Consumers may switch to a heat pump but keep original fuel as backup; the effects of partial remaining fossil fuel use on energy/emissions/costs should be accounted for in the Scout measure preparation module, ecm_prep.
Proposed approach:
Create measures with a “backup_fuel_fraction” parameter that points to supplemental data needed to determine the fraction of remaining original fuel use for the measure.
Develop a CSV for each measure in (a) that specifies remaining backup fuel use fraction (as a % of original total fuel use) by fuel and each region and building type the measure applies to.
Loop through all applicable baseline fuel segments for the measure and run the following adjustments to efficient case data (in partition_microsegment function) for each:
Increase in original fuel energy use = original fuel energy use * relevant fraction from (b)
Decrease in switched fuel energy use = switched fuel energy use * (1 - fraction from (b))
Adjusted efficient energy data = original efficient energy + c.i - c.ii
Repeat step (c) with additional multiplication by emissions factors and energy costs to get adjusted measure efficient emissions and energy cost results
