Operative Guidelines
At its June 1, 2011 meeting, the RTF authorized staff to forward the draft “Guidelines for RTF Savings Estimation Methods, Release 6-1-11” to the Council for review of the policy implications of their adoption and use. The Guidelines describe how the RTF will judge whether the quality of the data and analytical methods are sufficient to produce reliable savings estimates. As of June 1, 2011, the Guidelines Release 6-1-11 are the operative guidelines the RTF will use to review its existing library of savings estimates and protocols for estimating savings as well as to review prospective new measures.
