The key challenge with quantifying savings from end-use efficiency activities is the identification of an accurate baseline from which to determine the savings.

This webcast provides an introduction to considerations and common practices for defining baselines, the relationship between baselines and savings attribution, and examples of how different jurisdictions are addressing market baseline studies, setting baselines for retrofit measures, and market transformation program baselines.
