Utilities expressed the need to utilize existing and new resources to help them strategically focus their rebate program target areas and enrich their Energy Efficiency program initiatives. To address these needs CBEI developed new analytics for DSM programs (energy efficiency and demand response) based on benchmarking data to show the usability of benchmarking data for utilities. This report quantifies how these analytics helped to improve targeting rebate customers.
