Developing an Energy & Water Efficiency Program for LAs Existing … · 2015-07-28 · Directive to reduce per capita potable water use by 20% by 2017 and reduce DWP’s purchase

Final WorkshopJuly 28, 2015

Overview of Proposed Program

Developing an Energy & Water

Efficiency Program for LA’s Existing Buildings

• LADWP adopted a target to achieve

15% of their energy supply mix

through efficiency efforts by 2020;

50% more aggressive and three years

earlier than required by the state.

• Mayor Garcetti signed an Executive

Directive to reduce per capita potable

water use by 20% by 2017 and reduce

DWP’s purchase of imported potable

water by 50% by 2024.

• Statewide program in progress

through AB 758 to reduce energy use

in all existing buildings statewide and

Governor Brown’s new water

mandates.

December 3rd, 2014:

City Council Motion

14-1478 initiated an

effort to:

“convene a

stakeholder process

to develop a program

to improve the

energy and water

efficiency of existing

buildings.”

Why We Are Here – New State Goals and Mandates

• Governor Brown’s Inaugural Address– “I propose three ambitious goals to be accomplished within

the next 15 years: Increase from one-third to 50 percent

our electricity derived from renewable sources; Reduce

today's petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50

percent; Double the efficiency of existing

buildings and make heating fuels cleaner.”

• SB 350, the Clean Energy and Pollution

Reduction Act of 2015 (“Golden State

Standards”)

• AB 758 Draft Action Plan released

• Governor’s water mandates– Reduce water consumption 25% statewide

• Department of Energy released a report “Benchmarking

Transparency Policy Program Impact Evaluation Handbook”

• The analysis reinforces that Los Angeles is on the right track

• LA’s proposed path of policy leads to market transformation

Summary of Meetings: Here’s What We Heard


Who is included in this program?

Use building size (sq. ft.) to determine which buildings are “covered” by the

program.

What tool should be used to benchmark?

Use Energy Star Portfolio Manger (PM) to benchmark energy and water –

free, non-proprietary, government administered tool, and industry standard.

What will be done with the benchmarking data?

Provide on-line access to annual: Portfolio Manager score, energy use per sq. ft.

(EUI), and gallons of H20 per sq. ft., - consider including peak demand (kW) and

other factors.

Make it easy

Streamline collection and reporting of energy and water data, especially for

buildings with multiple meters – ideally LADWP data can automatically upload to

Portfolio Manager.

Provide flexibility in determining what operation changes or retrofits to implement.

Reward voluntary action and recognize high performing buildings

All buildings should benchmark but high performing may be exempt from further

requirements.



Supporting/complementary efforts

Recognize the need to support the practitioner community and expand the

workforce – offer workshops on the program and support for complementary

training and certifications.

Identify ways to better align the LADWP rebate and incentive programs with

market needs.

Coordinate with the efficiency community to identify needs and options for

financing.

Coordinate LA’s efforts with the County’s efforts, AB 1103 and other statewide

efforts (AB 758)

Proposed Energy and Water Reduction Requirements


Performance Path


Energy

• LEED EBOM certification with a

certain amount of energy points

• 15% reduction in energy use per

square foot

• EPA EnergyStar certification

Water

• LEED EBOM certification with a

certain amount of water points

• 20% reduction in water use per

square foot

• Conduct an audit of water

consuming systems

A building owner must complete one option for energy and

one option for water

Prescriptive Path


Audit

• A certified professional conducts an ASHRAE

Level 2 audit

• Full audit report submitted to building owner

• Subset of audit data submitted to DBS for

compliance

Audit alternative - Retrofits

• “Simple buildings” have the options of

installing retrofits from a specified list instead

of an audit

Retro-commissioning (RCx)

• A certified professional performs retro-

commissioning according to a specified list

A building owner must complete an energy and water

audit, as well as perform retro-commissioning

• Building owners will be notified between December and

January that they are required to submit benchmarking

information

• Department of Building and Safety will post a list of

covered buildings online that are required to benchmark

• Building owners of covered buildings will be notified at

least three years prior to the calendar year their energy

and water performance requirements are due

Proposed Notification and Posting


• Failure to comply with or misrepresent any material fact in relation to the ordinance would be considered unlawful and result in a penalty

• Failure to report or submission of fraudulent benchmarking information may result in:

• Issue of a written warning

• Failure to report within 30 days of warning may be fined up to $1,000

• Failure to report within 90 days may be fined up to $1,000

• Incomplete or false information may be fined up to $1,000

• Failure to report Energy and Water performance may result in:• Issue of a written warning

• Failure to report within 180 days of warning may be fined up to $5,000

• Failure to report within an addition 180 days may be fined up to $5,000

• Incomplete or false information may be fined up to $5,000

Energy Efficiency for LA

Existing Buildings – Final Workshop

July 28, 2015

David Jacot, P.E.

Director of Efficiency Solutions

Next Century Power:

Why Energy Efficiency?

• LADWP plans to exit coal by 2025• AB 32 – Environmental Leadership

• 2 years ahead of schedule

• Coal about 33% of power supply today

• Replacement power• Natural gas

• Renewables – 33% State-mandated by 2020

• Energy Efficiency (EE) – 15% goal by 2020

• Renewables and EE• Combined will serve almost 50% of power

needs by 2020

Next Century Power:

Commercial Customers Are Key to the 15% Goal

• LADWP’s commercial customers

represent a large majority of cost-effective

energy efficiency potential.

• LADWP’s EE investments across

customer segments are planned in a

similar proportion to achieve the 15% goal.

• Demonstrated EE potential does not

automatically guarantee these savings will

be acheived.

Next Century Power:

New Policies and LADWP’s Customer Programs

• New policies adopted by the City or State

may help LA achieve the 15% energy

savings goal by 2020.

• LADWP will adjust and optimize our

customer programs to work with any new

policies put in place in order to support

building owners in LA:

• Meeting the requirements of those policies

• Reducing their energy use and costs

Next Century Power:

LADWP’s Flexibility to Adjust Customer Programs

• Example:• CA Regulation: 2013 Title 24 Energy Code

effective 7/1/14

• LADWP response: Increased incentives and

existing equipment baseline implemented

10/1/14 for CLIP and CPP

• Example:• Potential LA City Ordinance: Mandatory

Benchmarking and Disclosure

• LADWP Response: Energy Efficiency

Technical Assistance Program (EETAP)

streamlined:• Eliminated “unique square footage” concept

• Milestone payments introduced

• More to come…

• Does the program reflect the stakeholder input?

• Are there aspects that need to be modified or clarified?

• Do you have suggestions for improvement?

– Program structure

– Reference standards

– Timing

• What needs to be done to ensure effective implementation?

– City procedures

– Workforce training and capacity building

– Building owner education

Next Century Power

LADWP vs. CA IOUs (SCE, PG&E, SDG&E)

Next Century Power:

Example Project – EETAP and CPP

• Example: Mid-size Hospital Facility• Measures: Retrofit lighting fixtures, lighting controls, HVAC

• Project cost: $250,000 (including IGA)

• Calculated energy savings:

• Lighting fixtures - 200,000 kWh year

• Lighting controls - 175,000 kWh/year

• HVAC – 125,000 kWh/year

• Total savings 500,000 kWh/year

• EETAP incentive : 500,000 kWh/yr X $0.04 /kWh =

$20,000

• CPP incentive: (200,000 kWh/yr X $0.15/kWh) + (175,000

kWh/yr X $0.10/kWh) + (125,000 kWh/yr X $0.25/kWh)

= $78,750

• Remaining project cost: $250,000 - $98,750 = $151,250

• Annual estimated energy savings: 500,000 kWh/yr X $0.15

kWh average blended retail rate = $75,000

• Payback after incentives ~ 2 Years
