Making your facility more energy efficient will save you money in utility bills - and help the environment too. But making your building more energy efficient can require significant capital investment. How can you get the funds to make the changes you need to - especially if you're required to conform to new efficiency standards? With so many technology vendors knocking on your doors peddling their new products, how can you make an informed decision on how to move forward with the smartest, most proven retrofit projects? Get the answers - and learn about green jobs training programs - in this presentation from CrunchEnergy!

5. Agenda Introduction American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 Path of Recovery Funds from Federal Government to Local Level Marketers & Brokers Green Jobs Energy Audits Ways to Save Energy Conclusion Questions

6. Introduction During the current Administration there is a constant drum beat of 'green' jobs, jobs, jobs, and more jobs while addressing the consequences of violent climate change Over one US$1 trillion has been invested of tax payer money by the American government to support the domestic economy to reduce the loss of jobs while over 15,000,000 Americans remain jobless Violent weather events are projected to increase domestically and overseas The costs of fossil fuels will continue to increase and have a negative drag on American and global markets

7. Introduction In Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland Region over $313 million in Federal stimulus funds have been allocated for energy audits, energy efficiency retrofits, and weatherization projects among other green construction projects At last report from the Federal government less than eight percent [8%] of these funds have been allocated and directed to the intended purposes

8. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Four immediate goals: Create new jobs and save existing ones Spur economic activity and invest in long-term sustainable growth Reduce the dependence on fossil fuels while increasing alternative energy sources Foster unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending

9. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 The Recovery Act intends to achieve those goals by: Providing $288 billion in tax cuts and benefitsfor millions of working families and businesses Increasing federal funds for education and health care as well as entitlement programs (e.g., extending unemployment benefits) by $224 billion Making $275 billion available for federal contracts, grants and loans Requiring recipients of Recovery funds to report quarterly on how they are using the money

10. Path of Recovery Funds from the Federal Government to the Local Level Congress appropriates Recovery Act funds to federal agencies Federal agencies make funds available to state and local governments or directly to academia, businesses, and organizations Federal agencies also provide entitlements and tax credits covered by Recovery Act to create new ‘green’ jobs while saving more traditional ones

11. Path of Recovery Funds from the Federal Government to the Local Level State and local governments make Recovery funds available for contracts and grants to academia, businesses, and organizations. State agencies also administer Recovery funds for unemployment compensation As academia, businesses, and organizations receive funds directly from a federal agency these are expected to make new hires or save existing employees as needed for the project

26. The Green Jobs / Green New York Act (A8901 / S5888), which passed both the New York Assembly and Senate, could be a model for other states The legislation sets the goal of implementing energy efficient retrofits in one million buildings over the next five years and creating approximately 14,000 family-sustaining jobs Efficiency measures help combat climate change, produce cost savings across the economy, reduce pressures on the electrical grid and provide public health benefits Green Jobs

27. Green Jobs The program will be funded with revenue raised by the auction of carbon emission credits through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI , aka “Reggie“) The bill allocates $112 million from these auctions to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). These funds will be used to leverage private and federal investments

28. Green Jobs NYSERDA will establish a revolving loan program to provide up to $13,000 per residential customer to retrofit a home, and up to $26,000 to retrofit each qualifying business Target: Energy usage will be reduced by 30-40% In partnership with the NY Department of Labor, NYSERDA will also create workforce training programs throughout the state

29. Energy Audits Certified Energy Auditor “Whole Structure“ Assessment The assessment is an energy and safety evaluation of the home or business facility that includes a visual inspection of lighting, appliances, equipment, as well as performance testing of the ventilation and mechanical systems, building tightness, and insulation levels that will result in a scope of work outlining recommended energy efficiency improvements

30. Energy Audits An energy audit is the examination of your building’s energy usage, loss, heat gains, and the potential for the reduction in energy consumption Loss from waste Inefficiencies Bad conservation Aging appliances and equipment Faulty insulation and/or building materials Wear/age of the facility Potential for the production of alternative energy

31. Energy Audits Increasing your building’s energy efficiency can make it More comfortable More durable Reduce electric, gas, and heating oil expenses Reduce insurance costs Reduce maintenance costs Increase profit margins A healthier environment for staff/tenants Energy efficiency means doing more with less energy

32. Energy Audits Building's assessment report Opportunities for energy efficiency improvements Adding additional insulation to necessary areas, e.g. roof where 70% of the heat losses and gains occur in a building Sealing and insulating ductwork Estimated 95% of the duckwork is seperated, broken, or has no to inadequate insulation Reducing air leaks and drafts by air sealing around windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical penetrations Upgrading lighting by installing Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs while replacing old lighting fixtures

33. Energy Audits Building's assessment report Installing water saving devices such as faucet aerators Insulating hot water pipes and tanks Retrofit hot water heaters with high efficiency units Replacing existing hot water heaters with solar hot water heaters Retrofitting exit signs with LED or photo-luminescent signs Install occupancy sensors and controls on lighting and vending systems Utilization of Energy Star certified office, factory, and service equipment

46. Washington, D.C. Coalition for 'Green' Jobs Training: A National Model Program As noted above the Coalition is a collaborative effort comprised of well known local organizations, key leaders from a variety of backgrounds, City Council, and the United States Congress. These members all have the same goal – jobs creation for the District's high un-/underemployed at-risk citizens. In particular the focus is upon matching relevant job skills with direct placement opportunities in the 'green' construction jobs sectors on local and federal government projects. The initial goal is to identify, intake, test, train, and place some 500 youth (18 – 25 years of age), women in non-traditional work roles, and adult men to fill identified local 'green' jobs.
