3 Name Organization Ice Breaker Your favorite cute baby animal The results replicated and extended the result of Sherman et al. [16] that viewing cute images has a positive effect on behavioral performance in tasks that require carefulness. The effect occurred not only in the motor domain but also in the perceptual domain. Sherman et al. [16]explained the result in terms of the embodied cognition perspective, which holds that the tenderness elicited by cute images is more than just a positive affective feeling state, but it can make people more physically tender in their motor behavior.

8 Database Update Round Robin

9 Round Robin What was particularly interesting or relevant for your organization or the region? Anything you d like to get more details on or would like to collaborate on?

10 2019 Activities and Priorities Discussions

11 Where we left the discussion 3 Priority areas for 2019: Residential HVAC Commercial HVAC Water Heating Brainstormed list of needs and possible activities for 2019 Individual 2019 Product/Program Plans

12 Definitions Technical Potential Assessment: Estimate technical energy savings potential of a product given its potential in-the-field energy savings and the number of locations where it could be installed. Test Method Development: Test methods are used to distinguish the performance of one product from another. A good method is repeatable, reasonably priced, and approximates real world operating conditions. Performance Specification Development: Once a test method is available, the performance of efficient products can be compared to market average (or Federal standard) products. A performance specification and certification can be added making it easy for the market to identify the efficient product. (i.e. Energy Star, etc.) Manufacturer Engagement: Connecting with manufacturers and sharing the value of energy efficiency encourages manufacturers to consider energy efficiency during product development. Manufacturers provide important information on technology limitations and other constraints that may slow or stall product commercialization. Market Monitoring: Tracking market trends and structure helps identify opportunities and barriers for new efficient products and often provides clues when strategic interventions in the market would be most effective. Lab Testing: Used to understand energy efficiency and operation of products in a controlled environment. Enables isolation of innovations to better understand their impact on energy efficiency and product performance. When a standardized test method is used, enables comparison with other products. Field Testing: Used to establish and validate savings in real world situations.
