The document discusses three case studies of the CCSE (California Center for Sustainable Energy) helping customers with solar projects:
1. They determined for one customer that upgrading their tariff without adding more solar would save more money than investing in a new larger solar system. This saved the customer from a 20-year commitment with no return.
2. For a commercial developer, simulations showed a smaller solar PV system combined with a fuel cell would save $1 million upfront and $80,000 per year in utility costs while also gaining more LEED points than the original plan.
3. They found another customer's solar system was oversized due to misinterpreted feasibility reports, causing increased utility costs
This document discusses opportunities for near zero energy retrofits of residential buildings. It provides an example of a comprehensive energy retrofit completed on a single family home in Southern California. The retrofit addressed multiple systems including cooling, distribution, domestic hot water, energy management, insulation, lighting, and appliances. It achieved major energy reductions through air sealing, improved insulation, windows, ventilation, lighting, appliances, HVAC equipment, and solar panels. The document also discusses the role of energy auditors, multi-family retrofits, government and utility incentive programs, workforce training, and various certifications for quality assurance in the home performance industry.
1) The document discusses the need for a stable post-CSI policy environment in California that supports solar PV through various policy tools like rate design, incentives, financing, tax policy, and renewable energy standards.
2) It argues that reasonable barriers to entry are important to ensure high quality installations and consumer protection by only allowing qualified solar market participants and equipment that perform as expected.
3) The document notes that while high efficiency solar panels have higher upfront costs, these costs can be offset by lower operation and maintenance costs over the lifetime of the system.
The document discusses sustainability initiatives at Albertsons grocery stores. It outlines projects to reduce energy usage and carbon footprint through lighting upgrades, motion sensors, solar panels, and other efficiency measures. It also discusses reducing waste by improving recycling programs for cardboard, plastic, and other materials.

The Massachusetts Zero Net Energy Buildings Task Force developed recommendations to transform the state's building sector and create a pathway toward zero net energy buildings by 2030. Their recommendations include establishing energy performance standards for new construction and existing buildings, measuring and reporting actual energy use, designing incentives to reduce financial and regulatory barriers, and education and training programs. Collectively, these recommendations aim to dramatically reduce building energy use and carbon emissions through a comprehensive set of policies, programs, and mandates.
A zero net energy building is one that is optimally
eicient and, over the course of a year, generates energy
onsite, using clean renewable resources, in a quantity
equal to or greater than the total amount of energy
consumed onsite. he Task Force recognizes, however,
that currently, and even by 2030, certain buildings
will not be able to meet the deinition of zero net
energy for technological or economic reasons (or both).
herefore, the Task Force strongly recommends that
where zero net energy is truly not feasible, buildings
in Massachusetts should reduce energy loads to the
minimum practical level, produce onsite as much of the
required energy as reasonable rom renewable resources,
and purchase locally generated renewable energy to
satisfy remaining needs.

Revitalizing Communities By Design
Regenerative design and development could be incredibly simple. It merely requires taking time in a place to uncover stories, discover patterns, find essence, and then add value in any way that improves the capacity of a place to be whole, vital and evolving. Together with our clients and collaborators, we are taking steps to maximize social health, invigorate a sustainable economy and restore natural systems. This workshop explores essential questions that hold the keys to a broad-based shift toward regenerative practice. We’ll share our observations, process, projects, and metrics while drawing participants into a rich dialog of discovery.
Howard Blackson - Placemakers, LLC
In the 20th century, we have spent a lot of money and resources to build cultural wastelands that adversely affects our quality-of-life. With the demise of redevelopment in California, in conjunction with the demonization of Smart Growth, the future relevancy of these places rests upon our ability repurpose these miles and miles of regrettable and devalued strip centers, office parks, and housing tracks. Unfortunately, most citizens oppose any new development due to its potential conflict with their existing community character. Applying an urban design technique that purposely codes for a specific community character, this presentation will outline 21st century urban design tools to build towards walkable, mixed-use neighborhood centers.
With 20 plus years of professional urban design experience, Howard is the Director of Planning for PlaceMakers, LLC, a new economy company of seven (7) principals located across the United States and Canada.

Kaid Benfield, Dir. Sustainable Communities - NRDC
Kaid will discuss the opportunities and advantages of creating a sustainable energy future.We once thought of cities as the antithesis of sustainability - but we now know that cities can be the solution to, not the cause of, our environmental threats. To take advantage of the opportunities before us in an increasingly urban society, we must be thoughtful, shaping our metropolitan regions to reduce our environmental footprint while creating beautiful, green, inclusive neighborhoods within them. As people concerned about the health and future of the planet, we must approach this task with energy and humility, paying every bit as much attention to nurturing great people habit as we do to conserving the habitats of other species.
This document summarizes the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's (SJVAPCD) Drive Clean! Rebate Program. The program provides rebates of $1,000-$3,000 for purchasing or leasing new low-emission vehicles to encourage reducing emissions. It was created by revising an earlier incentive program to streamline the application process based on collaboration with state agencies. The goals are to increase the use of electric vehicles and funding for associated charging infrastructure valleywide.
This document discusses electric vehicles from the perspective of a utility and some of the impacts and opportunities that electric vehicles present. It notes that widespread electric vehicle adoption could nearly double the electrical demand of the average home. However, utilities can mitigate increased loads through infrastructure upgrades and smart grid technologies that allow for optimized and flexible charging. The utility discussed has received a smart grid grant and deployed smart meters, and is considering time-of-use rates and smart charging integration to help manage electric vehicle loads.
The document announces a workshop on electric vehicles (EVs) to take place on July 21 in Modesto. The workshop will include presentations on the basics of EVs, local and state incentives for purchasing EVs, how EVs impact the electric grid and utility bills, and a panel of local EV drivers sharing their experiences. Speakers will come from the California Center for Sustainable Energy, the Mayor of Ceres, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, and Modesto Irrigation District. The goal is to educate attendees on the benefits and opportunities of electric vehicles.
Michelle Kaufmann will talk about a quest for simplicity as a core component to a mission of making thoughtful, sustainable design accessible.
She will talk about her work in prefabrication, design-build, green homes and sustainable communities. Rethinking not only what we make and how we make it, but also redesigning the design process itself is key to the future of architecture and sustainability. Innovations in this category are abundant and exciting, and with strategic focus can help us all to have more quality, less clutter and simpler lives.

Storm windows, insulating shades, sash replacements, awnings - The good news is that we have so many ways to improve the performance of our windows. The bad news is...there are so many ways to improve the performance of our windows! How in the world can we objectively compare them on price, thermal performance, ease of installation, ease of use, solar control, privacy, and durability?
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories and BuildingGreen are working on simple and easy-to-use resources for selecting window retrofit options. With input on climate, existing window attributes, and performance priorities, anyone can cut through the difficulties of deciding how to improve the overall performance of existing windows.
Using resources from www.windowattachments.org, webinar participants will work through window attachment selection scenarios with the instructor and learn how to use these resources with their clients and on their own projects.
The new 2008 Title-24 Building Efficiency Standards became effective January 1, 2010. One of the most sweeping changes involve residential indoor and outdoor lighting requirements, particularly kitchen lighting and the new adoption of ASHRAE 62.2 indoor air quality code.
Kitchen Lighting, Title-24
New restrictions, control requirements, high efficacy fixture requirements and incandescent allowances, and interior lighting worksheets will add an additional layer of complexity to residential lighting design. This class will bring you up to speed on the new changes and address the underlying principles, calculation methods, strategies to assist you in complying with the new code changes and take you step by step thru the new CF-6R-LTG-1 lighting certificate of installation which must be filled out before the final certificate of occupancy will be issued.
Kitchen Lighting, Title-24
You will also understand which fixtures will comply as high efficacy (not all LED fixtures are certified as high efficacy), the lighting control requirements for each room type and the new fixture and control requirements for residential outdoor lighting.
Title-24, Title-24
California has now adopted the requirements of ASHRAE 62.2-2007 which means that starting January 1, 2010, all low-rise residential buildings are required to install whole house mechanical ventilation and satisfy other requirements to achieve acceptable indoor air quality. Openable windows will no longer be an acceptable method for satisfying outdoor air requirements. This will involve calculations for determining the minimum ventilation cfm and designing a system to provide the necessary airflow with proper controls. You will learn the proper method for determining ventilation airflow, strategies for designing a cost effective ventilation system, and how to fill out the new ventilation Certificate of Installation.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
