10Energy Impacts of Water Use
11Water Energy Use Relationship
ENERGY
- At Issue
- Our region is in an extended dry period and needs
to conserve our precious water resources - Compounding the concern is the impact on
electricity and natural gas use and its
relationship to water use - Our Objectives
- An appreciation for the direct link of water and
energy use and associated environmental impacts - Opportunities to reduce water and energy use
12Water Energy Use Relationship
ENERGY
- According to the California Energy Commission,
water treatment and transport represent - 19 of Californias electricity consumption
- 32 of Californias non-power-plant natural gas
consumption - 88 million gallons per year of diesel fuel use
- Note that the energy component represents a
significant portion of water rates

17Environmental Impacts
18Impacts from Water/Energy Use
IMPACTS
- Energy and water end-use creates the following
environmental impacts - Climate Change potential associated with
greenhouse gases from fossil fuel power
production and use - Air Pollution related to smog, acid rain,
particulates and reduced views - Land Pollution with mining and operations for
fuel extraction, power production, building
dams/reservoirs - Water Pollution affiliated with fuel extraction
and thermal cooling for power production,
building dams/reservoirs
19Global Warming Headline San Diego
CLIMATE
20Global Warming Policy California
CLIMATE
Global Warming Solutions Act (AB-32) Signed by
Governor Schwarzenegger on Sept. 27, 2007 Caps
Californias GHG emissions at 1990 levels by
2020 The first such GHG enforceable state-wide
program in U.S.
21Resource Management Initiatives
CLIMATE
- Various local, state, national, international
initiatives that have stated climate change
goals - Climate Smart
- Western Regional Climate Action Initiative
- San Diego Regional Sustainability Partnership
- U.S. Green Building Council
- Step It Up 2007
- 2010 Imperative

22Benefits of Less Energy/Water Use
23Saving Water Offers Multiple Benefits
WATER
- Preserves precious water resources
- Lowers operational costs
- Fosters economic development
- Protects from impending water shortages
- Reduces urban runoff minimizing pollution
- Rapidly implemented compared to supply additions
- Decreases energy consumption
- which in turn
24Saving Water Indirectly Saves Energy
ENERGY
- Saves consumers and businesses money
- Helps with economic development
- Changes the energy supply and demand balance and
puts downward pressure on energy prices - Decreases reliance on energy imports
- Lowers air, water and land impacts from mining,
production, transmission and use of energy
sources - Reduces carbon emissions, helping to temper
gases that contribute to global climate change

28Energy/Water Efficiency Opportunities
EFFICIENCY
- Common areas of focus include
- Site planning, landscaping hardscaping
- Building envelope/shell (foundation, floors,
walls, and roof) - Mechanical (HVACR, water heating, pumping)
- Electrical (motors, transformers, etc.)
- Lighting (indoor and outdoor)
- Appliances
- Office equipment, electronics plug loads
29Design Integration Green Buildings
GREEN BUILDING
30Definition of Green Buildings
GREEN BUILDING
- Green Building is a process to create buildings
and supporting infrastructure that - Minimize the use of resources
- Minimize harmful effects on the environment
- Create healthier environments for people
31Definition of Green Buildings
GREEN BUILDING
- Green buildings commonly address opportunities in
the following five categories - SUSTAINABLE SITES
- WATER EFFICIENCY
- ENERGY ATMOSPHERE
- MATERIALS RESOURCES
- INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
32Green Building Savings
GREEN BUILDING
33Available Support Programs
34Incentive and Support Programs
