What is the Alliance to Save Energy?

Mission:

To promote energy efficiency worldwide to achieve a healthier economy, a cleaner environment, and greater energy security.

The Alliance is…

Thirty years in the making

Led by Board of Government and Business Leaders

Staffed by 50+ professionals

Operating Internationally

Fuel Neutral

Forging Alliances: Business, Govt. & Public Interests

Sponsorship and participation of more than 150 organizations

Involvement by businesses in all economic sectors

Initiatives underway in research, policy advocacy, education, technology

deployment, and communications

Energy Efficiency: Powering the U.S. Economy for 30 Years

Why Focus on the Built Environment?

Codes: Helping to Cut Global Energy Demand Growth Better Buildings are part of the solution to cutting global energy demand growth from 2.2% to 0.7% Source: McKinsey Global Institute

The Great Frontier: Improving Building Codes

The opportunity If all states improved codes by 30% in 2010 and an additional 20% in 2020, our nation could save each year :

5% of total energy use (3 quadrillion Btu)

$50 billion in consumer energy bills

greenhouse gas emissions of 70 million autos/100 million tons of carbon dioxide

The Energy Efficiency Codes Coalition

Success; But More Work Needed

New Residential Energy Code (2009 IECC):

13% boost in new home energy efficiency beyond current model code

Average annual energy cost savings of $246

Tomorrow…?

2010 Commercial Energy Code Boosting Efficiency by 30%

Federal Legislation Directing 30% Improvement by 2010 and 50% Improvement by 2020 (Homes and Commercial Building)

Aggressive Adoption and Enforcement by States

Investment in RD&D for Building Efficiency Technologies to Underpin Carbon Neutral Buildings

Tackling Efficiency Within Our Homes The Lighting Efficiency Coalition developed and advocated efficiency standards included in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007), calling for a phase-out of today’s inefficient incandescent light bulbs by the year 2014.

Light Bulb Standards: Reducing Emissions through EE

U.S. set performance standards for general service light bulbs, starting in 2012-2014

25-30% savings: will phase out traditional incandescent bulbs

When fully implemented, consumers will save:

$18 billion annually on their electricity bills

158 million tons of CO2 and 5700 lbs . of airborne mercury emission

Equivalent electricity as provided by 30 baseload power plants

Second standard in 2020 must achieve roughly 65% savings

$100 Million City Project “ Cambridge Energy Alliance”

$100 million, 5 year, massive energy efficiency project in Cambridge, Massachusetts

All sectors – commercial, industrial, government, universities, hospitals and non-profits, housing and residents

Goal of reducing peak demand by 50 MW and fuel and electricity use by 10% over 5 years; major reductions in GHG emissions

Best way for city, companies and consumers to stabilize energy costs and reduce pressure on the grid

Significant number of new jobs and economic development

City as Champion

Cambridge rallies its businesses, universities, organizations and citizens to reduce energy use and costs while making its infrastructure more efficient

Reduce Cambridge’s energy costs

Reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil

Reduce Carbon and GHG emissions

City Levers:

“ Brand” - credibility in Marketing and Investments

Authority to deal with all parties

Trusted relationship with large and small companies, university and nonprofit sector and residents

City as a Natural Aggregator of:

Energy Demand

Public Incentives

Private Investment

Energy Efficiency Partnership of Greater Washington Goal: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions 20 to 50% from existing buildings Advocates: Collaborative partnerships between businesses, banks, local governments and energy services companies How: $500 Million in financing; Repayment through energy savings Public/Private Partnerships

Local Leadership Pursuing our New ‘Manifest Destiny’ The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) - Local Governments for sustainability

A Look at President-Elect Obama’s Platform…

On Energy Efficiency

Reduce Electricity Demand 15% by 2020

Net-Zero Energy Buildings by 2030

Overhaul Federal Appliance Standards

45% Improvement in New Federal Building Energy Use by 2014

25% Improvement in Existing Federal Building Energy Use by 2014

15% Overall Reduction in Federal Energy Use by 2015

Flip Incentives for Utilities

Invest in a “Smart Grid”

Weatherize 1 Million Homes Annually

Invest and Incent “Livable Cities”
