**Carbon emissions estimates based on national average total output emission rate published in 2012 eGRID; see appendix.
NOTE: Savings Pathways may have overlapping savings, so estimates are NOT additive.
Savings come from EE activities across:• industrial, commercial, public, residential bldgs• ratepayer-funded (e.g., utility) programs
• private sector initiatives• state / local government-run programs
7
Examples of State Legislature Role (not an exhaustive list)
• Adopt updated building energy codes and trigger an automatic review and update process when new codes are available
• Support energy and cost saving retrofits of public buildings and facilities
• Set energy efficiency targets for utility program administrators
• Enable the use of energy savings performance contracts
• Include combined heat and power (CHP) as a qualified resource in EE or renewable resource standards

Energy Efficiency Potential Studies & Achieved Electricity Savings
• DOE identified 79 energy efficiency potential studies published between 2007 and 2015 completed for states, utilities, and NGOs.1 They provide estimates across 44 states.
• The majority (60%) found an average savings rate of 1 to 2.5% from prior year electricity sales in economic or achievable potential.
• The 10 states leading on energy efficiency are already achieving 1.25 to 3.5% in annual electricity savings.2 Many of these states have been running energy efficiency programs for decades and are continuing to increase savings.

Background Slides – State Roles in
Pathway Policies and Implementation
22
State and Local Role in Ratepayer-Funded EE
Policy Actions
• State legislatures and public utility commissions can:
– Set EE targets for program administrators to meet (e.g., EE resource standard)
– Require that a utility plan to meet forecasted demand include EE (e.g., integrated resource plan [IRP])
– Designate an EE program administrator if not utility
• Public utility commissions can independently:
– Require utilities to offer energy efficiency programs
– Incentivize utilities to deliver energy efficiency (i.e., program and administrative cost recovery, recovery of lost revenues, and incentive payments)
Implementation Actions
• Energy savings are generated when customers install EE measures or change behavior to save energy, as encouraged by ratepayer-funded EE programs
States employ a variety of accountability and oversight structures to ensure savings
• IOUs: investor-owned utilities are regulated by state public utility commissions (PUC)
• Independent administrators: can be overseen by PUC, state energy office, or other agency
• Non-profit and public power: rural electric co-ops and municipal utilities are overseen by co-op boards and municipal governments, respectively, or by PUCs in some states
23
ISO 50001 and SEP can be supported by state and local action
Policy Actions• Public utility commissions can facilitate ISO/SEP expansion by:
– Promoting inclusion of ISO/SEP in ratepayer-funded efficiency programs
– Approving the energy savings from ISO/SEP audited results, both as part of mandated efficiency programs and those conducted voluntarily
– Developing a statewide registry of ISO/SEP facilities and energy savings
• State and local policymakers can facilitate ISO/SEP expansion by:
– Leading by example and pursuing ISO/SEP in state and local facilities
– Advancing ISO/SEP as part of economic development and large energy user engagement/retention strategy
Implementation Actions State and local implementation can be supported through:
– Providing technical assistance, tools, and incentives to encourage users to adopt SEP– Providing support for training and certification of Certified Practitioners in Energy
Management Systems (CP EnMS), SEP Lead Auditors, and SEP Performance Verifiers

24
Policy Actions• State public utility commissions can facilitate CHP installations by:
– Including CHP as a qualified resource in EE or renewable resource standards– Including CHP in utility or state ratepayer-funded efficiency programs– Standardizing interconnection requirements– Establishing reasonable standby rates – Pursuing models of utility ownership of CHP– Incorporating the non-energy benefits of CHP into cost-effectiveness calculations, including
resiliency and grid stability
• Local policymakers can streamline CHP installations by including CHP in local permitting codes and inspector training.
Implementation Actions State and local CHP implementation is supported by offering:
– Training, outreach, and enforcement of building efficiency policies and codes– Outreach and technical assistance regarding the energy efficiency and non-energy benefits of CHP

25
State and Local Role in Energy Savings Performance Contracting
ESPC pathway requires state and local action• Legislation enabling ESPC is adopted at the state level; nearly all states have
legislation allowing ESPC. • Decision or approval to use ESPC is made at the individual state or local agency,
department, council, or facility level.
Policy Actions• The most effective state-level ESPC policy includes establishing a state-level
program to provide technical assistance to entities pursuing ESPC projects.• State and local debt and financing policy impacts the way ESPC projects are
structured. A state legislature, governor, administrative agency, or local government can support ESPC by: o Establishing or leveraging a statewide savings goal
o Establishing or leveraging an energy savings goal or EE standard specific to state or local building stock (often set by the governor or local elected official)
o Establishing training or certification programs/requirements for building operators
o Establishing or accessing an internal financing mechanism that can provide a regular, low-cost funding stream for ESPC projects
o Establishing a state chapter of the Energy Services Coalition; chapter meetings bring together public and private ESPC stakeholders.
26
State and Local Role in Building Energy Codes
Building energy codes require state and local action
• There is no U.S. national energy code or standard. Building energy codes are adopted and implemented at the state and local levels.
• A designated state agency (e.g., energy office), local government agency (local code administrator), or both are responsible for code development, adoption, and enforcement.
Policy Actions:
• Adoption of new building energy codes can occur directly by legislative action or through regulatory agencies authorized by the legislature.
• The most effective state adoption processes include legislation triggering an automatic review and update process when new codes are available.
Implementation Actions:
• Actual energy savings are achieved through code compliance, not code development or adoption.
• State and local building officials enforce the code by verifying that what is built actually complies with the energy code.
• Adopting jurisdictions must educate and support local code officials to enforce the energy code.
• State and local governments can speed adoption by helping to prepare the building design and construction communities to comply with new energy codes.
27
State and Local Role in City-Led Efficiency
City-led efficiency requires state and local action
Policy ActionsState legislatures or public utility commissions can facilitate city savings through:• Enabling policies that facilitate clean energy financing, such as PACE (e.g., Texas,
Colorado)• Utility requirements to facilitate better access to energy data (e.g., California,
Washington)• Targeted city programming to encourage and provide technical and financial
assistance for community-wide efficiency (e.g., Massachusetts)
Implementation ActionsCity offices (e.g. General Services, Sustainability, Finance, Mayor’s Office), municipal utilities, or community-based organizations generate energy savings from: • Training, outreach, enforcement of building efficiency policies• Outreach and technical assistance for voluntary efficiency programs• Installing energy upgrades to municipal buildings, water/ wastewater treatment
facilities, streetlights
