Introduction

Integrated Approach
Different fueltypes
• Electrical• Thermal• Transportation
Different fuel uses
• Buildings• Transportation• Infrastructure
Overlapping mandates
• EE, RE, water, GHGs, metering
• Life cycle cost
Bring people together
• Fleet• Public works• Maintenance• Utilities• Legal• Finance/Economics
Align incentives
• Facility managers measured on goal building site Btu
• New categories of buildings / fuel use for savings

Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
RPS is a regulation that requires the increased production of energy from renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, biomass, geothermal, wind).
5
RPS Policy Analysis
www.dsireusa.org
29 states,+ Washington DC and 2 territories,have
Renewable Portfolio Standards
(8 states and 2 territories have
renewable portfolio goals).

Why all the Resilience Buzz?
A secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and
recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.
- FEMA, National Preparedness Goal (2011)

What is Resilience?
… the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and re-organize while undergoing change so as to still
retain essentially the same function, structure, and identity…

Resilience and Renewables
• New Jersey RPSo 20.38% Class I and Class II
renewables by 2020-2021 o + 4.1% solar-electric by
2027-2028
• New Jersey was 2nd in the nation for solar PV installations
• Only 2 PV systems were known to have operated during/after Hurricane Sandy William Paterson University, NJ

Resilience and Renewables
• Metering policies• Grid controls• FEMA• State Agencies:
o DEPo OEMo GORRo NJ BPU
Bayonne School, NJ operated as a shelter during Hurricane SandySource: E. Hotchkiss, NREL

Resilience and Renewables
• Defined critical infrastructure
• Identified energy loads
• Reviewed resources for solar, wind, methane capture, etc.
• Summarized technologies by building activity

Resilience and Renewables
• Reviewing policies• Resilience Bank

What Can YOU Do?
• Share experiences• Learn from others’
experiences• Review policies• Conduct analyses• PLAN to use renewable
energy to achieve resilience
