Questions and Answers for Plan Revision Team; prepared by WHPA Staff Dave Van Holde

What are the key deliverables?

1. Updated / revised HVAC chapters of the 2014 CEESP provided on a schedule to be set by the CPUC
2. Updated / revised HVAC Action Plan by December 31, 2014
   
   What tasks must be carried out (very generally):
3. Assemble a 'core team' of 4-8 persons with responsibility to:

1. Structure tasks necessary to achieve the key deliverables
2. Identify needs, scope requirements, seek approval and assign resources (both WHPA and other) to these tasks as appropriate:

1. WHPA members
2. WHPA staff
3. Other
2. Oversee tasks to completion
   
   ** [A core team is conceived as the architect and manager of this SMART goal. Mark Lowry is identified as appropriate lead for this team, given his position as Chair of the Council of Advisors. Committee representatives will be selected to make up this core team, nominally designated in consultation with existing Committee Chairs. As conceived, there will also be 1 IOU rep, + 1 CPUC rep (Nils Strindberg) on the core team.]
3. Core team task: As a first task, the core team will make a Work Plan for 2014 to produce the key deliverables and deliver this Plan to the EC by 12/31/13. As noted above, this Work Plan is seen as comprised of a '2-phase' project: (1) CEESP update; (2) HVAC Action Plan update.
4. Core team task: Sort / review CEESP elements into '5 buckets,' representing:

 .         The 4 current CEESP HVAC goals (Code Compliance, QI/QM, Whole Building Design, Climate-appropriate HVAC Technologies), and;

1. Anything that is needed and does not fit in those groups (orphans - new or different)
   
   **[It is anticipated that this task will seek to "leverage work done in past Plans and by Committees so far to the maximum practical degree without being constrained by past work". Identification of gaps will help to define needed revisions and additions as opposed to simple updates. It is anticipated that there will be a significant mapping / cataloging exercise to determine what has been done that is applicable to Strategic Plan 2.0 strategies/actions/goals as part of the "4+1 buckets exercise". Note that this mapping / cataloguing exercise (somewhat along the lines of a limited literature review) can be tasked to "informed individuals" in advance of the "buckets" exercise described above.]
5. Core team task: Conduct a 'brainstorming' session to review, sort and prioritize the current elements of the CEESP HVAC chapters, selecting those to carry forward in the update, and to identify and incorporate any new elements identified as needed.
6. Produce update/revision of the HVAC chapters of the 2014 CEESP on schedule defined by CPUC (nominally Q3 of 2013).

 .         The task of update / revision is seen as likely to be assigned to separate Working Groups, largely in subject matter alignment with the current 4 major committees, for both phases. May need other Working Groups as well.

** [Breakout team view was that in order to succeed, this needs to be a revision/update; more than a redline, but NOT a wholesale rewrite.]

8. Produce update/revision to the HVAC Action Plan by December 31, 2014 (using Strategic Plan 2.0 guidance, even if not yet adopted).
9. Regular reports on progress of this SMART Goal #1 to the Executive Committee.
