CPR Findings
Terasen states that “[t]he strategies outlined in this Application, and the expenditures for which
approval is being sought, are based to a significant degree on the findings of the CPR and the
subsequent work undertaken with Habart.” (Exhibit B‐1, p. E‐3)
In discussing estimation of new dwelling heating loads, the 2006 CPR states that: “[d]iscussions
with provincial government staff indicated that a number of changes to residential buildings are
under consideration that could affect the thermal performance of British Columbia’s new housing
over the study period.” The changes being considered include targets for new construction,
including residential buildings and all commercial buildings (including apartments) and strategies to
achieve improved thermal performance in related residential equipment and products, including
furnaces, fireplaces, and windows. (Exhibit B‐1, Appendix 1, p. 33)
2.1.1 Residential Energy Efficiency
Terasen proposes spending $9.286 million on Residential Energy Efficiency for both TGI and TGVI
over the Program Period (Exhibit B‐1, p. 55, Table 6.2b). The Residential Energy Efficiency program
area includes both new construction and retrofit initiatives.
