ROOM 202 Natural Gas Vehicles and Infrastruc- ture: Real World, Best Case Roadmap Projects and Experience When used as a transportation fuel, natural gas can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, espe- cially when you factor in the emerging commercial success of RNG created from organic waste, through anaerobic digestion creating negative carbon fuel operating results. The challenge and opportunity is in answering which NG approach is best? What are the factors for cost-effective project scoping and getting your fleets, private or public, up and running with the right solution that is most environmentally impactful?

ROOM 203 Making the Most Out of Prop 39:
School Energy Retrofits, Staff Train- ing, Conservation & Education This session is designed to help super- intendents, facility directors, and teach- ers best utilize Prop 39 funding. Prop 39 has the potential to reduce school operating budgets and environmental impact, while engaging students in ap- plied STEM service-learning and lead- ership. This session explores cost-ef- fective ways to leverage Prop 39 funds for expansion of retrofit capacity, launch successful conservation campaigns, and engage students in service-learn- ing and leadership. Attendees will learn practical steps in the retrofit process; low and no-cost energy conservation strate- gies such as Building Operator Certifica- tion (BOC); hear data-driven stories on successful models statewide; and learn about educational resources such as school energy auditing curriculum. The BOC has the potential to reduce operat- ing budgets and environmental impact through employee education and invest- ment in the human element in buildings. Prop 39 is an opportunity to empower students through technical projects for retrofit support in order to make the most efficient use of resources.
Presenter: Emily Courtney, Program Manager, Stra- tegic Energy Innovations
10:30 am- 11:45 am ROOM 101-102 Energy Efficiency and Demand Re- sponse Programs You Can Use This session will provide details on sev- eral of SMUD’s innovative energy effi-
ciency and demand response programs. The Advanced Controllable Lighting program yielded lighting efficiency sav- ings ranging from 50 to 90%. With over a dozen participants, lighting energy sav- ings and peak-period reductions were consistently large. With system costs coming down over time, this technolgy represent the future of efficiency lighting systems. Demand response is making a significant comeback in California. New technologies are enabling new capa- bility that provides large peak-period reductions while minimizing the need for manual customer intervention. SMUD recently implemented a very innovative AutoDR program. This session will pro- vide an overview of the program design, how to participate and how to benefit from program participation. SMUD staff will talk about SMUD’s commercial en- ergy efficiency rebate programs. These programs are designed to help custom- ers reduce energy use, save money and improve operational flexibility and performance.
