Determining the energy savings resulting from the installation of energy-efficient showerheads has been attempted using a variety of methods. Household-level results from previous methods range from 0 to 2000 kwh of annual savings. The Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville), through the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), has recently developed a showerhead savings estimation method that we believe is better than preceding methods. This improved method takes into account all major variables that impact savings. The result is a user-friendly alogarithm that will benefit any utility attempting to balance its energy resource portfolio. This paper describes this comprehensive new method for determining energy savings from efficient showerheads. Key factors found to have the greatest impact on savings-pre-existing showerhead flow rates, the flow rate of the efficient unit, and the fraction of showerheads replaced in each participant home-are also discussed..
