auction proceeds under the state’s cap and trade program. The plan reflects a balanced effort to address the major sources of climate change in California, while supporting invest- ments in disadvantaged communities, job opportunities throughout the State, and the continued growth of Califor- nia’s economy. Strategic investments advance the State’s climate, air qual- ity, energy, transportation, and natural resources goals for the 2020 timeframe and beyond. Targeted expenditures are critical to help California realize the trans- formational changes in transportation, energy generation and efficiency, and community development that are vital to meet our longer-range goals as well.

ROOM 104 Conservation Strategies for Land- scape Irrigation Due to the drought, restrictions on irrigation will impact landscapes that require summer watering. To minimize these effects, water losses need to be minimized and irrigation systems will have to perform at peak efficien- cy. We will discuss key elements of water conserving landscapes such as hydrozones, plant selection, irrigation maintenance, and how seasons change plant water use. Topics on improving irrigation efficiency will include control- ler types, sprinkler types, the relation- ship between application and infiltration rates, and distribution uniformity.

ROOM 105 The Last Mile: Energy Goals, Building Codes and Local Enforcement The easy part of 2030 goals have been taken care of, but what about all the rest of it? How is California going to achieve its ambitious targets and bridge the “vast white space” between projections and results? What role does building code play in energy efficiency programs and 2030 targets? How does CALGreen translate to the local build- ing department? And how does it get enforced?

ROOM 202 Turning Food/Organic Waste into Gold (Or Green!)
Today, California leads the nation in ac- tions that are spawning clean, green, in- novative economies around renewable fuels, energy, and technologies. The Capital Region of California is the Farm to Fork Capital of the World. Cities north to south of California are also discover- ing the economic benefits of capturing organic and food waste above even the pursuit of landfill diversion, as part of carbon reduction action plans. Why? And what’s really working to lead the way to make the economics of organics commercially successful and valuable?
