Protocols for the residential sector quantify savings for measures typically found in residential areas under residential meters. Likewise, protocols for the C&I or Agriculture sectors quantify savings for measures typically found in C&I areas under C&I meters. However, there is some overlap where measure type, usage and the sector do not match. Protocols in the residential and C&I sections describe measure savings based on the application or usage characteristics of the measure rather than how the measure is metered. For example, if a measure is found in a residential environment but is metered under a commercial meter, the residential sector protocol is used. On the other hand, if a measure is found in a commercial or agricultural environment but is metered under a residential meter, the commercial or agricultural sector protocol is used. This is particularly relevant for residential appliances that frequently appear in small commercial spaces (commercial protocol) and residential appliances that are used in residential settings but are under commercial meters (multi-family residences). In addition, air sealing, duct sealing and ceiling/attic and wall insulation protocols and standards for residential measures should be used to estimate savings in two to four units multifamily complexes whereas air sealing and insulation protocols and standards for C&I measures should be applied in multifamily complexes with more than four units. Depending on the scale, an agricultural facility could be metered under a range of meters, but the agricultural measure protocol will supersede the meter type in the same fashion as listed for the other sectors. ENERGY The following sections present measure-specific algorithms. Section 2 addresses residential sector measures and Section 3 addresses commercial and industrial sector measures. Section 4 addresses agricultural measures for residential, commercial, and industrial market sectors.
