Cal TF 2017 Subcommittees focused on matters related to the electronic Technical Reference Manual (eTRM) development, including governance, technical policies and requirements and technology-specific subcommittees, described further below.

eTRM: The eTRM is a transparent, well-documented statewide repository of all California deemed measures. It will include savings values, other measure parameters, and all supporting documentation (studies, calculations, modeling approaches, etc.). Expected users of the eTRM include the California utilities, both investor-owned and publicly-owned, regulators, program implementers, and evaluators. The eTRM and its contents, once approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, will replace current systems used to track information about deemed measures, including DEER, Preliminary Ex Ante Review database (PRdb), Ex Ante database (EAdb), READi, utility non-DEER Workpapers, the POU Technical Reference Manual, and a myriad of internal utility systems used to track deemed measure information.

Governance Subcommittee: The Governance Subcommittee reviews policies and procedures related to workpaper (measure) development and governance of the eTRM, including common QA/QC standards, a new measure review process, and governance of the eTRM. 

Technical Policies and Requirements Subcommittee: The Technical Policies and Requirements Subcommittee identifies technical policies and requirements for deemed measure development. The goal of this committee is to identify and memorialize technical policies and requirements in a single document to make it easier for measure developers and others to understand and apply applicable policies and requirements, and to recommend changes when appropriate. 

Technology-Specific Subcommittees: The technology-specific committees reviewed existing measures that were being consolidated into single measures. The subcommittees members reviewed and commented on the technology category as well as measure-specific issues, and recommended how to harmonize differences across similar measures. The Measure Consolidation Process is further described in Cal TF Technical Position Paper #6, Overlapping Measure Consolidation Process (Prior to eTRM Placement). A flow chart of the Measure Consolidation process is available here. In reviewing technology category and measure-specific issues, the subcommittees may recommend changes to existing measures and measure categories for regulator review and approval.
