Staff provided information synopses of the rulings via e-blast. Several members contacted Staff for information on how to become a Party to the proceedings. Staff provided links, instructions, and best practice information to the members. Members conveyed that they submitted their motion for party status. 4

15 Common categories of market effect indicators include awareness/knowledge, attitudes/beliefs, availability, incremental cost or price changes, market share/sales, saturation/prevalence of practices, and changes in codes and standards. Some of these, such as awareness/knowledge and availability, are more proximate indicators, with typical program theory postulating that they must increase as a necessary precondition for increases in ultimate market effect indicators, e.g., indicators of changes in the patterns of adoption, such as market share and saturation. Quoted from Market Effects and Market Transformation: Their Role in Energy Efficiency Program Design and Evaluation by Mitch Rosenberg and Lynn Hoefgen. 15

16 Despite there being no membership campaign, WHPA growth is steady and organic. As described by one spokesperson, WHPA has its own gravitational pull. This indicator suggests that a broad cross section of organization types in 26 membership categories are motivated to promulgate efficiency in the HVAC Sector. 16

17 Many member organizations assign/register multiple representatives to the WHPA in order to volunteer in groups requiring specific subject matter expertise. This indicates member organizations value participation, believe they can make a difference, will benefit, and are willing to invest their own resources to do so. 17

24 One reason for increased website traffic is that Committee and Working Group volunteers use the site to store and reference documents. Because more members and searchers visit, the site has become more effective as a tool such as unveiling utility programs, drawing attention to regulatory proceedings, etc. 24
