Overview

California's electronic Technical Reference Manual (eTRM) serves as the centralized repository for deemed energy efficiency measure specifications. This project focuses on standardizing the calculation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings derived from energy efficiency programs, ensuring consistent and transparent reporting across utilities and program administrators.

Content coming soon — additional details on the eTRM framework, project scope, and collaborators will be added here.
