Overview • What is Intelligent Efficiency? • Benefits of Intelligent Efficiency • Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid • Energy savings potential
The Technology behind Intelligent Efficiency • Evolution of energy efficiency • Efficient components • Simple control systems • Reactive control systems • Programmable control systems • Predictive control systems
Building Automation: Current State • Problem • Multiple systems • Little or no connectivity • Potential for conflicting goals • No self-correcting capabilities
Building Automation: Integrated • Integrated Solution • Energy visibility throughout • Security integration throughout • Ability to perform real-time modeling and optimize performance
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.com
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
Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid • Utility Information • Value of Energy • Demand Response Requests • Customer Information • Volume of Savings • Timing of Savings
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)
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).
