1 Local Government Commission SoCalGas Emerging Technologies Program Southern California Gas Company November 18, 2014

2 SoCalGas Emerging Technologies (ET) Program» Creates a pipeline of new Energy Efficiency (EE) measures through technology push and market pull.» Drivers: CPUC EE Program Decision California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan AB 32 Greenhouse Gas Reduction» Focus is on advanced natural gas end-use technologies» Annual Budget approximately $1.2MM» Partnering with the newly formed LADWP ET Programs 2

3 Definition of Emerging Technologies» Commercialized products or equipment» Innovative products of efficiency measures» Products in early adaptation stage; under utilized» New applications» New system and holistic approach 3

4 The EE Supply-Demand Chain» R&D ET EE C&S» ET ~ Consumer report services» Commercialized end use products» State CEC PIER Research» SCG RD&D» Other Research Org.: GRI/EPRI etc.» Innovators, Entrepreneurs» Manufacturers» Scan in AHR Expos & Tech Shows» ET is the pipeline for the EE rebate incentive measures» Codes & Standards 4

5 SoCalGas Challenges» SoCalGas is the only gas-only CA IOU» Largest gas savings target, but smallest ET budget PG&E SCG 2013 Gas target (MMTherms/yr) Total ET budget ($MM) » Forecasted lower gas prices mean longer payback times for measures» Limited number of end-uses in core markets 5

6 How Do We Work ET is working on ~ 40 current/planned projects: Technology Development Support Market & behavioral studies Regulatory support Business incubation support (i.e. TRIO) Technology Assessment Support Lab & field testing Customer usability testing Integrated measures testing Work paper collaboration Technology Implementation Support Scaled field installations Demonstration showcases 3 rd party solicitations (i.e. TRIP) Outreach & tools Market transformation: target underused measures in high-consuming end-uses» Shifting from single widget -based focus to holistic approach Integrated technology testing and demonstration showcasing 6

7 What Can We Do with Gov. Agencies» Demonstration & Showcase -Integrated Solutions Near ZNE buildings; exceeding T24 & LEED standards Collaboration with electric utilities Advanced water heating technologies Advanced space heating technologies Renewable solar thermal technologies Advanced combined heat & power (CHP) using natural gas Control technologies and behavioral strategies Design Review; Master Planning Advisement Working with builders in the area System approach deep retrofit for local government buildings Collaboration with Local Government Programs Referral to NGV refill stations 7

8 Integrated Technology Testing/Showcasing: Example Near-Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Projects 1 LINC Village at Beechwood: Deep retrofit, coordination w/cec PIER, EPRI, LINC, SCE, & City of Lancaster 2 HOA Community Center, the Resort, Playa Vista Micro-CHP, solar PV, high-e pool water heaters, liquid pool cover, green roof, passive ventilation, etc.; master planning 8

9 Integrated Technology Testing/Showcasing: Example Near-Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Projects 3 Working with A Builder KB Home - Dawn Creek, Lancaster Integrated tankless water heater, hydronic space heating, drain heat recovery, and natural gas vehicle refill pump, etc. 9

10 Other SoCalGas ET Partnerships» LADWP Emerging Technologies Program A $800,000 charter, reimbursable Joint project development Playa Vista Community Center 2 Energy Use Dashboard Potential NEST thermostat home tests» (Hot) Water & Gas Messaging Study Potential Partner Glendale W&P Using IT-based analytics & advanced meters billing data to induce hot water behavioral savings via messaging» Smart Gas Home Showcase Found test homes with City of Downey 10
