Vetting process to reduce volume of

ideas to those with highest potential

and technical feasibility.

Ensure ideas are aligned with

corporate and regulatory

strategy and plans.

Ensure proof of concept, cost

effectiveness, and readiness for development.

Evaluate success, ensure preparation

for launch and determine no-go

or go-live.

Ensure launch success,

stabilization, close project and transfer to operations.

Periodically re-evaluate and

make retirement decisions.

Project Example – Electronic Refrigerant Injection Control (Ultra Low Charge Ammonia)

• Refrigerated space has one of the highest electric usage intensities in the commercial building sector

• Potential savings of 3.4 GWh & 4.7 MW in refrigerated warehouse applications

From this….

To this….


13

Project Example – Wastewater Treatment Plants & Oxygen Transfer Efficiency

• Integrating low-cost continuous monitoring approach for biochemical oxygen demand measurement allows for more precise aeration control

• Energy saving potential of 124,000 kWh/day/plant (10% of aeration energy usage)• Demand response opportunity of 5.6 MW assuming a 15% participation rate

*Emerging Markets & Technologies Program Funded

Project Example – Physical WaterTreatment for Cooling Towers

Key Potential Benefits• Energy & Demand Savings (3% to 5% est.)

Improved heat transfer efficiency from a reduction in cooling tower scale and biofilm formation

• Water Savings (and embedded energy savings) Lower make-up water usage Reuse blow-down water for other purposes, such as irrigation

ELECTRONIC REFRIGERANT INJECTION CONTROL Phase Available via Custom Program

Solution Code (s) RF-79158

Incentive Approach

A: Savings by Design - CustomB: Downstream Core - Custom

Incentive Amount $0.15 / kWh $150 / kW

Target Segment A: Refrigeration WarehouseB: Other Refrigeration

Annual kWh/Unit 3.02kWh/ft2

Annual kW/Unit .00375 (retrofit) and .0005 (new const.) kW/ft2

Product Description: The ERIC Package Ammonia system was developed to eliminate the central engine room, long piping runs and corresponding pressure drops, large ammonia charges and parasitic loads. Its control system can report energy usage, be optimized for peak energy reductions, and is demand response capable. This system uses Ammonia (NH3), a natural refrigerant with excellent performance characteristics.

Baseline: Base case is refrigerated space using conventional ammonia overfed flooded system.

Measure: The ERIC packaged roof top distributed refrigeration product uses ammonia in extremely low amounts and has wide applicability in the energy intensive medium to large refrigerated space market and other cold storage. Measure case is expected to result in: • Improved Energy Efficiency: Estimated 8-15% in CA refrigerated warehouses (ammonia)• Environmental Improvements: Significant reduction in ammonia charge.• Operational Cost Savings Other Considerations:• Ammonia has no or negligible Global Warming Potential, no Green House Gas issues, minimal flammability and toxicity issues, no federal, state or local emissions

regulations due to low volume required for this specific technology.

* Does not include Auto DR savings

Exterior LED Luminaire with Motion SensorPhase Launched Q2 2014

Solution Code (s) LT-40310

Incentive Approach Downstream Customized

Incentive Amount $ 0.08/kWh (expected)

Target Segment All non-residential exterior applications requiring dusk to dawn lighting

Annual kWh/Unit 657 – 1314 (per luminaire)

Annual kW/Unit Zero – Off peak measure

Product Description: LED Exterior Luminaire with Motion Sensor may encompass a range of exterior LED luminaires – direct mount, pole mount, wall mount etc. – with built in multi-level (high/low; high/low/off) capability due to fully integrated motion sensor (usually passive infrared).

Baseline: Existing High Intensity Discharge (HID) exterior luminaire (typically Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium). As installed, these luminaires are not designed to integrate with any type of motion activated settings.

Measure: This measure extends beyond the existing family of LED Exterior Luminaire Customized Incentives by providing additional allowance for the energy savings associated with active motion detection integrated within each luminaire.

Exterior LED Luminaire with Motion Sensor

Payback Calculations

The following calculations are based on “mid-range” estimates for a “typical” LED Exterior Luminaire under reasonable operating conditions. Due to variation in the types of Exterior HID Luminaires in the field (e.g. 150w, 175w, 320w, 400w) and a range of possible LED replacements based on customer requirements and preferences, there is no “exact” payback calculation.

The example below is based on a single luminaire replacement.*

Existing: 320 w HID Parking Lot LuminaireProposed: 150/75 w Bi-level LED Luminaire with integrated Motion SensorOperating Hours: Dusk to Dawn (12x7, 365 days per year)

* Most projects will involve replacement of multiple luminaires (50, 100, 200 etc.).
