The California Energy Commission is commencing a project to develop a methodology to quantify the benefits of demand response measures for revisions to the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Standards) in 2008. Southern California Edison and Sempra Utilities are co-funders of the project. The methodology will evaluate the benefits of demand response to California, California electricity customers, and California utilities.
