Concurrent Session Descriptions
TUESDAY, APRIL 8
11:00 am- 12:15 pm ROOM 101-102 How real-time data, innovative software, and analytical insights can make your energy efficiency investments pay off! Wondering why your efficiency invest- ments aren’t paying off? There are three categories of energy efficiency that may be part of your strategy today: equipment efficiency (upgrading your inefficient HVAC unit), behavioral effi- ciency (teaching your occupants to turn off the lights), and operational efficiency (optimizing your cooling set points). These are all laudable efforts, but there are steep barriers to energy efficiency, particularly the high cost of real-time energy data and a lack of accessible software tools to glean insights from it.
Want to know where to begin mak- ing improvements or how to measure the impact of your efforts? Whether you’re just getting started with energy management or have spent significant resources on it, you will walk away from this presentation with tangible ideas and step-by-step guidance around how to maximize your building portfolio’s ef- ficiency with real-time energy data and low-cost hardware and software tools.
• Discover what innovative hardware and software solutions are available to provide real-time energy data -- includ- ing public energy dashboards and on- line energy management and analytics platforms.
• Learn how other organizations, such as the City of Washington D.C. and Los Rios Community College District have implemented these solutions to central- ize energy information across their portfolios, drive engagement around energy usage, and meet aggressive energy reduction goals. • Learn the best way for your organiza- tion to obtain real-time energy data — leveraging your existing infrastructure and avoiding high integration costs. • Discover how your organization’s energy efficiency and energy manage- ment efforts can benefit from real-time energy data.
Presenters: Vladi Shunturov, CEO and Founder, Lucid
Kadri Jugandi, Business Development Manager, Lucid
ROOM 103 Commercial Applications for Electric Vehicles Electric cars have come a long way in the last few years. Every major car manufacturer has at least one model. But electric trucks and buses are now coming on-line as practical solutions for government and businesses. UPS is delivering packages every day in Sac- ramento and San Joaquin using electric trucks. PG&E is putting developing plug-in hybrid electric service trucks and service trucks using battery sys- tems for auxiliary power are becoming more and more popular. Battery electric shuttle buses are finding their way into service and full-sized, battery powered
transit buses are now being manufac- tured (right here in California!). Fleet vehicles can be ideal candidates for electric vehicle technologies because they frequently travel regular routes and are parked at the same locations.

ROOM 104 Three Roads to Success: Charting the Local Path to Energy Savings and Greenhouse Gas Reductions This session will look at how cities and counties are benefitting from local sus- tainability programs, investments and state grant programs, and highlight best practices that local agencies are using to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions, energy savings and other co-benefits. • Learn how one county is tracking sustainability outcomes in ten areas of best practice, ranging from community design and efficient trans- portation to resource conservation, energy efficiency, waste management and more. - Learn how one disadvantaged com- munity “followed the funding” to access more than $1 million in grants to plan and implement programs to achieve substantial energy savings and green- house gas reductions, while also pro- moting local economic development - Learn what collaborations and pro-
