Similar to Deep and Continuous Savings: Engaging the Multifamily Market throughout the Building Lifecycle (20)
New York’s Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) initiative seeks to fundamentally transform the way electricity is distributed, generated and used across the State. Utilities are being challenged to adapt their business models and distribution infrastructure to meet these new goals. REV also presents an opportunity for utilities to provide their customers with a broader range of services that lead to a more diverse, innovative and resilient energy infrastructure.
A key focus of REV is the transition to local distributed energy platforms including microgrids, which can be operated in conjunction with the grid or independently in emergencies. TRC recentlypresented an educational webinar to help New York’s utilities and other decision makers take action to plan and implement successful microgrids. This presentation covers:
• Basic concepts for developing a microgrid
• Differences from operating within the conventional grid
• Preliminary engineering steps required
• Options for generation sources
The webinar recording is available at http://blog.trcsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2015-01-22-10.02-Planning-a-Successful-Microgrid.mp4

This document discusses the use of advanced stack testing technologies to evaluate dry sorbent injection (DSI) for controlling emissions. Real-time, multi-location data is needed to accurately determine optimal sorbents, injection rates, and locations. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mercury continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) provide the necessary time-resolved and speciated data. Upstream/downstream testing using these instrumental methods allows calculation of true removal efficiencies and detection of plant and DSI variations. The data is used to compare sorbents and determine optimal injection conditions on a normalized stoichiometric ratio basis.
Installation of an Impervious Cap for Control of Residual NAPL Migration, Con...TRC Companies, Inc.
This document summarizes a case study of installing an impervious cap at a former manufactured gas plant site along a river in Ann Arbor, Michigan to control residual non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) migration. The cap was constructed using AquaBlok, a composite particle material that can be coated with treatment materials. At the site, layers were placed including a gas transmission layer, low permeability AquaBlok layer, and cover layers to trap and isolate NAPL migrating from contaminated sediments. Monitoring showed the cap was effective at providing an isolation barrier and reducing contaminant releases from the river sediments.

This document discusses strategies for closing ash ponds at coal-fired power plants. Key drivers for pond closure include upcoming regulations from the EPA, plant retirements, and liability management. The EPA is expected to finalize regulations for coal ash by December 2014 under Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. These rules will likely require ponds to stop accepting waste within 5 years and be fully closed within 7 years. Developing a closure strategy requires considering when to close, future land use, and whether to close in-place or remove the ash. Closure methods like in-place closure or removal to a landfill each have pros and cons regarding cost, environmental impact, and public perception. Proper planning is needed to address

8. Why Important to Serve Multifamily?
Under-served market
•
•
40% of metropolitan areas do not offer programs
Program investment disproportionate
Lower transaction costs
•
•
Economies of scale compared to single family
Serve numerous households in one transaction
Potential Savings
•
Potential energy savings by 2020:
– 51,000 GWh of electricity = 20 average size coal power plants
– 2,800 million therms of natural gas = non power plant therm usage of
California, Oregon, and Washington
– $9 billion in savings for property owners and tenants

Program Categories
• Direct Install – free installation of basic measures
• Rebates –individual, a la carte upgrades
• Whole Building – minimum savings requirement
and/or a mandate to upgrade a substantially all
systems in building
• Other – alternate delivery methods

(16%)

rebates, and direct

Whole Building Programs
• Many whole building programs are offered for new
construction only
– % over baseline: ENERGY STAR, energy code
• Whole building programs for existing buildings gaining

15. National Multifamily Program Survey
Trends
• New multifamily-specific programs launched
• Predominantly single measure rebates
• Direct install common
• Few require minimum savings levels
• Whole-building gaining traction
17. Barriers to Deep Savings
Program Silos
• Limit funding to serve either in-unit or common area (rarely both)
• Deter property owners from engaging in more than one program
– Time and hassle to owners
– Differing requirements (applications, tools, building simulation, etc.)
Market Confusion
• Multiple programs compete for the same customer
• Owner or their agent forced to navigate through offerings
Cost Effectiveness Requirements
•
Measure level or package level that may make no sense
–
•
TRC test not designed to be used at the measure level
Prohibit from investments in measures needed
18. Barriers to Deep Savings
Split Incentive
•
Owner invests, tenant benefits - 90% individually metered
Lack of Available Data
•
Billing data informs investment decisions
Lack of Confidence in Estimated Savings
Dwindling Cost Effectiveness
•
•
New construction: evolving codes, fewer cost-effective options
Retrofit: diminishing returns – baseline code vs. existing conditions
Changing Programs or Short Program Cycles
•
•
Do not align with capital planning and construction timeframes
Trade allies concerns about changing programs
20. Framework for Deeper Savings

22. Framework for Deeper Savings

• Hybrid whole building and prescriptive
– Provide upfront transparency of measures, savings,
incentives
– Enable deep savings through streamlined property
assessment
– Encourage prescriptive projects to deeper savings
24. Why Continuous Engagement?
The average business spends six times more to attract new
customers than it does to keep old ones
Efficiency Program Managers / team tend to be focused on winning new customers.
Why? Because if cost effective work is already done we move on.
• Why should we be focused on existing customers?
• What products can we sell to our current customers?
• What are some examples? Now? Future?
• How do we sell to our existing customers?
• What is the sales process? message? infrastructure?
25. Framework for Continuous Engagement
What products are offered after project completion?
