Retro-commissioning Program All state-owned buildings > 50,000 sq.ft. RCx on a 5-year cycle; Goal - 8% savings Phase I – 25 projects: – Continuing to avg. 10% verified electrical savings for measures implemented with avg. payback < 3 yrs. – Avg. projected electricity savings for measures yet to be implemented approx. 14% with avg. payback approx. 4 yrs. – Avg. projected Nat Gas savings - 16% Phase II – 18 projects: – Investigation reports starting to come in – CEC/PIER Program – ENFORMA Building Diagnostics installed in 6 buildings Phase III – 13 projects: – Consultant contracts expected to be executed July 1, 2009 – All buildings to have ENFORMA installed Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment

Retrofit Program Implement cost effective efficiency retrofits – goal: 12% savings State of CA / Investor-Owned Utilities Partnership – Currently in “Bridge Period”; cycle under CPUC review – Enhanced incentives to improve margins for performance contracting or buy-down costs to fit existing budgets Statewide ESCO Contract – 1 st two RFP’s combined into one project; contract virtually ready for signature – Current challenge: Ability to get a GS $MART loan due to the credit markets Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment – ESCO model – Fund Investment Grade Audits (IGA’s) – Non-ESCO model – Leverage funding to support the investigation and design of aggressive energy efficiency projects at large facilities

Small Building Retrofit Model Buildings < 50,000 s.f. make up 2/3 of state-owned office space State/IOU Partnership has developed the roadmap and toolkit for success! – Rooftop package unit tune-up program – New HVAC technologies – Duct sealing – Load shifting to off-peak usage – Lighting upgrades (LED; wireless, dimmable controls; Personal Lighting Systems) – Vending machines; Exit signs – Resource monitoring Track usage Monitor and optimally maintain building systems Calculate GHG emissions State agency partners ready to go (DMV, CHP, DPR, DWR, DOT, MIL, DPH) Current challenges – Utility agreements – Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment – Revolving account needed to fully leverage incentives We can reach our goals, but it will take Executive-level support
