19 Interpretation Differences in baseline water consumption A < B < C Difference responses to program A > B = C Differential in responses are not significant More profound in logs than levels
20 Distribution of Savings
21 Distribution of Savings
22 Distribution of Savings
23 Treatment Effect Quantile Regression - Levels
24 Treatment Effect Quantile Regression - Logs
25 Interpretation In absolute reductions (levels) the high users are driving the results Proportionally high and low users are more responsive than the middle High users have more potential to reduce Low users are more cost/environmentally conscious
26 Survey Data Not enough data for statistical analysis of the program Treatment effect disappears running exact same regressions for the survey sample Qualitative results of treatment effect: small sample size Prior retrofit decreases response Presence of irrigation increases response Owner occupied home decreases response (odd)
27 Persistence Further Work Initial results are significant for individual monthly treatments Savings occur from the first treatment Outdoor water use Mechanism of water savings Effect of online account Comparison to other pilots
28 Messaging Learn from how subgroups respond to different types of messaging Example Subgroup A: information about behavior Subgroup B: information about retrofits Subgroup C: information about both How do different type of households respond to different messages
29 Questions How can we measure if an individual household saved water? Weather normalization Creating bins, propensity score This is the big one Rolling 12 month average or median Where are the savings coming from?
