IOU CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR: |
PG&E |
BUDGET APPROVED |
$2,500,000 |
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This information-only program will provide technical assistance and information services to small to medium sized cities, counties, and special districts to complete energy efficiency projects in public facilities and to promote energy efficiency within their communities. Local governments in rural areas and those that have large hard-to-reach populations will be specifically targeted. Technical assistance will be offered to local governments in order to help them through the process of completing energy retrofits and developing energy efficiency policies and program initiatives.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
Because a similar program was approved specifically for Marin County, ABAG is directed to not conduct program activities in that county. The budget for this program was reduced from $2.8 million to $2,500,000. We require ABAG to submit a revised budget, with the majority of the reduction taken from the administrative costs, which were considered excessive, and no money taken from the direct implementation budget. We expect that the program should still be able to meet the proposed program goals, even with this reduced budget.
PROGRAM BUDGETS AND TARGETS:
Program goals include:
· 35 local governments enrolled, with at least 15 in hard-to-reach areas.
· 25 benchmarking reports completed, 15 audits applications submitted on behalf of local governments, and sustained technical assistance for 30 governments.
· 15 policy assessments completed, 12 policy initiative implementation packages, and policy adoption services for 5 local governments.

While the program is an information only program. The impact of this program is expected to increase the efficiency of approximately 17,280 homes by 6%, which equates to 2,245,571 kWh per year savings. This will also provide an estimated 1432.17 peak load savings due to the improved cooling efficiency in these homes.
10. California Building Performance Contractors Association
California Retrofit Home Performance Program, Phase 2 - 1398-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program is a Phase Two expansion of the 2002-03 Information-Only Residential Retrofit Whole House Program implemented by the California Building Performance Contractors Association. It targets the very large and mostly underserved existing home market. The program trains residential specialty contractors in "whole house contracting," in which all energy efficiency deficiencies (and related problems such as combustion safety, moisture, comfort and air contaminants) are identified through extensive testing and remedied, typically including both HVAC system equipment and building shell improvements. Contractors market the program to customers, with expected significant energy-savings from this information only effort.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
None
PROGRAM BUDGETS AND TARGETS:
Targets include: (1) Conduct 10 contractor training cycles; (2) Train at least 50 additional professionals in whole-house principles and diagnostics; (3) Of the contractors with personnel completing the technical training, train at least 40 contractors in whole-house business and marketing best practices; (4) Expand service from the 2002-03 program effort gradually to at least three other large urban areas in the San Joaquin Valley; (5) Develop public awareness and at least 300 new customer leads for the new contractors, and support contractor efforts in effective marketing of their own; (6) Demonstrate that the business trajectory of the existing and new 2004-05 program's trained contractors is likely to reach a goal of at least 5 million kWh and 100,000 therms in energy savings per year by the end of the 2004-05 program term; (7) As the number of contractors grows, establish a substantial dues-paying contractor membership base to defray costs of future technical support and quality assurance for those contractors.
11. Cal State University, Chico
Nonresidential Fenestration Certification Initiative (NFCI) -
1227-04; 1496-04; 1497-04; 1498-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is a two-year (2004-2005) information only codes and standards support project designed to facilitate and encourage conformance with the California Energy Commission (CEC) emergency Title 24 standards (of 2001 and 2005) through a comprehensive program of outreach, tailored trainings, and precision technical assistance efforts. Recent changes in Title 24 specify that site-built fenestration units in large commercial buildings (over 10,000 sq. ft) be certified and be National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) labeled. The purpose of this program is to bridge the current information gap that exists by identifying key actors in the nonresidential fenestration industry and in code enforcement agencies and provide them with meaningful information, training and technical assistance.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
None
PROGRAM BUDGETS AND TARGETS:
Budget: The overall budget for the four IOU service territories for this project is $944,422. Specific budgets for each of the utility service territories are: PG&E - $413,013; SCE - $308,859; SDG&E - $130,064; SCG - $92,486
Targets: This information program has set objectives of: (1) providing 212 on-site training sessions for manufacturers, contractors, and building officials; (2) presenting the program at 42 professional meetings with a goal of directly informing/impacting 1096 key actors in the market stream of up to 443 businesses; (3) increasing participation in the IOU "Savings By Design" Program by making over 200 project referrals; (4) increasing substantially the knowledge of market actors by demonstrating an average 25 percent improvement in scores on knowledge measurement and inventories administered before and after each training session; (5) reach 5000 industry participants with informational mailings
12. California Urban Water Conservation Council
Pre-rinse Spray Head Installation Program for the Food Service Industry - PHASE 2 -
1198-04, 1200-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is a continuation of a program that was approved by the Commission for the 2002-2003 program years. It is a direct-install incentive-based program replaces high water use pre-rinse spray valves with more efficient models at food service facilities: restaurants, cafeterias, institutional kitchens and food preparation companies. There will be no cost to the participants and water utilities throughout the state will contribute a portion of the funds for program implementation. This program targets hard-to-reach customer in both urban and rural settings.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
To ensure energy savings and encourage widespread use of the program, only spray valves using hot water may be replaced. In addition, a revised proposal will need to be submitted that includes specifications regarding the minimum gpm spray rinsers that are eligible for replacement, as the proposal does not provide this information, although assumptions were made for purposes of the cost effectiveness calculations.
In addition, in order to provide for increased equity between public purpose charge contributors, for 75% of sites serviced, no more than five (5) facilities under the same ownership may participate in this program, this is an increase from the limit of three that was imposed on the previous program. We will consider this as attaining the 75% hard to reach target listed in the table below. For the remaining 25% of sites, we will not impose the ownership limit, so long as the facilities served are for medium to large customers.
Only considering the materials and installation, the per unit cost of each unit is $90. It appears that there is profit for Honeywell rolled into both the marketing (at a per unit cost of $40) and the installation. This is not in accordance with the reporting requirements that have been established for program implementers. A revised proposal will be required that details the costs per the reporting requirements that all implementers are required to follow, and any profit sought by subcontractors will need to be withheld until a decision is made by the Commission regarding the performance award. Any budget amounts beyond the maximum allowable performance award shall be redirected toward product and installation costs for an increased number of spray heads.
PROGRAM BUDGETS AND TARGETS:
The following table is a summary of some of the key objectives of this program. The proposal should be consulted for a complete description of the program design and objectives.

13. Center for Irrigation Technology, California State University at Fresno Agricultural Pumping Efficiency - 1434-04, 1428-04, 1418-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is an incentive-based program that been run for many years by the program implementer under the auspices of a number of program administrators. Most recently the program was approved by the Commission through the local program solicitation for PY2002 and 2003. This program provides technical support and financial assistance in order to encourage the agricultural industry to adopt more energy efficient pumping systems, maintenance and operation. Incentives will be provided for equipment testing, repair and retrofitting.
The rebate is based on an estimate of the first year expected kwh savings at the rate of $.10/kwh. Rebate amounts will vary depending on the annual energy use of the pumping plant and in some cases, the actual improvement in pump efficiency. The proposal should be consulted for a full description of how the rebates will be calculated. The current average rebate for the currently operating program is $3,336. This represents about 26% of the average project cost. An average rebate of $3,350 was used in this proposal.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
This program was proposed for all four service territories. It is not approved for SDG&E's territory since the number of projects proposed for that area are very few. The budget for PG&E's territory has been reduced by over $4.5 million from that proposed. The other proposals are approved as proposed.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
RightLights is a multilingual program that installs comprehensive, turnkey lighting retrofits, as well as pre-rinse spray nozzles (food service only), and provides information-only resources on refrigeration, HVAC, and motors efficiency measures to nonresidential customers with less than 500 kW demand. The primary purpose of the program is to deliver persistent and sustainable energy savings at the lowest possible cost to a small business customer group that has historically been hard-to-reach and hence underserved by current programs.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
The initial proposal called for implementation of the effort in 11 counties. We reduce the scope of this effort to Santa Cruz and adjacent counties to allow for a paced ramp-up of the program over a larger service area. Based on Ecology Action comments that the program effort would likely be more effective in San Mateo county than in San Luis Obispo, we remove San Luis Obispo from the program target list and add San Mateo county. Ecology Action also argues in their comments that a need exists to further reduce electric and natural gas energy savings targets due to "economies of scale" benefits and target market benefits (natural gas) that have been reduced or lost based on the Commission's program modifications. In this decision, we accept the reduced savings figures. We base our acceptance, however, on Ecology Action of Santa Cruz's presentation to Energy Division - and acceptance by the Energy Division - in the revised program implementation plan (PIP) of adequate documentation of the need for reducing these savings. Without such document, we will expect Ecology Action to meet the original goals set by the Commission for this program activity. Program budgets and goals have been reduced by $8,014,969 to align with the reduction in program service area.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is an information program. It provides an easy-to-use energy design tool that shows California's residential customers the energy cost savings of remodel, repair and redesign decisions for their homes. This tool calculates indoor electric lighting levels for each hour of the year as a function of outdoor sunlight, window size, orientation, and room depth. All of this is used to calculate how the home's electric lighting load is reduced by daylight availability.
PROGRAM MODIFICATION:
The program requirement of 26 MB of disk space and 64 MB of RAM may be a hurdle to many potential participants, especially apartment dwellers. The program should consider whether computer requirement could be reduced or whether an Internet based-version of the model where nothing is downloaded for dial-up customers may be made available for all program participants.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is an informational program, targeting the `Hard-To-Reach' Chinese residential and non-residential consumers. The program elements consist of but not limited to, the following:
(1) Professionally produced 10-minute television drama with energy efficiency message as backdrop;
(2) Radio and newspaper campaign;
(3) Toll-free hotline number for energy efficiency audits and provide program and rebate information;
(4) In-language targeted energy efficiency workshops providing low and no cost energy efficiency information, State, utility, and 3rd party energy efficiency programs
(5) Participation in community events to create a community energy efficiency presence.
(6) Dedicated Chinese language energy efficiency website.
(7) Coordination with local schools to produce energy efficiency drama to be presented in community events.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
GES proposed this program as a statewide marketing and outreach program. With 80% of the Chinese population concentrated in the greater Los Angeles, Orange County area and the San Francisco Bay area, we believe that it would be most effective to deliver this program to areas with the highest concentration of Chinese-speaking customers. GES should file revised workbooks for each of the three utilities to reflect this change.
Additionally, we applaud GES' innovation to produce a 10-minute energy efficiency drama to be aired on Chinese television stations. However, we believe that program funding would be effectively spent on other program activities such as increase the number of energy efficiency workshops or community events.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program offers no cost energy audits and financial incentives for energy efficiency measures for residential single family homes. The program provides a free audit, performed by an independent contractor not affiliated with installation contractors. Upon completion of the audit and acceptance by customers the program will provide a financial incentive for various energy efficiency measures that the customer agrees to install in their home. The measures eligible for rebates under this program include ceiling and wall insulation, HVAC diagnostics, duct testing and sealing, whole house fans, programmable thermostats, faucet aerators, low flow shower heads, water heater pipe insulation, and CFL lamps.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
This program will need to coordinate closely with other residential incentive programs to ensure there is no double dipping. As well there will need to be strong quality control on measures that may have performed in the past on homes such as duct testing and sealing. This program is also expected to maintain the pre-specified budget incentive amounts to ensure that homes are receiving a balanced set of efficiency measures, and not just cream skimming on the cheapest ones.

1146-04, 1147-04, 1148-04, 1149-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is a statewide, local government program that will target housing authorities and the existing residential affordable housing building stock. The proposed program is based on the current CPUC-funded third-party program called "Efficient Affordable Housing," 0255-02. Heschong Mahone has proposed a number of design and implementation changes based upon their experience with the current program. The primary target of the energy efficiency direct incentives is affordable-qualified buildings, including those with at least 10% occupancy by Section 8 housing voucher tenants, Section 202-funded (and other HUD-financed) apartment buildings, and projects previously constructed or rehabilitated using Tax Credit and Bond financing. The targeted participants will have the following characteristics: multifamily buildings, renters, and a large percentage of the projects and housing authorities will be in rural areas. As a new requirement for this year's program, only projects within the jurisdictions of housing authorities that have adopted or are intending to adopt a second tier utility allowance schedule will be allowed to participate.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
None. This program is approved as proposed. There is no need for a revised proposal prior to contract signing.

Partnership for Energy Affordability in Multi-family Housing - 1211-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is a continuation of a program selected by the Commission for the PY2002 and 2003 funding cycle. It will be run by ICF Consulting, in conjunction with its partners, Non-Profit Housing of Northern California (NPH), the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), Strategic Energy Innovations (SEI), the California Coalition for Rural Housing (CCRH), GRID Alternatives and kW Engineering. The Partnership, branded as "Energy Action," promises to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of technical, financial and training services to developers, owners and managers of affordable multi-family housing in the Bay Area and targeted areas of the Central Valley. The program will offer both prescriptive and customized rebates and short-term financing to eliminate defined barriers to energy efficiency investment that ICF encountered during the 2002-2003 program.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
We eliminate the Public Housing Authority Two-tier Allowance program component as it appears to compete with the primary offering of the Heschong-Mahone (HMG) program (1146-04) that we are also approving for PG&E's service territory. ICF should redirect the $54,000 earmarked for that activity to its budget for measure incentives. ICF should make a special effort to coordinate its activities with those of HMG.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program will provide technical guidance and oversight, training and incentives for what has become known in the energy efficiency community as "retrocommissioning." Retrocommissioning entails the improvement and optimization of building mechanical equipment, lighting, and lighting and equipment controls. At the same time, optimization of how equipment operates and interacts within a given building, or on a system level, is an underlying objective of retrocommissioning projects. This program will develop retrocommissioning protocols, provide building operator and commissioning contractor trainings, and implement building operations tracking systems. The program will qualify and train commissioning providers and offer incentives for commissioning work that is undertaken by those providers who are selected and trained, and whose work is overseen by this program.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
This program was proposed as a statewide program and is being accepted only for SDG&E's service territory. As SDREO will be running a program that will be targeting governmental buildings in San Diego, this program should concentrate on commercial buildings, as the proposal seems to suggest it will.
It is not clear from the proposal that the intent is to require that commissioning providers complete the training provided by this program. All commissioning providers who participate in the program shall be required to complete the training that is detailed in the proposal, not only the orientation. It does not appear that training is currently scheduled often enough to accommodate this. Retrocommissioning Training should be provided after all program orientation sessions are made available. Program should not be recruiting additional commissioning providers if no training sessions will be available. The training and recruitment schedule will need to be adjusted accordingly and a revised proposal filed that includes that change.
In addition, when the revised proposal is filed, PECI will need to provide more specific details about how much cost sharing will be expected from the customers receiving services under this program. The full cost of the services rendered by the commission providers will also need to be disclosed to the administering IOU as supporting documentation with invoices.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This information-only program provides comprehensive energy efficiency educational services and trainings tailored to local industry and needs. This program will provide a local resource to complement statewide marketing, educational, and incentive-based programs and to provide energy efficiency information to hard-to-reach residential and non-residential customers in this remote and largely rural county. The Redwood Coast Energy Center, funded through this program, will also help local governments develop policies, ordinances, and incentives to encourage energy efficiency within the county.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
The requested budget is approved in its entirety. The Redwood Coast Energy Authority budgeted $92,138 for financial incentives for residential measures, which is not appropriate for this education and training program. We therefore require the Redwood Coast Energy Authority to reallocate the $92,138 to direct program implementation and provide a detailed breakdown, with a complete itemization in accordance with the various tasks and activities proposed under the program.
PROGRAM BUDGETS AND TARGETS:
Program goals include:
· Conduct at least 14 trainings sessions - four for the public sector, six for businesses, and four for residential customers.
· Have at least 75% of member agencies adopt energy efficiency policies.
· Conduct at least two Title 24 training sessions -- one for permitting officials and one for local industry stakeholders.
· Develop a two-tiered utility allowance and have it adopted by at least one local housing authority.

Small Nonresidential Energy Fitness Program - 1409-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program is a continuation of RHA's 2002-2003 program in the northern Sacramento Valley (Chico) area. The program provides direct installation of cost-effective energy conservation measures (lighting, thermostats) at no cost to the target customers. For the 2004-2005 program, RHA will also add air conditioning and tune up operation and maintenance measure to be piloted to owner-occupied businesses to test the programmatic and delivery effectiveness of this measure on 100 split-HVAC units. The Energy Fitness Program will qualify and enroll customers, conduct initial and in-depth energy audits, install cost-effective energy conservation measures, and produce a final Energy Fitness Report. Those who desire to install additional recommended measures will be assisted in finding qualified contractors, locating financing opportunities, and participation in other third-party and utility-sponsored energy programs.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
The program was proposed with a total budget of $2,966,283. We approve the program at a reduced budget of $2,000,000, which is comparable to the amount previously authorized in 2002-2003. We require RHA to submit a revised budget with supporting details showing how various cost items were derived. RHA should explain and provide support to the administrative and other labor costs shown in the budget worksheet (e.g., allocation rate and allocation base, if applicable). RHA should also provide breakdown for the financial incentives, installation costs, and incremental measure costs per business shown in the workbook. In addition, RHA should explain its use of a 9-year end-user life (EUL) value to the energy conservation measure package, even though it is comprised of several components such as CFLs, LED Exit Signs, T-8s and electronic ballasts, delamping, and other measures.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is a continuation of a program approved by the Commission for program years 2002 and 2003. The primary objective of this program is to plant 17,000 trees throughout San Diego County by the end of 2005. People for Trees (PFT) and cities throughout the County will assist SDREO in facilitating and supporting shade tree planting in residential neighborhoods and on school grounds throughout the entire county. The proposed shade tree program is designed to work primarily through San Diego based community and volunteer organizations such as People for Trees. The program seeks to educate residential customers about the energy saving benefits of trees and organize community tree plantings in large groups (100 per event- average) with a total goal of 17,000 trees over a two-year period. The basis as well as guidelines for this local shade tree program have been developed through analysis of similar programs implemented in other parts of the state including the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's (LADWP) Trees for a Green LA and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District's (SMUD) Sacramento Shade Tree Program. Program modifications have been made based on SDREO's experience with their 2002-2003 SDREO Cool Communities Shade Tree Program.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program is designed to run as a sixteen-month energy efficiency program in low-income, hard-to-reach areas of San Francisco. This two-year program will directly install occupancy sensors, vending misers, programmable thermostats, and other energy-saving items as needed depending on each individual case.
The program will also educate communities on energy efficiency options for homes and businesses. In the first year of operation, the program will conduct outreach efforts to targeted communities, including marketing energy efficiency programs offered by others (e.g., Pacific Gas and Electric Company), and will implement Power Co-op's "Energy Efficiency on Wheels," in which trained program staff will work targeted neighborhoods, in a manner that they characterize as "similar to an old-fashioned ice cream truck." The Energy Efficiency on Wheels program will directly serve participants' homes and businesses; as well as visit schools and events to distribute energy efficient items.
In the second year outreach and implementation efforts will continue, and replicable models will be developed for adoption by other communities.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
A revised proposal will need to be submitted that makes the following changes before a contract is entered by the administering IOU.
(1) It appears that this program will only be made available to Power Coop members. While it is acceptable for the implementer to target its initial marketing efforts at Coop members, otherwise eligible customers must be allowed to participate in the program.
(2) Not all of the energy savings assumptions are well-documented. An assumption that needs further documentation, and likely adjustment, is that power strips will be used to turn off equipment 70% of the time.
(3) In addition, labor rates appear to be loaded. These will need to be broken out according to the current reporting requirements.

Gas Only Multi-Family Program - South - 1338-04
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is a hardware program that will provide gas energy savings assistance for the hard-to-reach multifamily (MF) market category of those customers of Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) which are not located within the service area of an IOU electric company. The Gas-Only Multifamily Program will provide for comprehensive residential energy efficiency renovations and retrofits by offering cash incentives and services to apartment tenants and owner/operators for the installation of all energy efficiency measures that SoCalGas has determined in its recent filings to be cost-effective under its evaluation of this market. To assure that the program primarily benefits the tenants, property owners will be required to install all cost-effective gas savings "tenant" measures within the dwellings in order to receive any "common area" incentives.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
The budget for this program was cut from that proposed and a proportional adjustment was made to the therms savings goal. As was required when this program ran during PY2002 and 2003, no more than a combined total of 50% of expenditures on incentives may go toward the replacement of faucet aerators and showerheads. This revision along with specifications for the measures that will be installed as well as those that are eligible to be replaced must also be included in a revised proposal before the administering IOU is authorized to enter a contract for this program.
