Industrial Energy Efficiency as an Emission Reduction Approach
Activities EM&V
Energy Savings Approaches
• SEOs, program administrators, industrial end users, ESCOs generate energy savings from: – Training– Energy management– Metering– Technical assistance– Capital improvements
• Third-party verification of savings occurs thru Superior Energy Performance
• Accepted practices for operational and behavioral savings
• Forthcoming resources:
- Uniform Methods Project Protocols for Strategic Energy Management/Superior Energy Performance (Summer 2016)
- Uniform Methods Project Protocols for CHP (Summer 2016)
State Policy Options
• Could include: - Energy efficiency resource
standard (EERS)- Adoption of requirements or
favorable status for ISO50001 certification
Low Income Opportunities
• Possible if facility located in a low income community
Possible Leads
• State Energy Offices (SEOs)
• Utilities / Program Administrators
• Industrial End-Users

City-Led Efficiency as an Emission Reduction Approach
Activities EM&V
Energy Savings Approaches
• City offices, utility, or community-based organizations generate energy savings from: – Training, outreach, enforcement
of building efficiency policies– Outreach and technical assistance
for voluntary programs– Incentives to install energy
upgrades to municipal buildings, water / wastewater treatment facilities, streetlights
• Recent resources provide guidance,including:
- DOE Benchmarking & Transparency Policy and Program Impact Evaluation Handbook
- Assessment of Automated Measurement and Verification (M&V) Methods
- Federal Energy Management Program M&V Guidelines Version 4
State Policy Options
• Could include: - Enable cities to implement PACE- Require utilities to provide energy
data access for benchmarking- Create state-led city programming
(e.g., MA Green Communities)
Low Income Opportunities
• Building energy efficiency programs in low income neighborhoods
Possible Leads
• City energy or sustainability office
• City general services office
• Municipal utility
• Community-based organizations
E-Savings
• Aggregate city-wide (municipal, industrial, commercial, residential) electricity savings compared to starting year consumption
