Emerging Statement of Mission

• Scope decoupling economic development from
  energy consumption
• Residential energy consumption both electric
  and gas
• Spectrum of demand side issues conservation,
  efficiency, sustainability
• Fact, data focused, driver for achievement of per
  capita energy consumption reductions
• Collaboration to get/keep region on same page
• Forum for airing out issues, opportunities
• Place to achieve synchronized views and unified
  political voice
• Place for performing propriety integration work
  that overlaps the scopes, jurisdictions of the
  parties
• Leadership -- within the State, nationally
• Clearing house for information
• Current, committed, and potential future programs
• Source of status and performance data, starting
  at the neighborhood level
• Performance relative to others in region, across
  the state, nationally
• Education
• Public at large
• Workforce programming universities, community
  colleges

Road Map and TrackingMetropolitan Houston
Residual Energy Consumption

• Precedent setting, address-specific property data
  integration and analysis
• KWH consumption
• Demographics (age, ft2, market value, etc.)
• Benchmarking
• Historical and current consumption
• Theoretical potential for reductions
• Peak load
• Efficiency
• Insulation
• Upgrading of AC units
• Installation of double pane windows
• Installation of high performance lighting

Two Tier Approach to Prioritize Provide Focus
Tier I Superiority
Tier II Significant Player
Case 1 Superiority not yet clear
Case 2 Superiority exists or emerging elsewhere
Leverage exists or is intrinsic for global
leadership
Strategic Development
Aggressive Pursuit

• Research
• Innovation commercialization
• Economic development projects

Case 1 Within region Across State
Case 2 Strategic partnering with Emerging
superiority
Collaborative Processes (Bus, Govt, Universities)

• Business case development
• Problem scoping
• Infrastructure development (resources,
  relationships, programs)
• Performance, progress metrics
