Presidential Priority

……to invest in the cheapest, cleanest and most reliable energy technologies we have – energy

efficiency and conservation – which can be deployed immediately!


What is Energy?

Energy is the ability to do work.Important in order to maintain life functions Humans use energy to modify environment and work.Energy is measured by the amount of work it is able to doThe units for measure are British thermal units (Btu).Burning a blue tip kitchen match is roughly one BTUIt takes one BTU to heat 1 pound of mass 1 degree


Sources of Our Energy

Renewable – an energy source that we can use over and over again, and can be replaced naturally in a short period of time. The renewable energy sources include solar energy, which comes from the sun and can be turned into electricity and heat. Wind, geothermal energy from inside the earth, biomass from plants, and hydropower from water are also renewable energy sources

Non-renewable – an energy source that we are using up and cannot recreate in a short period of time.


World Energy Use

World Population - 6.8 billionUnited States Population – 307 millionPercent World’s Population- 4.52 %United States Energy Consumption

= 25%


United States Energy Consumption 2007

The United States used 101.9 Quads of energy in 20071 Quad = 1015 Btu= 1 billion million Btu≈ 500,000 barrels of oil per day

for 365 days


United States Energy Use 2007


Residential Energy Use 2007


Commercial Energy Use - 2007


Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG)

Through formula and competitive grants to U.S. cities, counties, states, territories, and Indian tribes, the EECBG program empowers local communities to make strategic investments to meet the nation’s long-term goals for energy independence and leadership on climate change.

EECBG’s Purpose

Reduce fossil fuel emissions; Reduce total energy use; and Improve energy efficiency in the

transportation, building, and other appropriate sectors.

Additional purposes of the EECBG program are to spur economic growth and create and/or retain jobs under the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Subsequent Funding

US Conference of Mayors project multi year applications funding. Projected estimates:

$5 Billion in FY 2010 – 2011

$6 Billion in FY 2012


Reporting and Accountability

The President has made it clear that every taxpayer dollar spent on our economic recovery must be subject to unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability.



Funds must be used for authorized purposesEvery step must be taken to prevent instances

fraud, waste, error, and abuseMust meet specific goals and targetsMust contribute to improved performance on

broad economic indicators



For EECBG program funds, grantees are required to report regularly to DOE on:

Jobs created and/or retained Energy savings

Renewable energy capacity installed Greenhouse gas emissions reduced

Funds leveraged


EECBG Principles and Activities

The EECBG has established principles to guide entities in creating and implementing their energy efficiency plans. Such plans are composed of activities. The EECBG has also established recommended activities that are eligible for funding.


Eligible Activities

Grants can be used for energy efficiency and conservation programs and projects community wide, and renewable energy installations in or on government buildings.

Eligible Activity Commercial Energy Efficiency Software

Community Energy Efficiency Efforts

Development of an Energy and Conservation Strategy

Measurement of energy information for a large organization.

Empower local citizens to measure their energy, too.

Technical Consultant Services

Energy Efficiency software is used to measure and verify (M&V) consultant services recommendations

Citizens can track modes of transportation as sources of information for their energy efficiency program

Residential and Commercial Building Energy Audits

Track the occurrence of building audits in order to measure if they were successful.

Ad space can be provided audit companies for exposure

25



Energy Efficiency and Conservation Programs for Buildings and Facilities

Reports communicate the energy use, cost, etc graphically. Reports can be part of a public education program over internet in read-only access

Citizens awareness increases and conservation programs are emphasized and reinforced regarding energy conservation.

Renewable Energy Technologies on Governance Buildings

Implementation of renewable energy sources should reduce energy use in a building. Used to verify energy reduction and analyze the efficacy of the energy technology

Building Code and Inspections

The governing entity may publish new building codes, inspection services or contact information.

26



Energy Distribution Track building energy use for efficient or inefficient facilities as well as receive interval data for analysis

Material Conservation Programs

Reminders about material conservation programs can be communicated and contact links can be published for easy access for citizens.

Reduction and Capture of Methane and Greenhouse Gases

Accurate and easy measurement of the organization’s emissions. reduction goals can be disseminated and measured

Each citizen can understand their impact on the environment, and learn how they compare with their peers 27



Traffic Signals and Street Lighting

Track the electric meters for traffic signals and street lighting. Track before and after the equipment replacement in order to verify energy savings

The electric cooperatives of South Carolina wanted everyone to "Do the Light Switch." Each residential co-op member received, by mail, two compact fluorescent light bulbs, valuable information, and a container that can be used as a coin bank for members to 'bank' the savings they'll realize by switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs. Approximately 1.2 million CFL bulbs began arriving at electric cooperative-served homes in South Carolina. 61
