SUMMARY:Quick Start Grant Webinar Series: Bridging the Gaps\, Funding the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join TECH Clean California for our final webinar in the Quick Start Grant series. This webinar will showcase findings from two projects seeking solutions for underserved market segments: an exploration of the technical barriers and opportunities of installing heat pump water heaters in manufactured housing\, and a framework for leveraging the green financing industry to fund retrofits. \nFeatured Projects:\n\nTesting Heat Pump Water Heaters in Manufactured Housing: Despite the potential energy savings and emissions reductions\, the adoption rate of heat pump water heaters in mobile and manufactured homes remains near zero. AESC will share insights from their efforts to install and evaluate the benefits of heat pump water heaters in manufactured homes through the Quick Start Grant program. The team will cover the pervasive barriers faced by these communities and recommendations for the needed regulatory changes\, technological innovation\, and collaborative efforts to unlock the potential of heat pump water heaters in these homes.\nScaling Heat Pump Retrofits in Housing with Cost Barriers: Climate Resolve & USGBC-CA aimed to promote residential electrification by addressing the financing gap for retrofits\, particularly for income-constrained households. The project explored opportunities to align measurement and verification protocols of heat pump installations with green finance standards and unlock new mechanisms for private investments. The team will share their findings with a focus on scaling these efforts to larger multifamily retrofits to attract more green financing.\n\nWhat You’ll Learn:\n\nGain insights into the unique challenges faced by low-income and historically marginalized communities when adopting heat pump technologies\, and how targeted incentives and financing solutions can drive broader adoption.\nExplore the broader impact of heat pump installations from the magnitude of energy savings in manufactured homes to greenhouse gas reductions that could attract green finance investments.\nLearn about the types of data necessary to unlock pathways for electrification in affordable housing and underserved communities.\n\nThis session offers valuable lessons for policymakers\, program implementers\, financial institutions\, and community-based organizations seeking to scale equitable clean energy solutions. \nPlease reach out to tech-clean-ca@veic.org with any questions you may have.

SUMMARY:Geothermal Heat Pumps
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 19th as we explore the world of Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs)\, a technology that uses the constant temperature of the shallow earth to provide heating and cooling. Because the ground can absorb excess heat during the summer and act as a heat source during the winter\, GHPs are extremely efficient—reducing energy consumption up to 44% compared to air source heat pumps and 72% compared to standard HVAC systems. \nWhile more costly to install\, GHPs offer greater longevity and stability than air source heat pumps\, and the additional costs may be returned in energy savings in just 5-10 years. We’ll discuss which climates and conditions are optimal for GHPs\, and how to decide if your property is a good fit. Our panelists will share the basics of geothermal heat pumps along with their many advantages—high efficiency and extreme climate performance to name a few. \nJoin us for a 45-minute webinar in which we’ll discuss: \n\nWhat is a geothermal heat pump and how does it work?\nHow efficient is a geothermal heat pump\, as compared to other types of heating and cooling?\nWhat are the benefits of using geothermal energy?\nWhy would someone invest in geothermal versus an air source heat pump?\nWhat is the cost to install a GHP\nHow does the energy savings impact payback time?\nAre there incentives available?\nWhat is the lifespan of a GHP system?\nWhat are the ideal climates for GHPs?\nHow can geothermal energy help the grid?\nHow do I decide if my property is a good candidate for a GHP?\nWhat about larger buildings or multifamily buildings?\nWhat are the different types of GHPs available?\nHow can I find someone to install a GHP at my home?\n\nThis webinar is part of the Electrify Now “Go Electric!” series developed in partnership with LEARN. Find more Go Electric! webinars with information and tips on other important electrification topics here. \nLEARN is a San Diego based workforce education and training program that has partnered with Electrify Now to offer free energy efficiency and electrification webinars.

SUMMARY:Accounting for Federal Tax Incentives and Other Transfers in Benefit-Cost Analysis of DERs
DESCRIPTION:This training course will describe how “transfers” – i.e.\, when an impact on one party is exactly offset by an inverse impact on another party – can be identified and accounted for in benefit-cost analysis (BCA) for distributed energy resources (DERs). The guidance builds on the National Standard Practice Manual for Benefit-Cost Analysis of Distributed Energy Resources (NSPM) and expands upon some of the guidance provided therein. \nTax incentives for installing or otherwise implementing energy technologies are one example of an impact that might be considered a transfer. With the recent significant increases in federal tax incentives for installing clean DERs\, it is critical that they be properly characterized and accounted for in BCAs. Other examples of transfers that will be addressed are treatment of utility performance incentives\, market price effects and host customer incentives. \nThe course will present key questions to consider in determining whether an impact is a transfer or not and will explain how the determination depends upon the scope of the BCA test being applied\, i.e.\, whether it is the Utility Cost Test (UCT)\, the Total Resource Cost Test (TRC)\, the Societal Cost Test (SCT)\, or a Jurisdiction-Specific Test (JST). \nAt the conclusion of this course\, attendees will: \n• Describe what constitutes a transfer in the context of Benefit-Cost Analysis for Distributed Energy Resources. \n• Identify and classify impacts as transfers or non-transfers in various BCA scenarios for DERs. \n• Evaluate the role of transfers in different BCA tests (Utility Cost Test\, Total Resource Cost Test\, Societal Cost Test\, and Jurisdiction-Specific Test) and explain how the scope of the test affects the characterization of transfers.

SUMMARY:Assessing Energy Affordability Impacts and Other Key Metrics (Alongside Benefit-Cost Analyses) to Inform DER Investment Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Many states and utilities are looking for ways to address energy affordability when deciding whether and how utilities should invest in or support distributed energy resources (DERs). This multi-day course will describe how conducting a distributional equity analysis (DEA) can be used in conjunction with benefit-cost analyses (BCA) of DERs to provide a broader decision framework that considers key metrics – such as rate and bill impacts\, participation\, health and safety – and their impacts on underserved (e.g.\, low income) customers relative to all other customers. This training is geared towards evaluation practitioners\, utilities\, and stakeholders. \nThe course will rely largely on the US DOE guidance titled: Distributional Equity Analysis for Energy Efficiency and Other Distributed Energy Resources: A Practical Guide (May 2024). \nThe training will describe the difference between DEA and BCA\, where BCA looks at whether a proposed investment will provide net benefits for all customers on average\, while a DEA considers the distribution of costs and benefits for customers with different characteristics\, such as low income populations\, relative to other customers. Instructors will walk through the seven stages of conducting a DEA\, share definitions of priority populations from across the country; describe examples of distributional equity metrics; provide an overview of geospatial tools that can be used to support DEAs; and provide data sources and opportunities to streamline the analysis. The course will also cover example applications of DER to two states\, Washington and Illinois\, and will illustrate how to combine DEA results with BCA results to inform decision-making. \nAfter this course\, students will be able to \n\nDefine what equity means to themselves and their organizations.\nCompare and contrast the differences between DEA and BCA.\nDescribe examples of distributional equity metrics.\nExplain how DEAs can be used to inform a variety of decisions to advance energy equity goals.

SUMMARY:Energy Efficiency Policy Forum
DESCRIPTION:As we approach a pivotal moment for energy policy\, the 2024 election will determine whether the next administration and the 119th Congress will continue to advance energy efficiency or reverse some of the substantial progress made in recent years. Historic investments through the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have set the stage for significant improvements in clean transportation\, affordable housing\, and industrial innovation. However\, with a new administration and Congress on the horizon\, the future of these policies hangs in the balance. \nThe 2024 Energy Efficiency Policy Forum will convene experts and leaders from across government\, industry\, and advocacy to assess the current landscape of federal energy efficiency policies\, explore ways to strengthen and expand these efforts\, and discuss how to address potential challenges ahead. In the face of uncertainty\, we will chart a path forward—whether that means building on existing achievements\, defending against policy rollbacks\, or seizing new opportunities to lower consumer energy costs\, boost U.S. competitiveness\, and combat the climate crisis. \nThe forum will feature keynote addresses by government leaders as well as sessions focusing on: \n\nEquitable and Efficient Housing. Panelists will discuss their successes and challenges in implementing new building efficiency programs\, how programs can be improved\, and energy efficiency’s role in alleviating rising household costs.\nIndustrial Competitiveness and Adequate Power. Panelists will examine the needs of industrial firms as they seek to transform their operations to reduce energy costs and decrease their reliance on fossil fuels and carbon-intensive processes. We will examine how the federal government can facilitate or hinder this transition.\nTransportation Reauthorization. Every five years\, Congress must reauthorize hundreds of billions of dollars in federal surface transportation programs for highways\, intercity rail\, and public transit. We will explore opportunities to improve the efficiency of electric vehicles and our nation’s critical freight systems\, including a state perspective.
