The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) requests proposals from organizations or individuals interested in conducting impact evaluation of several NYSERDA programs funded by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) economic stimulus funds. The impact assessment shall include the measurement and verification of energy and demand savings; calculating the total amount of renewable energy generation and installed capacity; estimating job creation (including number, type and duration) and resulting economic impacts; and carbon emissions reductions. Other possible metrics include, but are not limited to, any resulting economic impacts beyond job creation, and the adoption of new technologies (e.g., solar energy). Impact evaluation activities will include, but may not be limited to: metering and monitoring to assess achieved energy savings (including development of realization rates); using surveys or other methods to determine attribution of energy savings and other impacts to the program funding; quantifying cost-effectiveness of the programs; conducting a study to assess energy savings resulting from energy code compliance efforts; evaluation reporting; and other ad hoc tasks.
