1 Intelligent Efficiency: National Summit on Integrating Energy Efficiency & Smart Grid Washington, D.C. October 15 th, 2013 Ethan A. Rogers Senior Program Manager, Industry American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy The Next Generation of Energy Efficiency

2 American Council for an Energy- Efficient Economy (ACEEE) ACEEE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that acts as a catalyst to advance energy efficiency policies, programs, technologies, investments & behaviors. 50 staff in DC, DE, MI, WA & WI Focus on end-use efficiency in industry, buildings, utilities & transportation Other research in economic analysis; behavior; national, state & local policy. Funding: ◦Foundation Grants (52%) ◦Contract Work & Gov. Grants (20%) ◦Conferences and Publications (20%) ◦Contributions and Other (8%)

3 Overview What is Intelligent Efficiency? Benefits of Intelligent Efficiency Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid Energy savings potential

4 The Technology behind Intelligent Efficiency Evolution of energy efficiency Efficient components Simple control systems Reactive control systems Programmable control systems Predictive control systems

5 Building Automation: Current State Problem Multiple systems Little or no connectivity Potential for conflicting goals No self-correcting capabilities

6 Building Automation: Integrated Integrated Solution Energy visibility throughout Security integration throughout Ability to perform real-time modeling and optimize performance

7 Facility Management: Closed Loop Closed loop control for real-time optimization Energy savings Productivity savings Energy analysis Track energy use Identify and correct anomalies Source: Schneider Electric Source: http://www.donahuesteam.comhttp://www.donahuesteam.com

8 Intelligent Efficiency Measures & Energy Efficiency Programs Measurement & Verification Compare current energy use against a baseline of similar environmental factors. Benefits Better data More timely data Automated communication of data

9 Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid Utility Information Value of Energy Demand Response Requests Customer Information Volume of Savings Timing of Savings

10 Economic Potential Energy savings from “enabling” technologies 12-22% (GeSI) Savings from systems effects 40-60% (ACEEE) Efficiency and productivity create jobs Direct vs. Induced Internet job creation rate 2.6:1 (McKinsey)

11 Conclusions Intelligent efficiency can play a transformative role to scale-up energy efficiency Systems thinking is central theme of Intelligent Efficiency, enabled by ICT, real-time information & simulation Smart Grid could provide the connection between customer and utility systems Significant energy savings potential warrants inclusion in energy efficiency resource plans Potential to provide real-time M&V data which could enable programs to pay for savings (vs. equipment).
