  2. Overview • Introduction to CCI; Outdoor Lighting Program • Retrofit Opportunity • Example Street Lighting Deployments • Anchorage • Los Angeles • Common Obstacles • Retrofit Roadmap

  3. The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) Introduction • Mission • Make a difference in the fight against climate change in practical, measurable, and significant ways. • Approach • Generate Political Will • Convene Stakeholders • Stimulate Markets • Remove Barriers to Scale-up • Organize Partners • Mobilize Resources • Philosophy • Think Big • Move Quickly • Use Markets • Create Partnerships • Get Results 3

  4. CCI Strategic Partnerships C40 Climate Leadership Group U.S. Conference of Mayors U.S. Green Building Council Introduction • American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment • Technical Partnerships • Corporate Partnerships 4

  5. CCI Outdoor Lighting Program: Two Focus Areas Introduction Advanced Public Lighting Stimulate the market for advanced, energy- efficient public lighting equipment among cities around the world • Improve Quality of Outdoor Lighting Infrastructure • Reduce System Energy & Maintenance Costs • Lower GHG emissions LED Traffic Signals Accelerate the conversion of traffic signals from incandescent or halogen to LED 5

  6. Services to Cities • Technical Assistance • Financial Advisory • Project Assistance Introduction • Cost justification – ROI, TCO • Energy & GHG impact analyses • Technology and market insight • Product specifications • Cost-effective • Meaningful • Measurable • Project finance advisory services • Vendor introductions • Stakeholder engagement • Stakeholder coordination • Project coordination 6

  7. Street Lights: Energy Use & Emissions 1.3% of all end-use electricity in the EU251 .9% of all end-use electricity in the USA2 66 TWh and 36 MT CO2e in Europe & USA3 Up to 37% of a municipality’s greenhouse gas emissions4 Outdoor Lighting Program • P. Van Tichelen, “Final Report Lot 9: Public Street Lighting,” 2007. • Navigant Consulting, “National Lighting Inventory and Energy Consumption Estimate,” 2002. • Assuming EU 2007 emission factor of 0.410 kg CO2/kWh (Eurelectric 2007 – PRIMES Model), and U.S. emission factor of 0.718 kg CO2/kWh (US EPA – eGRID2007 Model). • City of Boston Climate Action Plan, “2005 Boston Greenhouse Gas Inventories,” January 2008. Australian Greenhouse Office in the Department of the Environment and Heritage. “Public Lighting in Australia,” 2005. Grow, Robert T. “Energy-Efficient Streetlights — Potential for Reducing Greater Washington’s Carbon Footprint,” 2008. 7

  8. OutdoorLighting Program The Retrofit Opportunity Near-Term Benefits • Reduced energy bills • Avoided greenhouse gas emissions • Reduced maintenance costs • Decreased light pollution • Enhanced visibility and performance • Enablers • Emerging technologies • LED • Induction • Control Systems • Competitive financing • Catalysts • Rising energy prices • Climate change goals

  9. Potential for 35-70% Energy Savings Outdoor Lighting Program • Lower energy costs • 35-60% savings vs. high-pressure sodium vapor fixtures • 70% savings vs. mercury vapor fixtures • 10-20% additional savings with controls • Lower maintenance costs • Luminaire life expectancies significantly longer • Integrated system controls help optimize maintenance delivery • Reduced GHG emissions • For a city with 150,000 streetlights, potential to avoid >40,000 tons of CO2e/year 9

  10. Advanced Street Lighting Deployments Outdoor Lighting Program Sharing best practices: leverage other cities’ project experience 10

  11. Anchorage LED Retrofit Program Outdoor Lighting Program • Total Street Lights: 16,500 • Fixture Wattages (HPS) • 150W — Residential • 250W — Collector Roadway • 400W — Arterial Roadway

  12. Anchorage LED Retrofit Program: Phase I Outdoor Lighting Program • Phase I Retrofit • 4,200 150W and 250W HPS Fixtures • Phase I Key Figures

  13. Resident Survey of New Fixtures Outdoor Lighting Program • Two Resident Surveys: March and December 2008 • 130 male and female residents ages 17-71 • Tested 2 kinds of white light technology • Also tested dimming systems / centralized control Residents overwhelmingly approved white light over existing high-pressure sodium system

  14. Los Angeles LED Retrofit Program • Announced February 16, 2009 • 98% of fixtures to be retrofitted will be HPS • City will tender in small, discrete increments to allow for technology innovation • Largest LED retrofit project ever undertaken Photos courtesy of the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting – Before and After shots of 6th Street Bridge LED Retrofit on 8/25/09.

  15. Los Angeles LED Retrofit Program Outdoor Lighting Program • Replacement of 140,000 city street light fixtures with LED fixtures and installation of remote monitoring system. 15

  16. Obstacles Particular To Street Lighting Projects Outdoor Lighting Program • Concerns about efficacy of new technology • Limited budget for large projects • Standards do not fully capture benefits of new technology 16

  17. Retrofit Roadmap Commit to goals, timeline, and necessary staff resources Define High-Level Project Goals Evaluate existing equipment and define opportunities for system improvement Conduct System Audit Review projects that have tested and deployed these technologies Select replacement technologies Include objective and subjective evaluations *Optional, if no other tests are relevant. *Plan and deploy a small scale pilot test Conduct assessment of local finance options available to your municipality or utility Conduct detailed economic analysis Analyze various proposals for financing and realizing a retrofit Craft business case for full-scale implementation Generate final requirements, purchasing specifications, and finalize finance plan Navigate local approvals process Outdoor Lighting Program 17
