Community Programs (BTS) within the DOE's Office of
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). During the development of the es
timates, EERE went through a large-scale reorganization, resulting in the reallo
cation of the former BTS projects (along with the other former offices) into two
new Program Offices: the Office of Building Technology Programs (BT) and the O
ffice of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs (WIP). The remainder of
this document will refer to these projects as BT/WIP for the sake of simplicity.
This effort is referred to as GPRA Metrics because it stems from the requireme
nts of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, which mandates
the reporting of performance goals and measures. The benefits developed for EE
RE through the GPRA Metrics effort are submitted to EERE's Office of Planning, B
udget Formulation, and Analysis (PBFA) as part of EERE's budget request. The GP
RA estimates are also used in the formulation of EERE's performance measures. T
his report includes sections that detail the approach and methodology used to es
timate future energy, environmental, and financial benefits produced by technolo
gies and practices supported by BT/WIP in the FY 2004. An overview describes th
e GPRA process and the models used to estimate savings. The body of the documen
t describes the models used and the diffusion curve estimates. Appendixes conta
in tables of forecasted benefits for all projects through 2030, along with indiv
idual project characterizations and overall results of the FY 2004 GPRA effort.
