Urban Water Use by CA Sector WATER Source: CUWCC
Water & Energy Use Relationship ENERGY • At Issue: • Ourregion is in an extended dry period and needs to conserve our precious water resources • Compounding the concern is the impact on electricity and natural gas use and its relationship to water use • Our Objectives: • An appreciation for thedirect link of water and energy use and associated environmental impacts • Opportunities to reduce water and energy use
Water & Energy Use Relationship ENERGY • According to the California Energy Commission, water treatment and transport represent: • 19% of California’s electricity consumption • 32% of California’s non-power-plant natural gas consumption • 88 million gallons per year of diesel fuel use • Note that the “energy” component represents a significant portion of water rates

Impacts from Water/Energy Use IMPACTS • Energy and water end-use creates the following environmental impacts: • Climate Change potential associated with greenhouse gases from fossil fuel power production and use • Air Pollution related to smog, acid rain, particulates and reduced views • Land Pollution with mining and operations for fuel extraction, power production, building dams/reservoirs • Water Pollution affiliated with fuel extraction and thermal cooling for power production, building dams/reservoirs
Global Warming Policy – California CLIMATE Global Warming Solutions Act (AB-32) Signed by Governor Schwarzenegger on Sept. 27, 2007 Caps California’s GHG emissions at 1990 levels by 2020 The first such GHG enforceable state-wide program in U.S.
Resource Management Initiatives CLIMATE • Various local, state, national, international initiatives that have stated climate change goals: • Climate Smart • Western Regional Climate Action Initiative • San Diego Regional Sustainability Partnership* • U.S. Green Building Council • Step It Up 2007 • 2010 Imperative • Architecture 2030 • Etc. *Co-Producer of today’s Energy/Water Panel
Saving Water Offers Multiple Benefits WATER • Preserves precious water resources • Lowers operational costs • Fosters economic development • Protects from impending water shortages • Reduces urban runoff minimizing pollution • Rapidly implemented compared to supply additions • Decreases energy consumption …which in turn
Saving Water Indirectly Saves Energy ENERGY • Saves consumers and businesses money • Helps with economic development • Changes the energy supply and demand balance and puts downward pressure on energy prices • Decreases reliance on energy imports • Lowers air, water and land impacts from mining, production, transmission and use of energy sources • Reduces carbon emissions, helping to temper gases that contribute to global climate change
Energy Use Reduction Model MODEL Demand Response Conservation Efficiency
Water Use Reduction Model MODEL Demand Response Conservation Efficiency
Overall Model for Decreased Impacts MODEL Water, Materials, Waste, Energy, Fuel, Pollution, CO2, CH4 • Reductions: • Development: • Smart Systems: • Initiatives: Green Building, Urban Infill, Design, Integration, Clean Clusters Automation, Smart Grids, Electricity Storage & Dispatch, Biomimicry Organizational, Government, Personal
Energy/Water Efficiency Opportunities EFFICIENCY Common areas of focus include: • Site planning, landscaping & hardscaping • Building envelope/shell (foundation, floors, walls, and roof) • Mechanical (HVAC&R, water heating, pumping) • Electrical (motors, transformers, etc.) • Lighting (indoor and outdoor) • Appliances • Office equipment, electronics & plug loads
Design Integration: Green Buildings GREEN BUILDING
Definition of Green Buildings GREEN BUILDING • “Green Building” is a process to create buildings and supporting infrastructure that… • Minimize the use of resources • Minimize harmful effects on the environment • Create healthier environments for people
Definition of Green Buildings GREEN BUILDING Green buildings commonly address opportunities in the following five categories: SUSTAINABLE SITES WATER EFFICIENCY ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE MATERIALS & RESOURCES INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Green Building Savings GREEN BUILDING
Incentive and Support Programs SUPPORT • Local, State and Federal • Education • Technical Assistance • Financial Incentives • Tax Rebates • Depreciation Allowances • Low-Interest Financing • Permit Fee Reductions • Mandates, Codes, Guidelines & Rating Systems • Etc.
