3. 2007: Legislation amended the Illinois Public Utilities Act. It required the State’s largest utilities & DCEO to develop a portfolio of electric energy efficiency programs to meet legislative goals that reduce energy demand. 2008 (June 1): Electricity programs began. 2009: Legislation was passed to include natural gas energy efficiency programs to meet legislative reduction goals. 2011 (June 1): Natural Gas programs began. Funded by a system benefits charge on utility customers’ monthly utility bill – not by tax dollars. How did the Illinois Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard get started?

5. Illinois Energy Now is DCEO’s portion of the portfolio, serving public sector and low-income residential customers. We share an annual energy reduction goal with the utilities: 2.0% electric savings by 2015, 1.5% natural gas by 2017. Public sector programs receive 10% of funding. Low income receive a proportionate share. Illinois Energy Now provides financial incentives to:  make energy efficiency improvements  upgrade electric and natural gas systems  reduce utility bills  save energy  help the environment What is Illinois Energy Now (IEN)?

24. Illinois Energy Code The 2012 International Energy Conservation Code will require more insulation, a tighter envelope, tighter ducts, better windows, and more efficient lighting than the 2009 code. Public Act 096-0778 was signed into law on August 28, 2009 amending the Energy Efficient Commercial Building Act by including residential buildings and amending the name of the act to the Energy Efficient Building Act. The new requirements for residential buildings became effective on January 29, 2010. Public Act 096-0778 2012 IECC Takes Effect in Illinois on January 1, 2013 Senate Bill 3724, signed by the Governor on August 17, 2012, amends the implementation date of the 2012 IECC to January 1, 2013. It will lengthen the time the Board has to review and adopt future published editions of the Code and make them effective. This will allow stakeholders more time for training and preparation to build, design, and enforce the future updated codes. Senate Bill 3724

25. THE GOALS OF THE LAW The Law is designed to help protect the environment and reduce energy consumption. By following an energy conservation code, property owners can reduce air pollution, moderate energy demand and stabilize energy costs and electric, oil, and gas supplies. U.S. DOE estimates the 2009 IECC will save 18 percent and possibly even 22 percent of energy more than the 2006 IECC. The 2012 will save 32%.

26. DCEO and the Code Free State wide training available Technical assistance available Illinois Energy Office has provided codes training for over a dozen years. Started training on the 2012 IECC code last year Nearly 1,000 trained, another 1,200 expected this year Evaluating a methodology to claim energy savings
