6. Welcome and Groups goal
The San Diego Home Energy Professionals group was
created to discuss topics around Energy Conservation
and Efficiency in the San Diego region. There is a
significant amount of opportunity for businesses to
help home owners save energy.
Our focus will be the social, political and technical
aspects of energy efficiency and conservation. We also
hope to support and advocate for energy efficiency in
our community.
This meetup is open to all.
What value can we add to get people involved?

7. Quick 5 EE Terms
Is Solar Energy Efficiency?
Efficient energy use, sometimes simply
called energy efficiency, is using less
energy to provide the same level of energy
service. For example, insulating a home
allows a building to use less heating and
cooling energy to achieve and maintain a
comfortable temperature

8. Quick 5 EE Terms
Efficacy
The number of lumens produced by a watt used for
lighting a lamp. Lighting Efficiency.
Cost-effective
Having an acceptable payback, return-on-
investment, or savings-to-investment ratio.

9. Quick 5 EE Terms
Solar gain
Heat from the sun that is absorbed by a building and
contributes to the need for cooling.
U-factor
The amount of heat that will flow through a square
foot of building cross-section experiencing a
temperature difference of 1 degree F.

10. PACE / AB-811
Windfall?
Don’t believe all the rumors
When is it going to happen?

11. PACE / AB-811
Property Assessed Clean Energy or “ PACE” programs,
also commonly referred to as AB 811 - style programs, allow
local government entities to offer sustainable energy project
loans to eligible property owners. Through the creation of
financing districts, property owners can finance renewable
onsite generation installations and energy efficiency
improvements through a voluntary assessment on their
property tax bills. The assessment district approach adds a
powerful new option to the clean energy finance landscape.
