DESCRIPTION
In her panel, 'Energy Efficiency: Greatest New Resource", Callahan looks at the chief forcing mechanisms - regulations and financial incentives - that have effectively accelerated the deployment of energy efficieny in the U.S. Her presentation covers the recent history of energy efficiency in U.S. policy, marked by President Obama's energy platform and FY2010 budget, as well as his recent overhaul of corporate average fuel economy standards. Callahan also examines the wealth of energy efficiency funding included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and the potential for carbon emissions reductions in the House of Representative's American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.

EE: The No-Cost Way to Reduce GHG Emissions
Principal Agent or “Split Incentives”- Home builder versus buyer
- Utility versus customer
Transaction Costs- Lack of information on life-cycle cost for products
and/or paybacks for upgrades
Lack of Investment in RD&D and EE Programs Public Policies Essential
The Challenge? Market Distortions
Five Tenants of Sound EE Public Policy
1)Research, development and deployment (RD&D)
2)Education and outreach
3)Incentives
4)Standards & Codes
5)Government “Leadership by Example”
A Big Year for Energy Efficiency in Public Policy

– Reduce electricity use 15% by 2020– Net-zero energy buildings by 2030– Overhaul federal appliance standards– By 2014, reduce energy use in new
federal buildings 45%; 25% in existing federal buildings
– Flip incentives for utilities– Invest in a “smart grid”– Weatherize 1 million homes/year– Investment incentives for “livable
cities”– Showed early commitment to large
green energy component in the economic recovery bill
President Obama: Energy Efficiency Advocate
2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (Stimulus Bill)
~ $75
Billion
Potential
for EE
ARRA: Built on the Five Pillars of Good Public Policy
RD&D – Smart Grid ($4.5 bill)– DOE RD&D ($2.25 billion)
Incentives– Extension of tax incentives
Codes & Standards– “Conditions” State funding on strong building codes
Education & Outreach– State Energy Star rebate programs ($300 million)
Government Leadership by Example– Federal “High-Performance Green Buildings” ($4.5 billion)
President Obama’s FY 2010 Budget: A+ in EE
108% Increase Over FY 2009 Request, including:
$10 million increase for the industrial sector $98 million increase in the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Building Technologies Program
–includes $10 million for building energy codes. $10 million for the Federal Energy Management Program$25 million increase for the State Energy Programincreases for DOE’s ENERGY STAR program, commercial buildings, residential buildings, R&D, and equipment standards.
A New Era for U.S. Fuel Economy Standards Obama Administration National Fuel Efficiency Program
Requires 35.5 mpg fleet-wide average fuel economy by 2016
•5% improvement annually (2012 – 2016)•Projected to save1.8 billion barrels of oil•Projected to reduce carbon emissions
equivalent to taking 177 million cars off the road for a year
Next Up – Federal Climate and/or Energy Legislation? House Energy and Commerce Reports “American
Clean Energy and Security Act” (ACES)
•Partisan vote – Signals Potential House Passage
•Two More House Committees to Consider
Senate EPW Committee Waits on House Action
Senate Energy Committee Working on Energy Legislation
Copenhagen December “Deadline” Looms
ACES:Cap is the crown jewel
85% of US GHG emissions covered- Could be higher
Covered emissions reduced 83% in 2050 Defend and protect the cap!
ACES: Goals for Energy Efficiency
Policies will no longer save more energy. Instead they will—
Reduce cost of meeting carbon cap by
Addressing market barriers, especially among energy end-users
ACES: EE Programs
Complementary EE policies Codes, standards, building labeling, electric efficiency
resource standards
Complementary Programs- EE in WM is 3-6% of allowance value
$81 to $167b over 2012-2050
- 12.5% of allowance value could get Allowance prices 10% lower Electric, nat gas and petrol prices 1-3% lower Electric and natural gas demand 3-7% lower
according to EPA analysis April 20
EE Funding through Allowance Allocations
Calculations based on allocations in the Waxman-Markey substitute amendment & total allowance values from EPA’s Preliminary Analysis of the Waxman-Markey discussion draft.
Includes SEED accounts, building codes, natural gas utilities, heating oil and propane consumers, and one eighth of Clean Energy Innovation Centers funding
Does not include noncompulsory utility funding for energy efficiency, revenues from the renewable electricity standard or separate authorizations.
Building Energy Codes: Development
National energy codes with aggressive energy savings targets:- 30% savings in 1 year
- 50% savings in 2014 (homes), 2015 (comm.)
- 5% more savings every 3 years ICC and ASHRAE get first
chance, with DOE help DOE sets if they don’t
24
Building Efficiency Labels EPA to establish model ratings and
labels- Actual performance and designed
performance ratings- Build up EIA surveys (CBECS, RECS) as
basis Implementation:
- EPA to work with states andlocal governments
Appliances and Lighting: New Standards
Lighting- Outdoor lighting- Portable light fixtures, GU-24, BR lamps
Other- Commercial furnaces- Hot food holding cabinets- Water coolers + dispensers- Electric spas + hot tubs
TV test procedure
Standards + Labels Process Standards process:
- Multiple metrics- Criteria for setting the standard level- Manufacturer sales reporting- Petitions for test procedures- Enforcement by states, state waiver criteria,
preemption of state codes
Labels- Carbon on Energy Guide label- Smart grid in Energy Star and Energy Guide- Reforms of Energy Star: rating system
Utilities: Efficiency and Renewable Electricity Standard
Utilities meet 20% of electric demand by 2020 from efficiency and renewables- Efficiency up to 5%, or up to 8% on request of
governor.
- Additional savings likely around 3% Estimated savings from efficiency
programs, not a sales limit. In-state trading through bilateral contracts Also to set peak demand reduction goals
Transportation Light duty vehicle emission standards Emission standards for trucks, trains,
ships, and airplanes
Require states to set emissions reduction goals and large MPOs to set transportation plans that meet them.
Authorizations Building energy code implementation REEP building retrofits Building labeling programs Manufactured home replacement “Best-in-class” appliance program Waste heat recovery grants Vehicle electrification and plug-in vehicle
programs SmartWay heavy duty vehicle program Clean Energy Innovation Centers Low Income energy efficiency program
Savings Estimates
Potential energy and carbon savings from key policies:
Year Energy Savings CO2 Savings
Building Codes 2030 3 Quads 200 MMT
Appliance Standards 2020 0.2 Quads 12 MMT
Electricity Standard 2020 1 Quad 58 MMT
And Moving Beyond…. Requirements for Deploying Energy Efficiency
Fully:
- Wise Investment- Effective Implementation of Public Policies- Sound Evaluation, Measurement & Verification- Rapid and Global Migration of Best Practices and
Best Policies
The Results?- Improved Economies Around the World- Enhanced Global Energy Security- A Better Environment
