1. Orlando Science Center Introduction:Central Florida Energy Efficiency Alliance (CFEEA) MembershipandTaking Kilowatt Crackdown Challenge Debbie Deland, President dcdeland@att.net * 407 234-6408 www.netimpactorlando.org

2. CFEEAWhat’s it about? Mission Provide unified sustainability voice for organizations, local government, and utilities; committed to research, education, and implementation of environmentally and socially responsible energy and building management practices that conserve energy and natural resources. Underlying Vision, Overarching Goal Radically accelerate application of leading edge energy, water, and waste efficiency technologies, processes, best practices and behavior, including driving toward 100% Renewable Energy and Zero Waste for a sustainable CF. ‹#›

3. CFEEAThe Alliance ‹#› • All Central Florida governments, schools, universities, utilities, professional, trade, business and community associations • Focused first on momentum to reduce CF energy use 30% by 2012 • Founding Members committed by 10/14; form core management team and early committee resource • New Members sign on to support each challenge and participate on CFEEA committees • Members must have goals for each challenge • Businesses participate in CFEEA via associations &/or by committing to a Challenge • Defines, promotes and tracks Challenges to drive sustainability • Provides education and supports leading edge technology application • Works through the member organizations of the alliance to connect with CF business (residential to follow) and other CFEEA potential members

4. CFEEAWho is Supporting Now? … ? Founding Member Examples ‹#›

5. CFEEAInitial Focus and Funding ‹#› • Initial Focus • Large Central Florida Buildings • Business, Government, and School Why? Buildings contribute over 30% of GHG Emissions All the technology needed to decrease energy use 30% by 2012 is broadly available • Initial Funding • Some Federal ERA Funding through Department of Energy Program • Other Grants

6. Announcing CFEEA’s… Kilowatt Crackdown The first Central Florida Sustainability Challenge: CF Community-wide Energy Use Reduction Central Florida COMMUNITY CHALLENGE Central Florida will reduce energy use 30% by 2012! ‹#›

7. CFEEA 2010 Goals ‹#› CFEEA First Goals for Kilowatt Crackdown Challenge • 2,010 Central Florida Buildings In the Kilowatt Crackdown Challenge and Energy Star Portfolio Manager in 2010 • Participants achieve at least 10% energy use reduction over baseline by 6/30/2010 to qualify for first community awards

8. Kilowatt CrackdownRules ‹#› Building owners, managers must register online with CFEEA to take Challenge (by 6/30/10 to qualify for 2010 Awards) Building Based: each building must be entered as separate facility in Challenge and Energy Star Portfolio Manager (ESPM) Must use Energy Star Portfolio Manager guidelines for baseline Energy Star Portfolio Baseline must be submitted to CFEEA 12 months energy use data required for baseline and to get benchmark Participants must benchmark all fuels used to operate building Participants required to submit ESPM Statement of Performance from Portfolio Manager to verify improvement

9. ENERGY STAR PORTFOLIO MANAGER IS IMPORTANT When you start measuring energy, resource, water efficiency, immediate improvements become visible and action is taken Comparison to benchmark and Energy Star Portfolio Manager data enables energy efficiency improvement Shows unnecessary loss of money on energy everyday Enables meeting Kilowatt Crackdown commitment ‹#›

10. OSC Value from CFEEA • Position OSC as key CFEEA Member • Visible Sustainability Commitment • Learn and collaborate with others in Central FL ‹#›

11. OSC ValueKilowatt Crackdown • Position as Kilowatt Crackdown Leader, including pursuing EPA Energy Star Rating for OSC Building • Major contribution to community groundswell to reduce energy use across Central Florida • Free ongoing energy use online Tracking Tool provided by EPA • Free statistically valid, building energy efficiency use Benchmark • Energy Use Baseline for improvement plan, upgrade assessments • Opportunity to win CF Kilowatt Crackdown Awards • Free GHG emissions calculation; considered official measure for building 11

12. Other CFEEA/Kilowatt Crackdown Value for OSC • Create content for energy efficiency and sustainability learning • NIO can support with HD video, slide shows, weekly workshops • Provide visible, community leadership by promoting the Kilowatt Crackdown Challenge for all Central Florida • CFEEA will provide posters and brochure cards • Free training and support to build profile and load energy use utility bill data to Energy Star Portfolio Manager 12

13. OSC CFEEA Next Steps Check out info at CFEEA Web site • Join CFEEA Online at www.ocfl.net/cfeea committing to: • Setting a Goal for each CFEEA Challenge • Decide which CFEEA committee to support (suggest Marketing) • Work with CFEEA to develop plan for Kilowatt Crackdown promotion at the Science Center (assuming this is OSC contribution to Marketing subcommittee) and weekly workshops ‹#›

14. OSC Kilowatt Crackdown Next Steps • Take the Kilowatt Crackdown Challenge by entering some basic information on your building at www.ocfl.net/cfeea • Participate in free Energy Star Portfolio Webinars for training and/or use online training, (provided by EPA, www.energystar.gov) • Site has lots of helpful information and tools • Build profile for your building in Energy Star Portfolio Manager, including energy use data from utility bills • Involve employees to load data and/or request intern 14

15. Energy Efficiency ImprovementNext Steps • Engage employees by initiating energy efficiency improvement team: • Employee awareness • Inspiring behavior change • Potentially new energy use policies • Potential involvement in upgrades • Analyze Energy Star Portfolio benchmark or data • Update current energy efficiency improvement plan (new HVAC, Solar) with low hanging fruits from analysis 15

16. Later for Net Impact Orlando and OSC • Look at possible programming, Net Impact Orlando team can support for OSC 16
