Toolkit for Evaluators


This page supplies evaluators doing evaluations in California with the latest versions of the key documents, rulings, and tools, that define, inform or control their evaluation efforts. For your convenience, the "tools" are divided into two sections, one applying to Energy Efficiency and the other to Demand Response.

Since CALMAC is attempting to keep this page current and useful, we ask that if you come to the page and note that an important document is out of date or is missing, that you let us know. If you have the document you can submit it for inclusion on the page through the CALMAC/Administration page using the bullet titled "Submit a Protocol, Filing or Tool". If you don't have the document, you can email the website administrator and request that it be added by emailing a request to admin@calmac.org.
