  1. Siemens Building Technologies Renewable Energy Laura Berland-ShaneSiemens Building TechnologiesOCBC Presentation July 14, 2009

  2. Agenda Introduction Laura Berland-shane, Alternative Energy BDM About Siemens Building Technologies, US Discussion on Renewable Technologies Case Study: Solar Financial Options Regions for Best Opportunity Questions

  3. How we help our customers HVAC Security SiemensBuilding Technologies BuildingAutomation Energy &Environmental Fire Safety

  4. About Siemens Building Technologies, United States We improve facilities by making them comfortable, safe and secure, and less costly to operate National Leadership – Local Presence Customer Satisfaction is our core value

  5. Siemens Building Technologies U.S. Siemens Building Technologies U.S. HQ Buffalo Grove, IL 7.4 1.8 100 45 Employees (thousands) Sales (billions of US$) Locations Customers (thousands)

  6. Siemens Qualifications • Siemens and Energy • Over 275 energy professionals nationally • Over 2 Billion dollars in guaranteed energy savings for projects implemented since 1995 • Over 6,000 energy related patents • Thousands of energy audits and LEED assessments performed annually throughout US • Global Presence

  7. What We Offer: Innovation, Efficiency, Sustainability The Challenges: Our Answers: • Clean Energy Generation • Water Filtration/Reclamation • Green Buildings • Emissions Control • Output Efficiency • Energy Star Lighting • Waste to Energy • Energy Management Consulting • Intelligent Traffic Systems • Mobility Communications • Hybrids/Green Diesel • Research/Modeling Energy Supply Saving Resources Clean Air Mobility Fresh Water

  8. Renewable Energy: Project Types • Solar • Wind • Biomass • Landfill Gas • Digester Gas • Waste-to- • Energy

  9. Solar Electric Power • Recognizable environmental commitment/reduces carbon footprint • Uses local resources, reduces demand for imported fossil fuels (NG, Oil) • Solar panels have a 25-year warranty, 35+ year life • Solar power provides peak power, offsets most expensive electricity • Warranties backed by substantial companies, e.g. BP, Shell, Sharp, Kyocera • Low maintenance (~1% total project cost/yr) • Available in various configurations (rooftop, parking canopy, ground mount)

  10. Solar Power Rule of thumb: 1MW solar power needs 80,000 square feet of roof space Technology improvements – thin film, increased panel efficiency, storage Project costs continue to decline

  11. Solar Economic Incentives Federal tax incentives (30% now avail as a grant per ARRA) 5 Year MACRS accelerated depreciation available + 50% Bonus Depreciation (ARRA) California Solar Initiative SoCal Ed step 5 at 0.15/kwh Some examples of Municipal utility rebates available Anaheim: $2.80/watt AC or $.39/kwh LA DWP: upfront 20yr payment $.11- $.14/kwh.(Equiv. of $4.50/watt AC) Glendale: 4 year PBI $.49/kwh Pasadena: 5 year PBI ($.553 - $.632/kwh) Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) As a tax-exempt institution, you can not monetize most incentives …unless you go with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

  12. Financial Options for Solar-Tax Exempt Entity

  13. Benefits of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) • Allows tax-exempt institutions to monetize tax credits and depreciation • Green power for less cost than “brown power” • Fixed price hedge against significant utility cost increases • All the benefits of solar power without the hassles of ownership • No capital required • No complicated rebates and tax credits to manage • No maintenance and repair responsibilities • Highly visible solar project drives green marketing • Solar power reduces fuel price volatility impact on electric costs

  14. PPA Model Manufacturer& Installer Equipment, installation, & warranties • Host Customer Project Developer SIEMENS • Receives revenue from sale of panels, inverters • Provides warranties for equipment and performance On-site solar PV system • Purchases electricity services at a fixed price schedule • Provides legal access to facility • No capital requirement Sales and O&M revenues • Arranges financing, system design and construction 15-20 Solar Services Agreement Financing Investor • Receives low risk ROI from electricity sales, state & federal incentives • Provides capital and owns equipment Solar Services

  15. 1.16 MW Solar PV Project

  16. Case Study: Solar Energy Installation Siemens Transportation Services Sacramento, CA • Key Challenges • Need for additional parking to accommodate growth • Support corporate-wide sustainability initiatives • Address need for greater predictability in energy pricing • Solution • 180 new parking stalls • Expedited permitting process with solar component • 1 MW solar project; over 5,000 panels, supplying ~50% of building load • Weekend generation sold back to electricity grid • Prevents over 700 tons of CO2 annually

  17. Siemens/ Shaw Waste to SteamPlant

  18. Carpet and wood to energy • Project has been completely operational for 2 years on July 1 • 10,000 tpy of both carpet edge trim and wood waste are shredded and gasified to produce 50,000 pph of steam • Carpet plant has the lowest energy cost of all Shaw carpet plants • Two people per shift operate and provide day to day maintenance • Plant has 85% uptime • Plant utilizes almost 80% of waste
