The global shift to clean energy is all about systems. And not just one system either. It interacts with politics, regulation and finance, as well as with adjacent industries such as transportation, real estate and telecoms.

One of the main implications is that analysis at the level of just one clean energy technology will only get you so far. The value of a solar rooftop in a world of electric vehicles is very different from the value of the same solar rooftop in a world without. The value of demand response is negligible in a world optimized around “baseload-plus-peak” generating capacity. The value of energy efficiency is negligible in a world of fuel subsidies. And so on.

The reality of the world’s energy transition: it is dynamic, complex, unpredictable and risky. So we move towards efficiency, flexibility, responsiveness, open data, transparency, and coalitions.

Harnessing our resources wisely is what will enable people all over the globe to enjoy a higher standard of living – and that is good news for companies.

But there is no economic future for companies if the resources they convert are depleted.

Sustainability is the best competitive business approach we have to using scarceresources wisely and effectively, minimizing waste and making smart investment decisions for an uncertain future. Sustainability for AECOM is: a) An operating philosophy, b) A point of view, c) A service we provide our clients, d) Something for which we advocate.

The big bubble is all the water in the world – ice, liquid, vapor, including what is in all organic material. The small bubble (which can’t see) is all the fresh water is river, lakes, and aquifers. USGS

The elephant in the room is water. We use huge amounts of energy to move water around and treat it. Similarly our transportation systems are massive consumers of energy. There is A lot of focus on reducing building energy use – some good examples and strategies – but it is not addressing whole problem.

As this diagram illustrates, the interconnectivity of these two increasingly scarce resources is tantamount to our lives.- Nearly 4% of U.S. power generation is used for water supply and treatment- 75% of the cost of municipal water processing and distribution is electricity- By 2050, EPRI estimates that energy needs to supply water for irrigation and industrial consumption will triple over 2000 levels

Top 15 investment flows by country…. A striking new report by Pew and BNEF finds that China is a net importer of clean technology from America

report titled “Advantage America” released on March 6th. The two countries traded about $6.5 billion in solar, wind and smart-grid technology and services in 2011—and America sold $1.63 billion more of such kit to China than it imported from there. One important explanation for this is that while China has strengths in large-scale assembly and mass manufacturing, it lacks the innovation to come up with high-value inputs.

AECOM has a very long history supporting development of infrastructure projects that include power generation and transmission. During the last two decades, substantial changes have taken place in the economic model for power generation and distribution, as well as the scientific and political context for power generation and use. AECOM has played a substantial role assisting clients, particularly in California. Picture above: NASA Ames Sustainability Base.

Photo of Ventura, Calif. (Home of Patagonia Sports.)AECOM has developed city-wide carbon reduction assessment tool. Using it for City of Ventura. It uses GIS to spatially track energy use by building typology and age, then games multiple packages of measures to identify which combination of typology and measures achieves optimal results. Not only assess building types but assesses transportation and waste systems also. Allows combinations of various systems and intensities of intervention to be tested for lowest cost pathway to total citywide carbon and reduction targets.

Home monitoring. Pacific Gas & Electric (that serves most of Northern CA) is conducting a pilot program of in-home monitoring to reduce energy consumption. Similar pilot programs have demonstrated an average 4% energy savings with the most successful programs generating 20% savings. The most successful programs make energy consumption data highly visible and accessible (comparisons to other homes in the neighborhood, current price, current consumption, red zones to indicate usage exceeding previous month’s consumption).

An early commitment to energy efficiency and carbon management brings significant competitive advantage. In the Middle East, AECOM is investing in, and working to become, a leader in providing integrated planning and energy solutions for a new sustainable future. Together with our global colleagues, we are focused on helping our clients to reduce energy consumption, develop renewable sources, improve grid reliability and cut emissions from fuels already in use.

We develop comprehensive energy-efficiency strategies to deliver sustainable solutions. Dedicated to reducing greenhouse gases, managing carbon emissions, and maintaining energy security and independence, we have generated more than $150 million in annual savings for clients in government, higher education, healthcare, corrections and water/wastewater facilities. ____________________________-With a global team drawn from to San Francisco to Halifax, AECOM led environmental impact studies and monitoring for the first wave energy conversion project in California (and only the second in the U.S.). For its Humboldt Wave Connect Project, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) will pilot the energy production, performance of up to five innovative technologies for marine wave energy development in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Eureka, California, USA. The test program will run for about 10 years, after which PG&E hopes to move into development and operation of a full array of wave energy converters.

The World Energy Council estimates that wave energy has the potential to be the largest renewable energy source in the world, estimated at 2 terrawatts (2 million megawatts) – about double the current world electricity production. Achievement of that goal is far into the future. The Wave Connect project is one of the first in the world to be put into the ocean.

We may love our cars, but we certainly don't spend much time with them.

The CityCar or MIT CityCar is an urban all-electric concept car designed at MIT Media Lab. The project was conceived by the late William J. Mitchell and his Smart Cities Research Group. It is now led by Kent Larson, Director of the Changing Places Research Group at the Media Lab. The project came into conception in 2003 under the support of General Motors. The CityCar weighs less than 1,000 pounds, is 60% the size of a Smart Car, and its lithium-ion battery pack is expected to deliver the equivalent of 150 to 200 mpg-us with no tailpipe emissions. Time Magazine selected the CityCar as one of the "Best Inventions of 2007.Hiriko Driving Mobility, a Spanish consortium, developed a commercial version based on the CityCar concept and began manufacturing of test pre-production cars in 2012. The production car, called Hiriko, is scheduled to begin a trail late July 2012 as part of a carsharing program.

Once buried and left for dead, the electric vehicle (EV) has been gaining ground at a slow, yet steady pace in the automotive market. With a growing middle class globally, and climate change concerns is helping to revitalize EVs in recent years.

Now Ford’s new Chief Operating officer suggests EVs could make up one-quarter of their sales by the end of this decade.

EV’s lithium batteries (and then there is the hydrogen fuel) prices becoming rapidly more efficient and costs dropping.

Parking Industry is changing. Patrons demographics using parking are changing: 1) aging; 2) millennial; 3) drivers license later and don’t own car; 4) urban living and car-sharing; 5) cost of ownership and vehicle maintenance; 6) environmental ethic.

The US Green Parking Council is recognized as an important driver for sustainable solutions in the mobility space.

Innovative and modern parking facilities will play a major role in future mobility solutions.

City central and urban parking- and mobility-hubs are key for individual and future based mobility solutions.

Iconic changes are initiated by leading organizations.

Parking garage – and the lot – at the center of trends and opportunities; we see parking as an enabler of that process and parking facilities as a key tool in the process of sustainable mobility. Cars are parked 94% of the time --- how can we capitalize on this opportunity?

Eco-District is a comprehensive, place-based strategy to accelerate low-carbon and sustainable development activities at the neighborhood scale by integrating water, energy, buildings, and mobility initiatives with community programs, utility providers, businesses, community leaders, and individual action.

Location efficiency in TOD patterns especially when coupled with green design and right-sized parking requirements. Shown is Bayfront mega-TOD on Honeywell brownfield property in Jersey City, NJ at Rte 440 – plan involves the flyover extension of NJT Hudson Bergent LRT from West Side Station.

28

Higher gas prices will continue and make clean energy ever more competitive. People do not like to waste money. Greater transparency of use and cost can be big driver of change. Increasing awareness of price of oil (gas prices), increasing awareness of water issues (climate change), increasing interest in low energy homes (private builders are developing low carbon/zero carbon home designs for post-recession market).

Prime driver is cost/benefit. Sustainable solutions are effective when they can demonstrate significant economic/human comfort benefits over the norm.

Policy and AdoptionBusiness - It is in business’ interests to become much more resource efficient –there are big cost-savings to be made, it creates positive brand impression and mitigates the risk of future resource shortagesGovernment – creates the platform and constituency for policy levers to drive incentives and market responsesGovernment +businesses can help government see that policy must work in a much more integrated wayNGOs – have a role to play not just in challenging but in collaborating with business and government to get solutions working on the groundCitizens – we must understand and engage in our own consumption decisions- it can save money, improve our health and happiness and secure a happier future

As EU examples have shown, Cities & Regions have taken the initiative to enact regional energy sector reform without waiting for directives from the European Commission. Frustrated by perceived inaction at the EU policy level, the Assembly of European Regions organized the “European Regions Energy Day” to share best practice examples, cooperate on projects and organize peer reviews and field visits. Projects include passive housing in Sweden and reducing GHG in Spanish Ports. The EU Commissioner is now soliciting AER input on energy policy for the EU.

It’s been a bumpy ride. Drop in investment after 2011 “growing pains” and the industry back in “robust health” soon.

Solar and wind technology will continue getting cheaper and cheaper, while costs for coal and natural gas inevitably rise. As the price of electricity goes negative on sunny and windy days in more countries, this rapid transformation is beginning to happen everywhere

32

The need is great for domestic energy production that is reliable, safe and affordable. The United States needs innovative solutions that help us use energy more wisely.

There is a clear role for government to play at this critical stage of the industry’s development – even while recognizing new budgetary realities.

First, government should adopt performance standards –covering fuel economy, electricity reliability and building efficiency, for example – rather than focusing on subsidies and direct investments. Performance standards spur demand and encourage flexibility in the development of technological solutions.

Corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards demonstrate how government mandates can drive technological improvements in a free-market structure.

Second, we need smarter subsidy programs and tax policies that encourage private investment to bring clean technologies to market.

Production tax credits (PTCs) and investment tax credits (ITCs) have been instrumental in the solar and wind energy industries in encouraging capital to come

33

in off the sidelines and fund new projects. While these credits have been instrumental in the adoption of these technologies.

To address this, ITCs, PTCs and other subsidy programs should be phased out as the technologies they support reach certain milestones tied to price, performance or some other competitive metric. Structuring subsidies in this way should eventually lead to a level playing field as clean technologies mature to the point where they can compete on their own.

The tax code should also be fixed to remove obstacles preventing renewable energy projects from benefiting from financial structures that have worked for other industries, such as master limited partnerships in the oil and gas sector, and real estate investment trusts in property development.

Third, government agencies should help build the market by installing clean technologies in their facilities. The federal government owns or leases more than 500,000 buildings and spends more than $7 billion a year on energy. State and local governments account for an additional $11 billion a year on building-related energy bills. That is before expenses tied to government vehicle fleets are factored in.

Government organizations across the nation already play a key role in the growth of clean energy as early adopters — driving demand through their purchasing decisions and helping manufacturers achieve the cost efficiencies that come from greater scale.

These initial steps can generate the successes needed to support new policy measures.
