Energy Trust Funding & Incentives

  • Funding for incentives is provided

by ratepayers of PGE, Pacific Power, NW Natural and Cascade Natural Gas through a percentage charge on customer utility bills.

  • The Oregon Public Utility

Commission is responsible for

  • verseeing Energy Trust

administration of ratepayer funds.

  • In 2010, paid more than $71.3

million in incentives for efficiency and renewable energy projects.

Savings that are predicted by your energy model can result in real dollar savings to the owner.

Why are Savings important to you?

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Other non-energy benefits (NEB’s) that are realized through energy conservation:

  • Marketability (public image)
  • Better tenant retention/occupancy rates
  • Increased occupant comfort
  • Environmental benefits (ex. CO reduction)

Why are Savings important to you?

  • Environmental benefits (ex. CO2 reduction)

SLIDE 5

Why are Savings important to ETO?

  • Savings credited to utilities’ IRP
  • Used for load forecasting
slide-6
SLIDE 6

Energy Efficiency is viewed as a resource equivalent to generation - “The less you consume, the less you have to generate in the first place.”

Why are Savings important to ETO?

SLIDE 7

Since 2002, cumulative savings total of:

  • 254 average megawatts of electricity
  • 17.8 million annual therms of natural gas
  • Saved participating customers almost $800

million in bills

Measure Analysis and Development

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Why

  • Increase demand for product
  • Drive down product cost over less

efficient alternative How

  • Request from PMC

New Measure Analysis

  • Request from PMC
  • Request from market (A/E firms)
  • Regional support - Opportune time for

a coordinated effort

  • Pilot effort - ex. Emerging tech.

Measure Development List

Measures Under Analysis Program Sector Measure Name Description Status Building Sector Priority Responsible BE VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) Develop prescriptive VFD measure for BE similar to NBE program Waiting for LMC to initiate blessing memo Office, Retail, School 1 LMC BE Under counter commercial dishwashers Re-do dishwasher analysis to align with upcoming EnergyStar changes. Re-run cost effectiveness test to align with new EnergyStar levels. Foodservice 1 ETO NBM Boiler Pipe insulation Revise old R-8 insulation measures to be more like BE measure. ETO working savings numbers around to keep incentive levels equal. Multi-family 1 ETO BE/NBE Commercial windows Replacement of windows with various U-factor and SHGC combinations for new and existing buildings ICF finalizing PST for both programs Office, Retail, School 2 ICF BE Window Films Tinted window film to lower cooling requirements of commercial buildings Enerlogic has made a product that appears cost-effective for large office

in windows PST, and could find market niche in historic buildings Hospitality/Lodging, schools, grocery, retail, office, hospital 2 LMC niche in historic buildings NBE Controls for EC motors in walk-ins Measure to add a controller or program the EC motor so that fan speed is varied based on refrigerant flow. For a single compressor system, the fan will go to a low speed when compressor stops running. In a multi- plex, a liquid line solenoid valve must be installed so that refrigerant flow can be stopped to the evaporator coil so that refrigerant doesn't go unevaporated through the coil when the fan speed ramps down.

Prioritizing Measures

slide-30
SLIDE 30
  • Quantifiable and repeatable energy

savings across a broad spectrum of building sectors, climates, etc.

  • Generally preferred by participants and

program staff

Measure Types - Prescriptive

program staff

  • “You get x dollars per piece of

equipment”

slide-31
SLIDE 31
  • May demonstrate repeatable savings, but

varies across installations & building types

  • Not always widget based
  • Climate dependant

Measure Types - Custom

  • Climate dependant
  • Hours of use/occupancy dependant

When should New Buildings projects model?

  • Projects pursuing LEED certification
  • Projects > 70,000 SF
  • Energy intensity of project type (e.g.

Grocery vs. grade school)

  • Pursuing aggressive energy efficiency

strategies (e.g. natural ventilation and radiant floors)

slide-40
SLIDE 40

When should Existing Buildings projects model?

  • Modeling is recommended when:
  • Implementing pneumatic to DDC conversions

(SP reset, ST reset, etc.)

  • Estimating savings with heat recovery chillers
  • Estimating savings with heat recovery chillers
  • Implementing demand-controlled ventilation

(DCV)

  • Capturing interactions between two or more

measures

Pilot Programs – Existing Buildings

Building Performance Tracking & Control Systems (BPTaC Systems) What’s being piloted?

Incentives for systems that promote behavioral changes Incentives for low cost control systems Incentives for optimization software that requires no human interface Energy consultant provides feedback of performance and makes recommendations Energy consultant provides feedback of performance and makes recommendations Motivation for increased participation with Existing Building incentives

Final outcome of all this analysis?

Evaluation of projects is used to inform us of predicted vs. actual savings
