Meeting called to order 10:10am by Cara Bautista-Rao Approval of September 8, 2014 SAC meeting minutes: Neal DeSnoo motioned to approve minutes, Michael Cass - second motion: Minutes approved without objection. Tim reviewed Administrators report. Summary of budget and expenditures through September 30, 2014. Shared status of quarterly goals. Neal asked about what the committee could expect in terms of savings for December and how EBEW performance compared to other Local Government Partnerships. Naila responded that EBEW is doing better (in terms of cost-effectiveness) than the majority of other partnerships but all partnerships are performing substantially below goal. Brendan asked about QuEST’s Portfolio Manager work with the city of Concord. Tim identified Justin Ezzle (last name spelled phonetically) at the current contact at the City but shared that Justin may not be aware that municipal usage data has been inputted in to Portfolio Manger. Naila provided an update on the contracting activity with EBEW Service Providers (DNVGL, CESC, 4CL, CCC). She has submitted all necessary paperwork to PG&E and is awaiting next steps/approval. There are no

outstanding issues with respect to contracting. We are on track to complete this task by January 2015. Brendan briefed the committee on the Strategic Energy Resource (SER) scoping process and reviewed the approved SER funding decisions (final SER budget provided in agenda packet). Derrick and Erin co-presented on the Mini-RCx initiative. Derrick reviewed the programmatic approach with technical detail including example measures, ideal SMB candidate, savings, costs, overall budget, goals, timeline and learning objectives. Erin presented the next steps which included customer & contractor recruitment and staff training. Derrick mentioned that the “data transfer” process still needed to be worked out with PG&E. But once the data is acquired it is very easy to ID opportunity with a utility bill and address (customer screening process). Erin mentioned that there is already one mechanical contractor on board and Derrick has strong relationships with at least two more. There was a question about Auto Demand Response and the possibility of including this capability in our program offering. Derrick responded that one of the thermostats that QuEST has worked with has the capability and that they are interested in exploring implementation of Auto-DR. Neal asked how realistic it is to eventually make this program self-sustaining in order to get away from being “hostage to the incentive.” Derrick spoke about the work that LBNL is doing to “level the playing field” in the realm of build controls technologies. LBNL is working on “open source” technology that will allow greater “horizontal integration” across building systems (e.g. security, energy management) and reduce the current reliance building operator have on “vertically integrated” (sometimes “black box”) technologies. The other main concern/need for this model to be successful is the presence of an Ethernet connection, involving consideration of cost and security issues. Brendan explained the term BOA/CBOA - a spreadsheet tool used to calculate RCx measure savings. He asked if cities were welcomed to ID potential candidates in their jurisdictions for participation in this initiative – Erin responded “by all means”, we highly encourage cities to refer their businesses. Rachel asked about the payback period and if it would be under one year. And given that southern CA has higher demand charges (making these projects possibly more financially attractive down south) - would East Bay projects have a less attractive payback period. Derrick responded by saying that there is

Page 4: SAC Agenda Packet February 13 2015

plenty of opportunity and highlighted the need to focus on daily usage, cutting out the HVAC usage during unoccupied hours. Neal mentioned the potential for savings in the realm of ventilation control – specifically siting CO sensors as a possible measure. Brendan presented on Municipal Capacity Building supported with a handout of possible capacity building pathways. He shared that the 4 co-chairs all leaned toward a solution that would provide highly skilled technical assistance (TA) to local governments. Brendan admitted that he was concerned about the redundancy of this possible solution in the context of the existing TA that MIT offers. Neal shared that the two financing options (direct grants or OBF bridge funding were not true “capacity building” solutions. Dan shared that the diversity of municipal needs makes it challenging to answer the question of “how best to spend this money.” In Fremont – “no external resource would have make our project move any faster”, Neal replied “ but it could make it better” – Dan agreed. Conversation shifted toward the discussion of creating a “blanket contract” that cities could use to put together comprehensive energy efficiency plans/projects (possible ESCO, but not necessarily). Brendan presented the scopes of work for the collection of smaller SER initiatives to ensure that the committee understood the expected impact of individual SER initiatives. He included a brief explanation of the following SOWs: 4CL, StopWaste, Smart Solar, CYES, T24 Permit Streamlining, SAC Stipends. Erin Fisher presented on the SER initiative: “Your Energy Manager.” This initiative serves larger SMB customers, or multi-unit property managers with comprehensive energy and water efficiency consulting services. The goal is to “go deeper” in terms of EE and water savings, create lasting customer relationships and inspire greater action, above and beyond the expectations of EBEW’s traditional SMB offering. Brendan posed this question: “Imagine that we are here meeting at the same table a year from now, how would you describe what has occurred in this program? Erin responded by mentioning full participation, demonstrated ability to deliver on customer needs, the creation of a “deeper/stronger” customer relationship, gaining high levels of customer feedback and creating a model that is “self-sustaining” in terms of project financials.

Page 5: SAC Agenda Packet February 13 2015

Neal presented on the EM&V SER initiative. We have $70,000 to allocate to this study. Brendan provided a draft project plan that described the various possibilities of an EM&V study. Evaluations are categorized into three types: Impact, Process, & Market. Neal recommended that EBEW utilize the Impact evaluation approach as the deliverables from this evaluation are best aligned with current EBEW needs. The objective of the impact evaluation is to determine if a program (or portfolio of programs) met its stated goal. Impact evaluations are often heavily qualitative. Neal shared highlighted the most important EBEW-specific objectives as follows: Obtaining an independent analysis of the effectiveness of our partnership, measuring well against CPUC evaluation criteria while defining our own cost-effectiveness metrics that we want to use, track and implement in the future. Adam wanted clarification on the “risk analysis” objective – Neal and Brendan responded that this objective attempts to address risk generally – what risks do we face? Adam made the point that there are “internal” and “external” risks and that we should be aware of what we are specifically asking the evaluator to do when accessing risk. Brendan reviewed a few of the (high level) outstanding questions that might be answered by the study, as well as the scoping process and deliverables. He also mentioned the importance in aligning this effort with PG&E and California long-term goals. Adam, Dan, Neal, and Brendan will form the EM&V working group to continue to flesh this plan out and initiate implementation of the initiative. Cara and Rachel will be kept informed. The last third of the meeting consisted of an open discussion about EBEW partnership priorities. Brendan opened the floor to “any and all” comments from lessons learned to big bold goals for the future. Brendan updated the group on the incentive structure work he has been developing and presenting to other Government Partners and the PG&E EE team. He described a structure that rewarded customers for their engagement. Customers could earn an additional 5 cents per kWh if they completed the “engagement checklist.” This list would be composed of the items or tasks that delivered the most valuable information or impact to the partnership. Tasks include but are not limited to: online surveys, enrollment in My Energy, offering referrals, participation in pilot programs, submission of statements/material to support case studies, and other information or impact-

Page 6: SAC Agenda Packet February 13 2015

rich activities. The goal is to inspire implementation with by offer the choice to substantially increase the project incentive, while simultaneously developing a deeper relationship, gaining vital market knowledge and better understanding customer behavior. Brendan and Naila are meeting with Leif Christiansen to discuss next steps – specifically how we might test out this approach in 2015. Derrick offered insight gained from QuEST’s experience developing Climate Action Plans for East Bay cities. He described the shift between Codes & Standards and utility programs. His comments involved an awareness of the shifting landscape of energy efficiency. There were questions about how this would affect EBEW core programming. Jodi shared an interested to better understand the pathway of identifying and including emerging technologies into our 2016 portfolio. Specifically – how can we produce white papers and who would be the lead on this effort? Rising Sun is happy to pilot new measures. Brendan and Naila offered to connect with the ET team at PG&E. General EBEW marketing was also discussed. There is an interest to strengthen the EBEW brand and produce more partnership content to share throughout the two counties. There was a suggestion to increase “standard and regular” marketing pieces. Specific ideas – to produce press releases on various efforts and strengthen relationships with print, TV media, bloggers and local NGOs. Outreach targets include – local chamber of commerce, business districts and the real estate community (reach out to Hayward and Berkeley specifically to explore/build this connection). Brendan presented an idea that raises awareness among elected officials about the opportunities available thorough On-Bill Financing. He unfurled a giant paper check that would be used as a tool at council meetings to raise awareness. OBF offers $1M in funding for 10 year at 0% interest. SAC members suggested that it is not a one-size-fits all model. For example there are several cities that have already leveraged OBF. Other cities may not want to first work on the staff level to build projects before presenting to the city council. Brendan agreed that all activities related to this initiative would be coordinated directly with the EBEW point of contact in each city to ensure transparency, relevance and effectiveness. Rachel shared that its very important to be prepared with a step by step resource action plan in the event

Page 7: SAC Agenda Packet February 13 2015

that council members would like to take immediate action. Brendan agreed to prepare this plan. Michael Cass offered an idea to convene a 5th EBEW meeting each – one for Alameda County and one for Contra Costa County to discuss county specific issues. He feels that sometimes Alameda county issues are “much farther along” than the issues being discussed in CCC. This arrangement may build greater support in CCC specifically since the meeting would be more directly focused on relevant-issues. Brendan agree to consider how best to deliver on the intension of this suggestion. Brendan closed the meeting by soliciting “specific and actionable guidance” for his role as PM from the SAC. There were no verbal suggestions. Brendan welcomed feedback via email. He then reiterated the importance of engagement on our committee. Taking the “EBEW 120 Seconds of Engagement” survey is a great way to provide specific feedback to the Partnership Manager and the Committee as a whole. Brendan also suggested that the SAC leverage the peer relationships that exist between our member cities to encourage engagement. The meeting was adjourned at 12:30pm.

0.&Introduction&A. This document is the founding charter of the East Bay Energy Watch Strategic

Advisory Committee (SAC). The Strategic Advisory Committee was established in 2012 to act as the strategic steering committee for East Bay Energy Watch (EBEW) programming and services.

B. All programs and services of EBEW are guided by the Strategic Advisory

Committee (SAC), a charter-based steering committee that provides recommendations on EBEW operations to their Partnership Manager and to PG&E. The SAC is comprised of municipally appointed representatives of the local governments in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Each appointed member may serve on the committee as long as desired or until replaced by a new appointment from the same jurisdiction. Appointment ends when an appointed member leaves their municipal jurisdiction. Only appointed members of the SAC are eligible to cast an official vote on formal committee decisions. Each municipality is given one vote. Every two years the SAC elects a Committee Co-Chair from both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

1.&Background&on&East&Bay&Energy&Watch&(EBEW)&A. The East Bay Energy Watch is a Local Government Partnership designated by

the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). EBEW represents collaboration between Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and local governments, non-profit and for-profit energy service providers in the East Bay dedicated to providing innovative energy efficiency solutions for residents and businesses in communities throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

B. EBEW was formed to meet three primary objectives:

I. Ensure that local governments throughout the EBEW territory are served by, and aware of, available energy efficiency programs and opportunities (offered through EBEW, PG&E and other parties).

II. Engage local governments and key partners in strategic planning related to design and implementation of programs, incentives, information campaigns and coordination to assist the EBEW territory in maximizing energy savings.

III. Identify and pursue opportunities to develop and implement new models of energy saving strategies to enable long term deep reductions in energy use and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.

C. To accomplish these objectives, EBEW provides information, fosters

coordination and strategic planning, and offers a unique set of programs aimed at reducing energy use within the EBEW territory.

consensus on every vote. E. An example of the voting protocol follows:

I. The Co-Chair may ask the committee, "Are you ready for a vote?" If no one objects, the Co-Chair proceeds to motion for a vote from the Committee. An appointed member of the Committee must second the motion. The Co-Chair first calls for the affirmative vote and then for the negative vote. In “putting the question” the chair should make perfectly clear what the question is that the Committee is to decide. If the question is on the adoption of a resolution, unless it has been read very recently, it should be read again. For example: "The question is on the adoption of the resolution [which the Co-Chair chair reads]; those in favor of the resolution say aye; those opposed say no. The ayes have it, and the resolution is adopted;" or, "The noes have it, and the resolution is lost."
