ROOM 103 Funding Electric Vehicles and Infrastructure Electric vehicles are skyrocketing in popularity. With “fuel” costs at less than a third of the cost of gasoline, show can resist? But as their popularity grows, so does the need for chargers. These chargers, short-handed as EVSE (Elec- tric Vehicle Service Equipment) range widely in cost and capacity. Why should a business or an agency consider installing them, how should you pay for them, is there a payback? Find out the best strategies for funding and installing EVSE.


Presenters: Lisa Chiladakis, PEV Collaborative Liai- son, California Air Resources Board Gil Caravantes, Commerce Printing Chris White, Communications Director, California Fuel Cell Partnership Will Barrett, Clipper Creek Jonah Eidus, Program Manager - Ready for EV, NRG eVgo


ROOM 104 The Next Dimension of Recycling - Beyond Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Understanding Options to Expand Re- cycling Infrastructure Beyond thinking about reduce, reuse, and recycle, there is a world of re- cycling that includes other benefits as well. These benefits range from economic development and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to bringing manufacturing back to California. This is not your usual recycling paradigm. Learn about examples of how different industries and communities are plan- ning and siting new recycling and man- ufacturing facilities, how recycling helps address climate change and new and innovative systems in the field. Share your experiences, lessons learned and tips for success with the workshop attendees and learn about resources to help your community and industry.

ROOM 105 Leveraging Prop 39 for Green Schools Forever: Smart Energy Investments


This presentation is geared towards providing K-14 District staff, both practi- cal resources and innovative strate- gies to leverage their Proposition 39 funding, focused on smart finance and implementation investments of tracked avoided costs. Two recent publications by the Center for Green Schools, “Pow- ering Down,” and the “Green Schools Investment Guide,” provide a useful approach to tackling energy efficiency in greening our existing school facilities. From these, we highlight a combination of energy efficiency program strategies that, when integrated with Proposi- tion 39 implementation, can maximize: return on investment, energy reduc- tions, and ultimately capture energy cost savings, for continual reinvestment. Cost-effective strategies that minimize energy waste, such as through behav- ior-based energy conservation pro- grams, and operational efficiency com- bined with the use of Green Revolving Funds, present Districts with the unique opportunity to create a self-sustaining, internal revenue stream for energy ef- ficiency and greening existing schools beyond the 5-year Prop. 39 program. Learn how ‘Shared Operational Savings’ can be a key driver to energy savings. Come explore the financial analysis / return on investment of these strate- gies, and learn about the benefits of the “Billion Dollar Green Challenge,” continuing to leverage your Prop. 39 funding through a sustainable endow- ment within your District! Attendees will walk away with a strategic short list of practical resources such as the Green Revolving Investment Tracking System
