  2. Integrated Demand Side Management • Helping customers to manage energy use through: • Energy efficiency • Demand response • California Solar Initiative • Climate Smart (carbon offset) • Continuous engagement of our customers: • Consistent dialogue to promote energy efficient technologies and behaviors • Contractors play a central role

  3. PG&E’s Whole House Program • Comprehensive home retrofits that will follow the residential energy efficiency loading order; addressing the building shell prior to adjusting mechanical systems. • Statewide goal: Achieve 20 percent energy savings in 130,000 homes by end of 2012.

  4. PG&E’s Whole House Program Models • Prescriptive • Focus on building shell • No diagnostic audit required • “On ramp” for home performance contractors • Whole House Performance • Requires diagnostic audit (HERS Phase II compliant) • Comprehensive scope of work • Larger incentives than prescriptive program

  5. Contractor Perspective • Program marketing collateral • Building science overview courses • Coordinated Workforce Education & Training efforts • Quality Assurance

  6. Customer Perspective • A single, comprehensive program offering – a clear line of sight between prescriptive and performance • Coordinated messages from PG&E, local government, and contractor • Benefits in the form of: • Increased comfort • Lower utility bills • A stronger sense of community • Energy savings • A customer rebate check from PG&E

  7. Proposed Incentive Structure • Prescriptive Whole House Retrofit: Basic Package • Shell measures • TBD ~ $1,000 customer incentive • Whole House Performance: Comprehensive Package • Comprehensive test-in and test-out • Shell measures + system upgrades • TBD ~ $3,500 customer incentive

  8. Government Initiatives • American Reinvestment and Recovery Act • State Energy Program funds • Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grants • AB-811 • AB-758 • Recovery Through Retrofit • HOME STAR

  9. WE&T • Specific workforce development efforts supporting prescriptive and performance programs include the following: • CEC/EDD: California Clean Energy Workforce Training Program • Other community college programs • Third party programs • IOU training offerings
