• October 22-23, 2007
• Clif Bowen, Moderator

University of CaliforniaCurrent 3-Year UC/IOU
Partnership

• 16.5 million in projects
• 49 projects
• Of this total, 8 million covered by incentive
  grants (at 1/therm and .24/kWh) and 8.6
  million financed by UC
• Yielding
• Avoided 32 million kWh/year
• Avoided 1.8 million therms/year
• 22 MBCx projects included yielding
• Savings of 7.3 million kWh/year
• Savings of 940,000 therms/year
• Of 3.7 million in project costs, 2.7 million
  was covered by incentive grants. UC
  contributions totaled 1 million (or 27.2 of
  total costs)
• Average payback period a little over half a
  year

University of CaliforniaPolicy on Sustainable
Practices

• Clean Energy Standard
• As with renewable energy projects, the
  University will develop funding sources and
  establish a program for financing retrofit
  projects. The initial goal for energy efficiency
  projects will be to reduce systemwide
  growth-adjusted energy consumption by 10 percent
  or more by 2014 from the year 2000 base
  consumption level
• (From March 22, 2007 revision of Policy on
  Sustainable Practices and implementation
  guidelines.)

University of CaliforniaProposed New IOU
Partnership

• Opportunity for significantly increased IOU
  funding for UC energy projects.
• IF UC can by June 2008 (March 2008 preliminary
  findings)
• Produce a Strategic Energy Plan (weve set aside
  1.8 million from Enron settlement)
• Address internal barriers to timely
  implementation
• Identify and commit central matching funding
• THEN IOUs would be prepared to fund up to 300
  million over 6-year period starting in January
  2009.
• UC matching funds of approximately 200 million
  (33 million a year) at established partnership
  rates (currently .24 per kWh and 1 per therm,
  with cap of 80 project value)
• Partnership consultant estimated a 10 reduction
  goal in 2014 would equal a reduction of 1300
  million kWh, or up to 130 million per year in
  perpetual energy savings (in current dollars) for
  UCs 200 million investment
• Potential inclusion of Municipal Utilities (to be
  negotiated)

University of CaliforniaState-Eligible Space By
Building Type(Small Buildings lt 20,000 gsf)
A survey of the 20 largest buildings at four UC
campuses suggests that on average COMPLEX
buildings use 2.2 times as much energy as BASIC
buildings.

University of CaliforniaBuilding Construction By
Decade(All Buildings in Blue and State-Eligible
Buildings in Red)
Opportunities for energy retrofits of existing
buildings 58 of UC facilities were constructed
before 1976 46 were built between 1950 and 1975
