Subject: Ecos' response on "LiteVend" budget for Ariana Merlino
Importance: High
Dear Ariana,
Thank you for the opportunity to clarify the budget for the LiteVend
program. We appreciate your patience in this matter.
Attached is a spreadsheet that shows the connections between the Program
Budget Summary and the Program Budget Details. This document includes the
individual Utility Service Territory budgets from which the final "Program
Budget Detail" spreadsheet was created.
Please note that some of the numbers differ slightly between the "Program
Budget Summary and "Program Budget Detail" documents. This is due to
rounding and working with percentages in the linked spreadsheets in the
workbook. As you are aware, we consider the financial information contained
within the workbook "business confidential" and are requesting you to treat
it as such.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
at 503-525-2700 ext. 104 or mton@ecosconsulting.com
<mailto:mton@ecosconsulting.com>. If you would also use my name and contact
information for any additional contact the CPUC may have with our office
regarding this proposal as well as others submitted by Ecos Consulting, it
will help to expedite matters while others in our office are on travel.
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Gutheinz:
This correspondence is with respect to California State University Chancellor's Office Energy Efficiency Program. We are requesting the following additional information regarding your proposal:
Complete, itemized budget including all direct implementation costs. The budget should be separated by utility territory as well as by university within each territory. Please also include the expected contribution amount from the universities participating in the program.
A response should be provided via e-mail, by noon on Monday, March 18, 2002. Please send your response to ru4@cpuc.ca.gov. If you wish to mail a hard copy as well, please use the address listed in the above letterhead, Attn: Ariana Merlino.

Dear Ms. Merlino:
In response to your March 11, 2002 letter to Mark Gutheinz requesting additional information on California State University's ("CSU") energy efficiency program, Grueneich Resource Advocates, on behalf of CSU, submits the following documents, which we believe provide all the information you requested:
1. CSU Energy Efficiency Cost Proposal (Word table format)
2. CSU Cost Allocation by Utility and Campus (Excel spreadsheet)
3. CSU In-Kind Services Contribution (Excel spreadsheet)
The CSU Energy Efficiency Cost Proposal table contains program cost information corresponding to the amount of funding that CSU is requesting from the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC"), as well as the corresponding amount that would be applied in each UDC's territory. Additional program costs to be borne by CSU (and therefore not reflected in this table) include payment of the 5% Administration Fee to the UDCs1 and in-kind services provided by the campuses and the CSU Chancellor's Office to cover site inspection, installation, and M&V services, as well as overall project and contract management. These costs are identified in the spreadsheet entitled CSU Cost Allocation by Utility and Campus. Campus costs are estimated to be 15% of the amount being requested from the CPUC. This spreadsheet table also contains the breakdown in direct implementation costs by campus as well as by UDC service territory. A third spreadsheet, called CSU In-Kind Services Contribution, contains the assumptions and calculations used to derive the value of CSU's in-kind services.
CSU appreciates the opportunity to provide this addendum to our energy efficiency proposal. If you have any questions please contact Mark Gutheinz or Clyde Murley.
Sincerely,
Clyde Murley

Dear Ms. Merlino:
This letter is in response to your data request dated March 11, 2002 regarding the program proposals submitted by The San Diego Regional Energy Office (SDREO).
Correction to SDREO Response dated March 18, 2002: General Changes to Each Budget
Year-one originally assumed a 9-month program instead of 8 month (April - Dec 2002). This lowers labor cost and subcontract cost in year one.
San Diego Regional Energy Resource and Education Center (ERC)
SDREO appreciates this opportunity to clarify some of the costs estimated in our original submission. SDREO did not spend a lot of resources on planning the ERC, and subsequenbtly, as we looked closer at costs were able to improve our costs significantly. If selected, we belive there will be additional significant savings that can be achieved through a) integrating IOU and non-IOU information programs into a single program and b) considering commiting to a longer-term education program.
Other programs that may provide synergistic staff and resource to the ERC are as follows:

7. Diagnostic tools costs are for tool loan program. See Attachment B for listing of tools that we anticipate having on stock and available.
8. Library materials are various books, CDs, interactive training, periodicals. Detail list not available. This is an estimate and not to exceed figure only.
9. Exhibits- Assumes initially 15 exhibits at approximately average $8,000 per exhibit. Subsequent year would upgrade or replace 3-4 exhibits with new technologies.
10. IT Support - Costs are for wiring Computer-based Training Workstations 300 hours at $100 per hour plus miscellaneous interconnection equipment costs. Second year costs are for maintenance and improvements. Ongoing costs will likely be lower once system operational.
11. Facility Improvements- Initial estimate was too conservative. Revised estimate is at $35 psf, for 2500 sq-ft. Actual costs are likely to be much lower depending on whether facility has pre-existing improvements. Improvement costs may be avoided altogether with longer-term lease, which is not possible due to term of contract (18 months). This is a not to exceed figure.
12. Program Development- Cost estimate is for consultant to assist with planning, designing and implementing ERC. Initial estimate was overly conservative. New estimate based on 1000 hours at $125 per hour and SDREO staff assuming some of the anticipated workload.
13. Education Programs- Initial estimates were too conservative. New estimates based on developing 15 online, flash-based educational programs at an average of $4000 per program. Once developed, standard educational programs can be made available statewide with slight modifications for local regions. Additional costs for support of 10 imported training sessions at estimate $1500 per session. Second year costs continue imported training and expand/improve online training.

Dear Ms. Merlino:
This letter is in response to your data request dated March 29, 2002 regarding the San Diego Direct Install Commercial Program proposal submitted by The San Diego Regional Energy Office (SDREO).
The revised budget consistent with the re-submitted budgets provided in response to your Data Request dated March 11, 2002 is found as Attachment A.
With regard to the second question: SDREO apologizes for the problem with formatting of Section 9: Budget Detail. The 7th line should read "200,000 Annual kWh of Custom Savings @ $0.225" and the next line should read "20,000 Annual Therms of Custom Savings @$1.125." These are the same items listed in the bottom two rows in the cost-effectiveness spreadsheet.
A revised Summary Budget can be found as Attachment B. A small error was found I the Miscellaneous M&V costs that reduced the line item from $1,179 to $400.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (619) 595-5630 or email kkam@sdenergy.org.

Re: Data Request on Proposal dated January 15, 2002
Dear Ms. Harrigan:
Thank you for submitting your proposal to CPUC dated January 15, 2002 (Green Schools, Green Communities). In reviewing your proposal, we have the following questions:
1. Please confirm that on page 20 of your proposal, the Total of the table should be $1.38 million and not $3.38 million.
2. For the total proposal expenditures of the program of $1.38 million, what is the breakdown for SCE and PGE territories?
Please respond ASAP to this informational data request. Thanks
Very truly yours,
Sarv Randhawa
Energy Division
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your inquiry.
Question 1: Yes, the correct total amount requested in the proposal is $1,380,000. I apologize for the typographical error on page 20.
Question 2: The funds would be split approximately one third/two-thirds between the Green Schools Programs in the two areas, with approximately two-thirds of the funds ($920,000) going to the two Green Schools clusters in the SCE territory, and approximately one-third ($460,000) on the Green Schools cluster in the PG&E territory.
If you would like more details on exactly how the funds will be spent in each area, I would be happy to provide them.
Merrilee Harrigan

Dear Mr. Stoner:
This correspondence is with respect to the LGC program proposal for Regional Energy Authorities in Humboldt, Marin and Ventura Counties sent to the Commission on January 15, 2002. We are requesting the following additional information regarding your proposal:
1. Please provide separate budgets for the LGC proposed programs in Humboldt and Marin Counties. Please follow the same format used in your original proposal.
2. Please describe any other sources of funding the LGC has secured or may secure for this program.
A response should be provided via e-mail, by noon on Monday, March 18, 2002. Please send your response to zap@cpuc.ca.gov. If you wish to mail a hard copy as well, please use the address listed in the above letterhead, Attn: Tim Drew.
Thanking you in advance for your prompt response,

Reply to CPUC staff request for information regarding the LGC program proposal for Regional Energy Authorities in Humboldt, Marin and Ventura Counties sent to the Commission on January 15, 2002 for:
1. Separate budgets for the LGC proposed programs in Humboldt and Marin Counties.
Please see the attached file that breaks down the budget for Humboldt and Marin Counties for the LGC and each of its subcontractors. Please note that the overall budget for the REA proposal assumed some economies of scale involving the development of the REA structures and some of the later-stage activities. If fewer than three REAs are funded, some of these economies may not be achievable, and some costs may be higher for each REA that is funded.
2. A description of any other sources of funding the LGC has secured or may secure for this program.
If this project is selected for CPUC funding, every participating community will be contributing staff and elected official time to the development and startup of their REA structures during Phase I. For example, a task force will be convened in each community to prepare a written REA agreement describing the powers and authorities of the REA, its roles, responsibilities, and area of service, and other essential matters. In addition, project team staff will be meeting with local government staff and elected officials throughout Phase I.
Beyond Phase I, this project proposes to develop mechanisms whereby each of the REAs will become self-sufficient after their initial start-up financial assistance during Phase II. These mechanisms may vary by community, but are expected to include reinvestment of energy dollars saved; grant funding from other government entities (such as the CEC, other State agencies , and the U.S. DOE) , and private sources identified by each REA; charges for services; and contributions from participating communities. As an example of the latter, we note that the Marin County Board of Supervisors has now moved to initiate the process to create an REA. A vote is expected in the next several weeks, and may include some seed funding from the County's own budget.
Respond via e-mail, by noon on Monday, March 18, 2002 to zap@cpuc.ca.gov.
Please let me know if you need anything else.

Karen Hamilton
701 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20004-2696Dear Ms. Hamilton:
This correspondence is with respect to GHPC program proposals to promote Geoexchange to PG&E and SCE Commercial and Educational Customers. We are requesting the following additional information regarding your proposal:
1. The GHPC proposal for PG&E territory briefly cites earlier involvement in implementing a geoexchange demonstration project with PG&E from 1997 to 2000. Please describe the results of this project, including total expenditures.
2. There is an error in the GHPC cost-effectiveness spreadsheets - you have omitted incremental measure cost per unit of geoexchange (measured in tons). Please revise your spreadsheet to include incremental measure cost per ton of installed geoexchange.
A response should be provided via e-mail, by noon on Monday, March 18, 2002. Please send your response to zap@cpuc.ca.gov. If you wish to mail a hard copy as well, please use the address listed in the above letterhead, Attn: Tim Drew.
Thanking you in advance for your prompt response,

Dear Mr. Drew:
This correspondence is in response to the California Public Utilities Commission's request for clarification of portions of the GHPC's proposals to promote geoexchange to SCE and PGE customers. These proposals were submitted by the GHPC on January 15, 2002 in response to the Commission's "2002-03 Energy Efficiency Program Selection R.01-08-028". The Commission has requested additional information in two areas. Our response follows, along with the Commission's verbatim questions.
1. The GHPC proposal for PG&E territory briefly cites earlier involvement in implementing a geoexchange demonstration project with PG&E from 1997 to 2000. Please describe the results of this project, including total expenditures.
The GHPC collaboration with the PG&E was known as the "Northern California Geoexchange Commercialization/Model Utility Program Demonstration". The project was also supported by the California Energy Commission and the EPA/DOE Energy Star Program. The goals of the demonstration project were to:
· Conduct public education to raise awareness and acceptance among residential and commercial customers;
· Identify geoexchange system and loop configurations that optimize cost-effectiveness in California's climatic and soil conditions; and
· Remove cost and infrastructure barriers to commercialization. This was accomplished through the use of then GHPC funded West Coast regional training center in Davis, California.
Over the course of the demonstration project, geoexchange systems were installed in 326 residential properties (in a few cases completion was pending). In addition, 198 tons of geoexchange were installed in commercial buildings as a result of this program. Targeted outreach successfully educated consumers in the region, as demonstrated by an awareness survey conducted in 2000. Demonstration of this technology in the PG&E service territory led the company to include geoexchange in its Residential Air Conditioning System Distributor Incentive Program launched in 2000.
Total project funding was $2,084,000, with PG&E contributing $1,560,000 and GHPC co-funding of $524,000. Final PG&E budget numbers were unavailable as a result of PG&E's bankruptcy, although the budgeted utility funding level represents a good approximation for expenditures. As of June 1999, program expenditures were: PG&E - $1,208,813, CEC - $376,512, and GHPC - $348,677. A second phase of the project was launched in 2000 with a budget of ~$728,000 of which GHPC share is ~$175,323. This phase involved a marketing campaign targeting the Sierra Foothills region, contractor & trade ally training, trade ally & consumer outreach, technical support, and a financial assistance program. Due to PG&E's bankruptcy filing, GHPC has not yet received the deliverables for this phase of the project.
An Adobe PDF copy of the executive summaries of the phase one final report and a comfort & satisfaction survey report are enclosed for your review.
2. There is an error in the GHPC cost-effectiveness spreadsheets - you have omitted incremental measure cost per unit of geoexchange (measured in tons). Please revise your spreadsheet to include incremental measure cost per ton of installed geoexchange.
GHPC prepared a revised cost effectiveness spreadsheet for PG&E and SCE with values inserted for the incremental cost per ton of geoexchange. These are provided as an attachment for your review. Both programs are still cost effective at the $1,500 per ton estimate that is used. Please bear in mind that this estimate is conservative for planning purposes. The real incremental cost may turns out to be considerably lower, particularly in commercial buildings. The GHPC has found many cases in which the incremental cost is as low as $300 per ton in cases where geoexchange is selected over HVAC systems that are more advanced than the minimum allowed by building code (e.g. comparing geoexchange to a 4-pipe or a VAV system vs. 2-pipe). Also, please keep in mind that the cost effectiveness sheets assume a 15 year life for geoexchange (ground source heat pumps). This underestimates the life for geoexchange. The American Society of Heating Refrigeration & Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) estimates the life of geoexchange at 19.8 years which is still a conservative estimate since replacement reports from the field show service life exceeding 22-23 years.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
