4 Planning and End use measurement > Residential Demand forecasting long term end-use based short term drought response > Options analysis end-use based savings and options stock models Institute for Sustainable Futures, UTS 4

5 EUM and IRP > Integrated Resources Planning Framework > Meet supply demand balance into future > Compare both supply and demand options > Rank options with common metric of levelised total resource cost ($/kl) > Decision support framework Institute for Sustainable Futures, UTS 5
