Statewide Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan (2009-2020)
• Single, statewide plan (EE and DSM)
- Involving public utilities, local governments, business stakeholders together with IOUs
• Broad vision seeking:
– Innovation, integration, collaboration
• Scope
– All electricity and nat. gas energy use
– Special focus: ―Big Bold Energy Efficiency
Strategies‖

Big Bold
Energy Efficiency Strategies
Commercial New Construction
• All new commercial construction in California will be zero net energy by 2030.
Residential / Small Commercial HVAC • Heating, Ventilation, and
Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry will be reshaped
Residential New Construction
• All new residential construction in California will be zero net energy by 2020.
Low-Income
Energy Efficiency
• All eligible 3 homes energyefficient by 2020.

Stakeholder Activities
• 40 workshops Nov-Dec, 2007 • 500 individuals, 1100 participant –days • 48 comments, publicly posted • Wide range of participants:
– Agencies (state, federal, cities, SCAQMD), NGOs, vendors, research groups, individuals, developers, finance institutions, educational institutions
5
Major New Action Areas from Strategic Planning Process
• Zero Net Energy coordination work and pilot projects (starting in ‘09-‘11 period) • Enhanced agency and utility coordination
• Codes & Standards towards ZNE (Title 24, 20) • Tiered, coordinated ‗stretch‘ goals beyond standard code
– common reference points for market, utility, and local government initiatives
• Coordination of CEC research & performance modeling, with CPUC authorized IOU incentives programs
• Commercial benchmarking, building labeling programs
6
Residential and Commercial Building Sector Themes
• Integrating DSM (EE, DR, DG/CSI) offerings & programs— (all sectors)
– coordinated incentive programs, audits
• Expanded whole building approaches
– Incentives for integrated building design – Comprehensive retrofit programs – financing
• Slowing ―plug load‖ growth
– Residential and commercial sectors – Coordination of IOU emerging technologies, manufacture outreach, CEC Codes & standards, PIER research
7
HVAC (homes and commercial)
• Improved installation and maintenance
• Quality installer certification program • Tracking system from unit sale to permitting • Quality branding program
• Research & Design of HVAC systems suited to Western Climate • Focus on training installers, permitting agencies • Expanded compliance programs
8
Industrial
• Coordination with AB32 requirements – Aligning incentives & timeframes • Targeted, bilateral efficiency agreements • Multi-resource program pilots (energy, air, water)
– e.g. Food processing
• Participation in national energy management certification program
• Centralized technical support system
9
Local Governments
• Capacity building to enable ‗leading by example‘ • Integrated approaches (EE, solar, LIEE, water) • Engagement in ‗stretch, beyond-code‖ green building standards • Expedited permitting, enhanced standards compliance • Pilot ‗point of sale‘ (POS) retrofit programs
