2. In 2007, legislation amended the Illinois Public Utilities Act and required that the State’s largest utility providers and the Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) develop a portfolio of electric energy efficiency programs to meet legislative goals that reduces energy demand. In 2009, legislation was passed to include natural gas energy efficiency programs to meet legislative reduction goals. Illinois Energy Now is the Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity’s program that is designed to administer the electric and natural gas rebates for public sector customers. Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard Illinois Energy Now What is Illinois Energy Now?

3.  Rebates or incentives for installing energy efficient products  Sets goals of reduction in annual electricity and natural gas load, rising to 2.0% by 2015 and beyond ◦ Direct Benefits  Each $1 spent on EE saves $2-4  Increased jobs to meet economic stimulation ◦ Indirect Benefits  Downward pressure on energy prices  Consumers have more $ to spend in the economy  Further savings linked to environmental externalities

4.  Rebates apply only to customers of the ComEd, Nicor, Peoples, North Shore and Ameren gas and electric territories.  Funded by System Benefits Charge on customers monthly utility bill  DCEO Energy Office administers an integrated electric and natural gas rebate program for Public Sector facilities and Low Income projects  DCEO administers the Self Directing Customer/Exempt Customer program under the natural gas provision under the statute.  Utilities administer rebate programs for commercial and residential projects

8. Integrated Natural Gas and Electric Efficiency Programs

9. ILLINOIS ENERGY NOW Public Sector Programs  Standard: specific incentives linked to easily quantifiable, individual efficiency measures such as traffic signals, indoor lighting, chillers, etc.  Custom: an incentive per $/kWh/therms saved for measures that are not standard  New Construction: new construction funding for buildings built beyond code.  Retro-Commissioning: identify and implement low cost tune-ups and adjustments to existing building operating systems

10. ElectricityNatural Gas ◦ Lighting Equipment ◦ HVAC Equipment ◦ Refrigeration Equipment ◦ Motors and Drives ◦ LED traffic signals ◦ Kitchen/refrigeration equipment Gas Furnaces ◦ Water Heaters ≥50 gallon ( Tanked & Tankless) ◦ Boilers ◦ Condensing Boiler ◦ Boiler Tune-Up ◦ Gas Forced Air Furnace Tune-Up

11.  Electric and natural gas efficiency improvements not captured by the standard program  Rebates based on kWh/btu’s for measures with 1-7 year payback on first year energy savings  Pre-approval, evaluation, and additional documentation required  Projects must meet cost-effectiveness requirements Projects that involve non-standard incentives and other unique projects ILLINOIS ENERGY NOW Custom Program

12. ILLINOIS ENERGY NOW New Construction Program  Provides grants to public sector entities to encourage applicants to design new or rehabbed buildings to achieve the greatest level of energy efficiency.  The program offers $/per square foot incentives for facility design improvements beyond code, with incentive levels increasing for additional percentages beyond code.  Estimated electricity/natural gas savings must be documented by energy modeling and/or supporting calculations.

13. ILLINOIS ENERGY NOW Retro-Commissioning Program  Provides public sector funding to identify and implement low cost tune-ups and adjustments to existing building operating systems with a focus on HVAC and building control systems.  Administered by Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC)  Year 3 provided funding for ~ 16 projects  Tune-up opportunities not end-of-life

14.  Allows local governments and non-profit entities serving the public sector to combine projects in an effort to simplify the overall application process & quickly deliver energy efficiency savings.  Compile energy efficiency projects, submit them to DCEO and will manage project implementation.  New delivery channel to hard to reach customers.  Training and Technical Assistance to program grantees will be provided to develop aggregated project applications.

15.  Education Fundraising Program promoting the sale and use of low cost, energy efficient CFL’s  Participation includes both Public and Private k-12 schools  Since program began in June 2008: ◦ 553 schools participated ◦ 129,000 EE products sold ◦ $180,000+ raised for schools.  Plan to add natural gas EE products to program June 1, 2011

16.  Village of Skokie ◦ New 80,000 square feet police station ◦ Energy & water efficiency, reflective roof, daylighting, light pollution control ◦ Seeking LEED Gold ◦ Project cost: $1,254,236.00 ◦ ARRA incentive Received: $41,236 ◦ Projected annual savings of 41,000 therms & 25% overall energy savings compared to ASHRAE 90.1 baseline ◦  Chicago Park District ◦ Install new efficient boilers and controls at Fuller, Hiawatha, Douglas, Columbus, Hamlin, Horner, and Tuley Parks ◦ Project cost:$1,421,637 ◦ Grant amount: $96,026 ◦ Estimated thermal savings: 96,026 therms annually
