- 1. Efficiency First California is the voice of the California home performance industry. We advocate for a sustainable, scalable home performance industry that competes on efficiency and innovation. We are committed to the State goal to reduce residential energy use by 40 percent by 2020. Chris Cone, Program Director www.efficiencyfirstca.org
- 2. What is America’s largest source of carbon emissions? Residential and commercial buildings use 41 percent of total energy consumed, and have the biggest combined carbon footprint.
- 3. Clean energy loading order Fundamentals Major Systems Renewables • Air Sealing • Insulation • Duct Sealing • Lighting • Appliances • Moisture Control • Water Conservation • Plug Loads • Behavior • Heating • Air Conditioning • Ventilation • Water Heating • Windows • Solar PV • Solar Thermal • Wind • Water Catchment First Reduce, Then Produce Building science principals
- 4. The Path to Zero Net Energy • State policy: Least cost energy source is efficiency (cheaper to save energy than generate it) • Buildings can produce both negawatts (unused energy) and kilowatts • Commoditizing negawatts will enable a utility procurement market that rewards investment in long-lasting energy reduction • Buildings are a distributed clean energy resource
