Vision for Connecticuts Business Industrial
Energy Future

• CEEF evolves to support a sustainable and
  competitive business climate for Connecticuts
  business and industries based on bottom-line
  solutions for
• Economic competitiveness
• Environmental stewardship
• Energy security
• Social responsibility
• Vision seeks to build on strong history of
  accomplishments by CEEF

16
Key Themes of the Vision

• BHAGs Big Hairy Audacious Goals
• Focus on High Performance Buildings Processes
• Comprehensive Business Energy Solutions
• Energy Management as a core business value
  (energy behavior)

17
BHAGs - Bold and Meaningful Goals (20-30 or more)

• For energy efficiency, load management and
  on-site generation
• Achieving goals will
• Have an impact on the bottom line
• Improve energy productivity
• Provide many non-energy benefits
• Enhance Competitiveness
• Plenty of precedent in the business community

18
Examples of BHAGS Frito Lay

Examples of BHAGS - Dupont

• DuPonts Public Commitment on Energy
• We have committed to achieve the following by
  2010
• Hold total energy use flat versus a 1990
  baseline
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65 versus
  1990
• Supply 10 of total energy needs from renewable
  resources at a cost competitive with best
  available fossil derived alternatives
• These goals changed our approach to energy
  efficiency
• Efficient use of energy is now a strategic
  objective, not a tactic to cut costs in response
  to high prices

2. High Performance Buildings, Systems and
Industrial Processes

• A high performance building or facility
• uses less energy,
• provides superior indoor environmental quality,
• enhances worker productivity and well-being,
• improves the bottom lines of developers, owners
  and tenants.

4. Energy management a core business value.

• Its all about behavior and business culture
  change
• Personal, Operational, Facility, Corporate

Energy Management
Sustainability People, Production, Practices,
Products we believe market leadership
obligates environmental leadership a
commitment to sustainability across its products,
production, people and processes Production We
've reduced energy use by 40 since 1997, water
use by 53 since 1997 and air emissions by 58
we've held energy flat while doubling the size of
our business in this period... www.carrier.com

4. Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI)

• CEI is all about
• People
• Process
• Equipment

Implications for CEEF CI Programs

• Serious and long-term commitment
• Dramatically increased resources budget,
  staffing, infrastructuretrade allies ( 4xs?)
• Continuously incorporate new technologies,
  designs,business practices
• Integrate CTs many programs/initiatives
