California Schools

• California currently educates 1 in 8 public
  school students in America
• From 1980 to 1999, California public school
  enrollment grew by 46 percent from 4.1 to 6
  million students, a rate almost four times
  greater than national averages.
• Californias existing public school facilities
  are also rapidly aging with 55 percent of them
  more than 30 years old.
• California school districts operate facilities
  that need major upgrades and replacement of HVAC,
  lighting and/or other energy related equipment.
• Each year California schools spend nearly 450
  million on energy (more than the combined annual
  expenditure on educational supplies and
  textbooks).
• Two bond measures totaling 25 Billion are
  proposed for statewide ballot in 2002 and 2003
  to provide for school construction and renovation
  to meet projected demand

Target Audience

• Building Owners
• Design Teams

5
Two Approaches

• Whole Building Approach
• Preferred method of estimating energy savings.
• Encourages Design Team to integrate buildings
  energy systems.
• Produces the most energy efficient and
  cost-effective building systems.
• Systems Approach
• Simple, straight forward approach to energy
  savings.
• When design is done at different phases, or one
  energy system predominates.

6
Components

• Design Assistance
• Owner Incentives
• Design Team Incentives

7
Design Assistance

• Available to building owners and design teams.
• Matched to needs of project.
• New Construction Rep will coordinate scope.
• Examples include
• Recommendations on energy-efficient equipment
• Consultation on design strategies
• Building energy simulation model development
• Training on new tools and techniques

8
Owner Incentives

• Must exceed T-24 energy standards by 10.
• Incentive amount depends on approach and
  efficiency achieved.

9
Owner Incentives

• Systems Approach pays up to 75,000 per
  building.
• Rep calculates energy savings and incentives
  system by system.
• 0.03 - 0.12 per annual kWh saved annually
  dependent on technology.
• 0.34 per annual Therm saved annually

10
Owner Incentives

• Whole Building Approach pays up to 150,000 per
  building.
• Computer simulation analysis.
• 0.06 - 0.18 per kWh saved.
• 0.34 - 0.80 per therm saved.
