  1. Intelligent Efficiency: The Next Generation of Energy Efficiency National Summit on Integrating Energy Efficiency & Smart Grid Washington, D.C. October 15th, 2013 Ethan A. Rogers Senior Program Manager, Industry American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy

  2. American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) ACEEE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that acts as a catalyst to advance energy efficiency policies, programs, technologies, investments & behaviors. 50 staff in DC, DE, MI, WA & WI Focus on end-use efficiency in industry, buildings, utilities & transportation Other research in economic analysis; behavior; national, state & local policy. Funding: Foundation Grants (52%) Contract Work & Gov. Grants (20%) Conferences and Publications (20%) Contributions and Other (8%)

  3. Overview • What is Intelligent Efficiency? • Benefits of Intelligent Efficiency • Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid • Energy savings potential

  4. The Technology behind Intelligent Efficiency • Evolution of energy efficiency • Efficient components • Simple control systems • Reactive control systems • Programmable control systems • Predictive control systems

  5. Building Automation: Current State • Problem • Multiple systems • Little or no connectivity • Potential for conflicting goals • No self-correcting capabilities

  6. Building Automation: Integrated • Integrated Solution • Energy visibility throughout • Security integration throughout • Ability to perform real-time modeling and optimize performance

  7. Facility Management: Closed Loop • Closed loop control for • real-time optimization • Energy savings • Productivity savings • Energy analysis • Track energy use • Identify and correct anomalies Source: Schneider Electric Source: http://www.donahuesteam.com

  8. Intelligent Efficiency Measures & Energy Efficiency Programs • Measurement & Verification • Compare current energy use against a baseline of similar environmental factors. • Benefits • Better data • More timely data • Automated communication of data

  9. Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid • Utility Information • Value of Energy • Demand Response Requests • Customer Information • Volume of Savings • Timing of Savings

  10. Economic Potential • Energy savings from “enabling” technologies • 12-22% (GeSI) • Savings from systems effects • 40-60% (ACEEE) • Efficiency and productivity create jobs • Direct vs. Induced • Internet job creation rate 2.6:1 (McKinsey)

  11. Conclusions • Intelligent efficiency can play a transformative role to scale-up energy efficiency • Systems thinking is central theme of Intelligent Efficiency, enabled by ICT, real-time information & simulation • Smart Grid could provide the connection between customer and utility systems • Significant energy savings potential warrants inclusion in energy efficiency resource plans • Potential to provide real-time M&V data which could enable programs to pay for savings (vs. equipment).

  12. Questions? • A Defining Framework for Intelligent Efficiency • By: Neal Elliott, Maggie Molina, and Dan Trombley • http://www.aceee.org/research-report/e125 • Contact: • Ethan Rogers • ACEEE • erogers@aceee.org • 202-507-4751
