1. Report On Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy Provisions of TERP [S.B. 5] to TCEQ/TERP Advisory Board August 4 th, 2004, Austin, Texas Energy Systems Laboratory, Texas A&M University System Malcolm E. Verdict, C.E.M. Associate Director mverdict@esl.tamu.edu Energy Systems Laboratory p. 1

2. WHAT IS THE ENERGY SYSTEMS LABORATORY Division within Texas Engineering Experiment Station, Texas A&M University System Conducts Research on Large Building Efficiency Design/Operations & Renewable Energy Provides technical assistance/training to local code officials Conducts testing of HVAC equipment, meters/sensors & photovoltaics Market deployment of building optimization technique - Continuous Commissioning® ESL Is A Resource for Emissions Credits From Building Efficiency Energy Systems Laboratory p. 2

3. MAJOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY/RENEWABLE ENERGY TERP PROVISIONS TERP Created 1 ST State Program for EE/RE Emissions SIP Credits Energy Systems Laboratory p. 3 Created framework for SIP credits from Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EE/RE) Authorized TCEQ to promote EE/RE as verifiable control measure to local governments & create methodology for obtaining SIP credits Mandated statewide adoption of residential/commercial Energy Codes Mandated 5% energy savings goal annually by local governments in affected counties

4. ESL SUPPORT TO TERP AND TCEQ TCEQ Has Made Significant Progress on SIP Credits for EE/RE Energy Systems Laboratory p. 4 Calculate emissions reductions annual savings from new construction Assist TCEQ to develop EPA acceptable emissions calculator [eCalc] for buildings, renewables, community-based initiatives, solar, and wind Assist TCEQ to develop EPA acceptable documentation for EE/RE measures Assist TCEQ with acceptable documentation for local government’s 5% goals & S. B. 7 utility measures

5. IMPACT OF TERP’S EE/RE PROVISIONS 2003 Codes Related NOx Reductions = 437 tons/year (2.44 tons/peak day) Local Governments may increase code stringency requirements [NCTCOG] Local governments may use EE/RE as a control measure AACOG Clean Air Plan NOx reductions of 12.33 tons/yr (0.044 tons/peak day) EE/RE SIP Credits Are Cost Effective & Non-Controversial Energy Systems Laboratory p. 5

6. FUTURE ESL ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF TERP Work closely with TCEQ on acceptable EPA methodology for SIP credits Help develop uniform reporting/documentation procedures among SECO, PUCT & TCEQ for creditable emissions Report 2004 Annual Emissions Reductions to TCEQ (8/31/2004) Expand content & use of web-based, EPA acceptable e-Calc methodologies Co-host San Antonio TERP conference to promote use of EE/RE (12/15-16) Expanding eCalc As Uniform Tool To Maximize SIP Credits Energy Systems Laboratory p. 6
