Updating Efficiency Standards

New building standards will reduce demand by 200 MW a year

We have added 8 new appliance standards reduce demand by 133 MW addressing AC standards and technology

Turn off lights that are not being used

Set t-stats lower when heating, higher when usingAC

Turn off office equipment when not in use(night/weekend)

Turn down the remaining lighting levels

Set t-statistics to pre-cool spaces at off-peak times

How Did Businesses Conserve?

92% of respondents have taken energy conservation actions, mostly turning off lights and adjusting thermostats

Mexico/CEC Project Successes Energy savings - Municipal governments and

schools $10 million to date, focus on lighting

Wind power - La Ventosa $1.5 million to date, 40 MW proposed same successful developer as in France and Greece

Industrial efficiency - Grupo Cysda synthetic fiber plant in Guadalajara energy savings calculated to be 18% internal capital

CEC has also contributed funding and expertise

PIER Buildings Program HighlightsBerkeley Lamp

Model partnership between CEC/DOE/California utilities

PIER funded Phase 1 to develop task/ambient lamp concept

DOE funded Phase 2 to develop specific lamp configuration

PIER was instrumental in moving technology into the marketplace via coordination with utility Emerging Technology Coordinating Council

www.energy.ca.gov/pier/pr.htmlProject is both a technical success and a customer success

PIER Buildings Program HighlightsNight Breeze

Provides ventilation and cooling at

night, reducing or eliminating the

need for air conditioning during

the day

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION

PowerLight’s PowerGuard

PowerLight’s insulated 30 year roof system reduces building air

conditioning loads while it’s PV surface generates electricity during hot and

expensive peak summer hours

While California is known for its hot dry summers, that same solar resource provides a clean, safe and reliable way

to generate electricity

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION

The California Energy Commission is looking forward to working with its partners to continue standards development for improving end-use

energy efficiency develop and demonstrate new, efficient, non-polluting

energy technologies promote Mexico/California projects that provide benefits

to all parties

We will meet public needs for affordable, reliable, environmentally-safe electricity.
