1.5. Areas for Further Investigation or to be Added in Future Versions This Operational Practice helps to prioritize energy measures based on a qualitative feedback from cable industry subject matter experts (SMEs). It does not contain quantitative analysis of costs and measures. SCTE will further investigate the energy measures included in this Operation Practice, including review of user case studies and quantitative cost analysis. Specifically, future versions of this draft can consider incorporating:
1. Operational Practice Feedback – SCTE can update cost and value metrics used in Section 7 to prioritize measures after it receives feedback and case studies from users in the industry. Feedback and case studies will be compiled into the table seen in Appendix B.
2. Quantitative Analysis of Energy Measures – SCTE and/or a third party can conduct research on the energy measures recommended in Table 8.1 and the tables and figures from Section 7 to determine actual quantitative cost and value of each measure to the cable industry. SCTE EMS- 028 will then be revised to reflect this analysis.
3. Methodologies in Integrated Energy Management –Future iterations of this Operational Practice will include more information on employing a staged and macro-level approach to energy management improvements, including energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy resilience, and energy demand reduction opportunities.
4. Technologies Progression – SCTE can update this Operational practice based on technological advances are made related to facility energy efficiency in the cable industry. As new applicable technologies arise, SCTE can add them to the list of energy measures and assigned a relative cost and value. Furthermore, since these new technologies may replace or make existing energy measures less attractive, SCTE can evaluate the applicability and cost/value of the existing measures and remove or modify them as appropriate.

CHP is the use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time. Trigeneration or CCHP refers to the simultaneous generation of electricity and useful heating and cooling from the combustion of a fuel or a solar heat collector. Cogeneration is a thermodynamically efficient use of fuel. In separate production of electricity, some energy must be discarded as waste heat, but in cogeneration this thermal energy is put to use. All thermal power plants emit heat during electricity generation, which can be released into the natural environment through cooling towers, flue gas, or by other means. In contrast, CHP captures some or all of the by-product for heating, either very close to the plant.ANSI SCTE 228-2016 pdf download
