ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN CALIFORNIA
Santa Barbara Summit on Energy Efficiency UC Santa Barbara May 20th, 2009 Stanford, California
THE NEXT GENERATION Commissioner Dian M. Grueneich California Public Utilities Commission
THE CHALLENGE WE FACE While California EE efforts have contributed to stabilization of per capita emissions statewide, California’s long-term goals will require dramatically increased efforts and success.

REVISIONING ENERGY EFFICIENCY Need to ensure public purpose programs are highly effective and achieve California’s ambitious energy savings and GHG targets •
Move Beyond Short Term Savings and Increase the Yield of EE Savings Per Dollar Spent
•
Pursue Broader, Comprehensive Approaches to Realizing Efficiency Opportunities to Generate Deepseated, Durable Savings
•
End-to-End Planning and Broader Collaboration to bring about True Market Transformation

4 Commercial New Construction • All new commercial construction in California will be zero net energy by 2030.
Residential / Small Commercial HVAC • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry will be reshaped
Residential New Construction • All new residential construction in California will be zero net energy by 2020.
Low- Income
Energy Efficiency • All eligible lowincome homes will be energy7 efficient by 2020
RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY THEMES IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN •
Aggressiveness of California’s goals demands targeted R&D effort
•
Crucial need to identify new technologies and enhance existing technologies to accelerate their uptake and broaden their use.
•
Improved framework for coordination among current efforts – CEC-PIER, Utility ET programs, DOE, Universities, and Private Sector – Establish RD&D Coordinating Council committed to identifying research priorities, funding mechanisms, and coordinating structure to advance R&D throughout the state. – Need a framework more effective in shepherding technologies from concept to commercialization.

Goal
Goal Results
Refocus utility and Energy Commission energy efficiency research and technology support to create demand pull and set the research agenda for both incremental and game-changing energy efficiency technology innovations.
Ratepayer-funded R&D programs will explicitly support widely applicable wholebuilding improvement, lighting, and plug load solutions envisioned in this Plan and will be used to leverage other private and public funds for the deployment of new technologies.
Conduct targeted emerging technologies R&D to support the Big, Bold Energy Efficiency Strategies and integrated energy solutions goals.
Profound improvement in equipment efficiency as well as new building materials and designs aimed at achieving more efficiency from new buildings than technically feasible today, and necessary to achieve Zero Net Energy and hot/dry climate HVAC outcomes
