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:New York City Case Study: Understanding the Relationship between Policy and Actual Building Energy and Emissions Data
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Duncan Prahl\, City College of New York (CUNY) \nDescription: This webinar will present new research from the City College of New York (CUNY) evaluating the relationships between New York City (NYC) laws enacted over the past 15 years related to energy codes and benchmarking\, building audits\, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caps and actual building energy use and permit data. The team will highlight and share findings from a robust analysis comparing NYC energy code cycles and compliance pathways to predicted and actual building energy consumption and GHG emissions. In addition\, CUNY will share lessons learned about the data exploration process and recommendations for jurisdictions on how to best collect data related to buildings\, energy use\, and GHG emissions.

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:Building Commissioning: Turning Good Intentions into Great Operations
DESCRIPTION:On January 22nd from 11am PT | 2pm ET\, join the Efficient and Healthy Schools Program and the Renew America’s Schools Program to learn about the importance of commissioning new systems to ensure that they function properly. Commissioning is the key to making sure that schools get what they paid for before project turnover and while equipment is still within the warranty period. Learn from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory experts about the steps of proper commissioning: documentation\, verification procedures\, functional performance tests\, validation\, and training. This webinar will share resources that schools can rely on when planning for commissioning. Attendees will also hear from IDEA Public Schools (Texas) about how they instituted a new policy to engage an independent third-party commissioning agent (CxA) and found significant improvements.

SUMMARY:Preserving Federal Clean Energy Investments
DESCRIPTION:Please join C2ES\, along with other participants from the 22 regional roundtables C2ES has hosted over the last several years\, for a strategy session about how we can collaborate to protect crucial federal clean energy investments. During this call\, C2ES staff will provide the latest information on the state of the debate in the halls Congress\, share details about our ongoing activities\, and outline how you and the clean energy communities you’re working in every day can help preserve these investments. \nThis conversation is intended to bring together past participants from regional roundtable events for a foundational conversation to: \n• Bring you up to speed on the latest political developments in the clean energy investment debate; • Outline the topics at the center of the debate\, key questions that Congress will be grappling with; \n• Share a strategy and key messages that can be utilized to strengthen any existing advocacy that you and others in your community are engaging in; and \n• Detail several near-term opportunities to work directly with C2ES as part of our federal advocacy efforts.
