With the market transformation approach increasing in popularity, utilities and regional and national organizations are looking to identify technologies and practices which are most appropriate for new market transformation initiatives. Pacific Gas and Electric, Boston Edison, Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships, the Northwest Energy Efficiency alliance, and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency have all undertaken efforts to screen and rank different technologies and practices (collectively called measures) for their suitability for new market transformation initiatives. These screening approaches typically involve comparing measures in terms of energy savings, likelihood of success, cost-effectiveness, and other factors. This paper summarizes and compares the different methodologies used in, and results of, each of these screening exercises. This paper also discusses how each of these organizations have applied their screening results and reviews lessons learned from these different screening exercises.
