8 Database Update

9 Lots of updates Good Job! Two new products (DC Grid Building, VersaControl) 2 new projects, 29 updated projects Minor updates to DB functionality

10 Round Robin What was particularly interesting or relevant for your organization or the region? Anything you d like to get more details on or would like to collaborate on?

11 Lunch

12 Pipeline Metrics and Decision Framework

13 Increasing Savings Potential

14 Increasing Numbers

15 But very little change in readiness levels

16 Why? DB not updated? Working on other projects instead? Improperly-defined readiness levels: don t measure real progress?

17 Good News We now have insight and can monitor ET readiness progress (or lack thereof) Still need a mechanism to prioritize and focus research activities

18 ET Decision Framework

19 Questions we can now ask 1) Are the relative Regional Priorities for each Product correctly identified? Should any ET Product be moved up (or down) in priority? 2) Does the investment level match the regional priority for a given ET Product? Should we spend more (or less) for a particular Product? 3) If additional investment is called for, what readiness levels (Market, Product, Program) should be addressed and what research questions and project objectives should be addressed to increase the readiness level(s)? 4) If less investment is called for, should any existing projects be canceled? 5) If an ET Product is parked (no new investment), when should the ET Product be reconsidered for new investment? 6) Are any ET Products no longer Emerging? Who specifically should take the ET Product over if RETAC is done with it? Are there certain aspects of a Product that could be emerging that should be calved off as a separate product?

20 Let s try it out!

21 Small group exercise Review your assigned Decision Framework products Quickly identify improperly prioritized products (too high or too low) or mismatches in priority/investment levels Choose 3 or 4 high priority products: Should the priority be changed? Next steps? (ie More/less investment? Park it? Graduate out of ET?) Comments on the Decision Framework? Be ready to report out

22 Break?

23 23 Planning for 2019

24 2019 Possible Priorities Heat Pump Water Heaters Thermostats Other from previous exercise What does your organization need? Near term measures? Long term investment in new technologies? A mix? 24

25 Needs Assessment Exercise What does your organization need from emerging technologies and when? 5 Minutes Individuals - Write one item on each card 10 Minutes Teams Share your items and look for clarity and comment elements 10 Minutes Collect and organize 25

26 Changing Priorities Did the needs assessment impact our priorities? 26

27 Next Steps - Exercise Three teams one for each of the top 3 products. 15 Minutes Over the next 18 months: Is the product ready to graduate? If not, what are the barriers to readiness that need to be addressed (program, product, market)? What are 1-3 discrete, tangible actions need to occur for progress? 15 Minutes - Share out and discuss with group. 27

28 2019 Implications: Who/What/When Who is tackling each of these action items? If nobody, who should? What is the timeframe for this activity? 28
