Objectives Welcome to our world

• Who is CEE?
• How does CEE work?
• What does CEE offer other industries?
• What has CEE done?
• What is CEE currently pursuing?

The World of the US and Canadian Efficiency
Program Industry

• North American EE Programs invest over 3 billion
  US annually in just energy efficiency
• CEEs US member program budgets represent more
  than 90 of total US ratepayer funds available
  and a similar percentage in Canada
• CEE members programs reach at least 50 of the
  US and Canadian populations
• The Efficiency Program Industry from across the
  US and Canada comes together to work at CEE

CEE Today-a Snapshot

• CEE is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization
• Funded by over 90 members in 30 states and 4
  provinces as well as both federal governments
• 2.2 million budget 75 from members (including
  NRCan,) 25 from EPA and DOE
• Governed by Board of Directors drawn only from
  members
• Develop and sponsor 13 CEE Initiatives
• Pursue new program opportunities
• 16 working Program Committees
• Staff of 20 headquartered in Boston

6
CEEs Simple Mission

• CEE works to advance energy efficiency for the
  benefit of the public
• by
• helping efficiency programs be more effective
• through
• enhanced communications and
• increased harmonization

7
Who can be a CEE member?

• Efficiency Program Administrators utilities and
  nonutilities with mandated programs
• Public Stakeholders - such as DOE national labs,
  state/provincial energy offices, government
  energy research agencies, efficiency
  organizations (regional and national)
• NO entities with private interests
• CEE needs to be unbiased and disinterested to
  maintain a level playing field for all firms who
  choose to meet our specifications of high
  efficiency

15
What has CEE done?
16
Leveraging Demand Pull increases availability of
high efficiency models

• Harmonization of High Efficiency Specifications
  across programs
• Speak to North American manufacturers with a
  louder, clearer voice on what efficiency programs
  are supporting
• Make it feasible for other industries to respond
• Make it easier for programs to promote high
  efficiency
• CEE Initiatives develop and promote
  specifications based on program consensus and
  industry vetting
• Programs voluntarily incorporate CEE specs in
  their program plans

Other Examples of Harmonization

• CEE Specifications of high efficiency for
• Residential HVAC
• Residential gas furnaces and air handlers
• Commercial rooftop HVAC
• Customer side transformers
• Commercial refrigeration
• Commercial lighting
• Working on
• Water heating
• Commercial kitchens including water efficiency
• Consumer electronics
• Servers and Data Centers
• Customer side transformers

HVAC Quality Installation

• Specification adopted by ACCA CEE
• ACCA now developing Verification Protocols
• Verification approaches and frequency
• Dispute resolution
• Verifier skill sets/characteristics
• Necessary administration and oversight

21
What does CEE offer other industries?
22
Benefits of working with the Efficiency Program
Industry

• Innovative Collective Program Approaches
• Technological/market advances
• Increasing the demand for high efficiency models
• Harmonizing program qualifying specifications
• A stronger ENERGY STAR Program
• Consensus recommendations on efficiency programs
  needs to ENERGY STAR builds greater program
  participation and support for the brand

23
Efficiency Industry Program Models

• Golden CarrotTM (SERP)
• Manufacturer Competition Winner Take All
• Pool Efficiency Program Funds
• Secure the Design, Manufacturer and Promotion of
  a New-to-the-Market Product (ex. Super-Efficient
  Refrigerator)
• Bulk Procurement (CEE/NYPA SEAR)
• Encourage Competition for New Markets or Market
  Share
• Potentially Alleviate Market Risk
• Attract Attention to Issue, Sponsors and Winner

24
Efficiency Industry Program Models

• Design Charrette (CEE/ALA/DOE Efficient Lighting)
• Inform Designers of Technical Capabilities
• Encourage Interaction between Designers and
  Technical Staff
• Emphasize Unique Properties of Technology
• Capture General Conclusions on New
  Applications/Uses
• Design Competition (Lighting for Tomorrow since
  02)
• Encourage Development and Production by pooling
  funds
• Attract Key Market Player Attention
• Prime the Sales and Distribution Pipeline

25
Ultimate Benefit of Aligning Industry Efforts for
Efficiency

• Industry to Industry Partnerships for advancing
  high efficiency
• Supporting whole industries interests in high
  efficiency
• Getting other industrys top management attention
  to strategic opportunities of high efficiency
• Tapping other whole industries considerable
  expertise, marketing, channels, relationships
  with program industrys funding and endorsement
  credibility
• Today
• Partnerships on air conditioning, lighting
  fixtures motors
• Talking with water heater manufacturers, HVAC
  contractors
• Engaged the commercial food service equipment
  manufacturers and specifiers and those here today
