The Energy Management Program Began in 1980:

1
Program History

• The Energy Management Program Began in 1980
• 300 National Science Foundation Grant
• Training Residential Analysts and Solar Water
  Heating Installers.
• Closed in 1988 due to a decrease in employment
  opportunities
• Program staffed most of the residential auditor
  positions in Northwest public and private
  utilities.

2
Program History (cont.)

• Spring 1992 Lane Community College was invited by
  BPA to restart the Energy Management Program with
  a focus on
• Commercial Energy Analysis
• BPA provided start up funding at 200k / year
  for three years.
• Program hired two full-time faculty
• - Coordinator with teaching responsibilities
• - Full-time Classroom instruction

3
Program History (cont.)

• In 1995 the BPA grant was partially over.
  Program found partial, limited duration funding
  from a mix of partners.
• To conserve resources, one faculty was laid off.
  Program began using adjunct faculty.
• In 1997 the Utility support ended as did the
  funding from
• Lane CC (LCC began a 10 year negative budget
  slide in 1997 due to Measure 5) . The program
  was once again closed.

4
Program History (cont.)

• EMP Coordinator requested and received from the
  college
• permission to pursue outside funding with
  which to continue the
• program.
• Almost concurrently, the Northwest Energy
  Efficiency Alliance was
• forming with the intent to transform the
  energy efficiency market.
• EMP Coordinator applied for and received a NEEA
  contract (200k / year for three years,
  1997-2000) to create the Northwest Energy
  Education Institute.
• In 1998 EWEB redirected a recurring LCC grant of
  
• 120k / year to partially fund the Energy
  Program. Additional resources were necessary for
  the program to survive.

Energy Management Certification Testimonials
I have focused on the OM aspect of things since
boot camp. We have achieved great savings and
great success. These savings were not produced
by capital investment. It has been purely the
efforts of people directed to do the right thing.
These are some of the most significant
measures responsible for the savings. SOU has
decreased its natural gas consumption by 14 to
date. I expect that number to grow a bit more by
the end of the fiscal year. Electrical
consumption has decreased by 7. Again I expect
this to also increase by the end of June. The
current cost avoidance comparing to last years
operations is 331,258.19. The amount we are
projecting to be under our utilities budget for
this year and saving is 260,000.00. I am
proposing to reinvest 60,000.00 of our savings
into three separate ECM projects before the end
of the year. I am waiting to see how that flies.
Hopefully I will have some good news to report
on that at this years boot camp presentation.

learned in your course on a daily basis. You and
your subject matter experts gave me the base
knowledge and insight to take and steer a quality
EM program in the right direction. I even feel
that I am somewhat an expert in what we are
trying to pull together for our EM department and
maintenance. When my confidence level is high, I
feel that I can accomplish anything!! You and
Mike helped create this monster!! All the people
in the district have been great in their response
to the Energy Management program. Its all about
approach, timing, and appropriate communication.

Efficiency Professionals Round Two

• Proposal is to deliver the Energy Management
  Program to 10 Partner Community Colleges located
  in different Climates around the US. in rotation.
  Current committed Partners include
• Salt Lake City Community College
• American River Community College (Sacramento,
  Ca)
• Cascadia Community College (Bothell, Wa)

NSF Grant Preliminary Proposal Reviewer Comments
Lane CC has a very strong history in energy
management, and their capability in this area is
clearly demonstrated. A strong feature of this
proposal would be the potential to share this
expertise with a wider audience, benefiting
students on a national level.
The PI is highly qualified to conduct this
project and has been a leader in the field for
many years. Developing a model to disseminate
Lane Community College's Energy Management
technician training nationwide would address a
compelling and timely need for technician
education. I agree with the two external
reviewers and encourage the submission of a
formal proposal.

Need for Water Conservation Training
Certification
Future Programs

• The need for water conservation
• GAO states by 2013 at least 36 states will
  experience water shortage.
• Understanding ways to reduce, reuse or
  supplement water sources is essential most
  organizations do not have employees with adequate
  training (Jeff Sandberg, Water Conservation
  Program Coordinator, Portland Water Bureau,
  10/2/07).
• Combined water stressors include.
• The need for water conservation training
  certification
• Comprehensive standardized training is not yet
  available
• On-the-job training expensive time consuming
• Industry experts will be faculty ensuring quality
  curriculum
• Professional certification by PNWS-AWWA ensures
  skills up to par

24
Water Conservation Technology Degree Program

• This program will
• Provide businesses w/ students interns
  employees
• Prepare businesses utilities for baby boomers
  retirement
• Increase water efficiencies in workplace (e.g.
  closed-loop cycles)
• Decrease water, energy, sewer stormwater costs
• Decrease tax payer burden for increased
  infrastructure expenditures to meet added demand
• Decrease on-the-job training expenses
• Strengthen Oregons local economy while
  increasing local regional water security
• Decrease negative impacts on water bodies
  increase water available for watersheds fish
• Increase business sustainability triple-bottom
  line solutions
• Lessens demand on current sources

25
Resource Conservation Management Technician
Degree Option (fall 2009)

• First Year Energy Management Building Systems
  Courses
• Second Year will be a combination of existing
  courses from the Water Technician and
  Renewable Energy Programs plus newly created
  coursework in Recycling and other resource
  saving opportunities.
