Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Getting Startedgy gy g
• EECBG Eligible Activities for Biloxi’s Strategy:gy
– Completing the Energy Strategy (EECS)
– Public Building Audits
– Energy Efficiency Retrofits
– Building & Facilities Programs
– Transportation Programs
– Traffic Signals & Street Lighting
Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Completing the Work gy gy p g
How to get it done!
• 120 day clock – create an aggressive schedule
• “Don’t reinvent the wheel” – Chicago model
• Have your team in place with experienced advisorsadvisors
• Gather data and resources prior to beginning if possible – especially on establishing a baseline p p y gof energy consumption
Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Completing the Workgy gy p g
Communication with the Department of Energy (DOE)
• Electronic communication very importantvery important
• Be flexible with change
Be aware of Federal reporting requirements –reporting requirements regular activity sheets
Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Crossing the Finish Linegy gy g
Attachment D:
• Executive Summary of EECS
• Four Pages & Six Questions
• Goals, Implementation, Coordination, and Monitoring
Biloxi’s Attachment D is currently being reviewed by DOE
Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Crossing the Finish Linegy gy g
Emphasis on Timelines & Measureable Results
EECBG Performance Metrics:
1 E S d
Biloxi’s activities is in four phases:
1.Energy Saved
2.Renewable Energy Capacity Installed
3.GHG Emissions Reducedp
• Phase 1: EECS Preparation
• Phase 2: Building Audits/Retrofits
4.Funds Leveraged
5.Jobs Created / Saved
Phase 2: Building Audits/Retrofits
• Phase 3: Monitoring
• Phase 4: Expand Improvements p p
EECS to be completed within first 120 days
Phases 1-3 are to be completed in 24 months (End of 2011)Phases 1 3 are to be completed in 24 months (End of 2011)
Phase 4, transportation improvements, and regional utility coordination are ongoing
Biloxi Energy Strategy: Lessons Learnedgy gy
• Prepare ahead!
• Use Experienced Technical Advisors for Improved ResultsUse Experienced Technical Advisors for Improved Results
• Think of the EECS as a catalyst/beginning for more comprehensive sustainable planning
• Balance bigger systems solutions with small, no cost/low cost actions
