Rosenfeld, Former Commissioner California Energy Commission.

11 Televisions Represent Significant Energy Use The residential energy consumption due to televisions rapidly increased from 3-4% in 1990s to 8-10% in Television energy will grow up to 18% by 2023 without regulations. The projected growth does not include the residential energy use by cable boxes, DVD players, internet boxes, Blue Ray, game consoles etc. 12

30 GLOBAL COOLING: making 100 m 2 (1000 ft 2 ) of gray roofing white offsets the emission of 10 t of CO

31 How much CO 2 equivalent is offset if we whiten all eligible urban flat roofs worldwide? (i/ii) Answer: 24 Gigatonnes (Gt) 2/3 of a year s worldwide emission Gigatonne = billion metric tons If implemented over 20 years (the life of a roof or a program) this is 1.2 Gt/year. 33

32 How much CO 2 equivalent is offset if we whiten all eligible urban flat roofs world-wide? (ii/ii) Offset is equivalent to taking 300 million cars off the road for 20 years. There are about 600 million passenger cars world wide, and they each emit 4 t CO 2 /year. 34

34 Progress in energy efficiency standards In 2005, California s Title 24 energy efficiency standards prescribed white surfaces for low sloped roofs on commercial buildings. In 2008, California prescribed cool colored surfaces for steep residential roofs in its 5 hottest climate zones. Arizona, Florida and Georgia followed. Other U.S. states & all countries with hot summers should follow. 36

35 Recent cool roof progress ( ) 2005 California Title 24 Flat roofs shall be white (15 out of 16 climate zones) EPA ENERGY STAR lists Cool Roof Materials 2010 June 1 st, 2010 Memo from U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu calls for all DOE Buildings to have white roofs, if cost-effective June 16 th, 2010 Marine Corp follows suit, Pentagon following slowly June 19 th, 2010 RetroFIT Philly announces winner of coolest block contest to white-coat black roofs of row houses Cool Cities launched see Spring 2011 US will launch, at G20 Energy Ministers meeting, a voluntary Cool Roofs initiative and may even offer technical assistance to developing countries who join early. 37

40 Three Necessary Components for Demand Response (The low-tech half of the smart grid; no Gee Whiz reliability) Advanced Metering Infrastructure--recorded hourly Digital meters with communication; readings available in near-real time Dynamic Tariffs Enable customers to be able to respond to hourly prices The structure of these tariffs is critically important as customers are hoping to reduce total energy costs Automated Response Technology at customer locations Enable residential and small commercial customers to respond to price automatically Larger customers with energy management systems linked to pricing signals over the internet or through other communication channels And, when coupled with energy efficiency programs and policies the result can be reduction in total consumption as well as peak period consumption 42

41 Critical Peak Pricing (CPP) with Time of Use (TOU) Direct customer savings comes mainly be response to TOU. Customer response to CPP is mainly civic pride but avoids utility investment and expensive peak infrastructure. Price (cents/kwh) CPP Price Signal 10x per year? Standard TOU Critical Peak Price Standard Rate Extraordinary Curtailment Signal, < once per year Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Prices are designed such that the average non-responder sees no bill change. 43

42 Key Results from Residential Pilot 12% average load reduction for CPP rate alone Up to 40% with rate + enabling tech Most participants preferred the pilot rates Average Residential Response to Critical Peak Pricing Should dynamic rates be offered to all customers? kw Fixed Incentive with Controllable Thermostat Control Group CPP Event Total TOU CPP-F CPP-V 69% 65% 73% 61% 22% 91% 30% 95% 20% 93% 26% 87% CPP with Controllable Thermostat Info Only 69% 17% 86% 0% % 0.0 Noon 2:30 7:30 Midnight Definitely Probably 44
