1 DuPage Energy and Emissions Profile Making DuPage a Cool County DuPage Energy Summit January 23, 2014 Lindy Wordlaw, Energy Program Manager A Division of the Center for Neighborhood Technology

2 Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) Nonprofit organization promoting urban sustainability since 1978 Creative think-and-do tank that combines rigorous research with effective solutions

3 About CNT Energy A mission-based organization dedicated to promoting smarter energy use for all A national leader in providing high quality support for dynamic electricity pricing programs An expert in using data to drive results through monitoring, evaluation, and research Our team of multi-disciplined experts includes engineers, building analysts, construction managers, data analysts, urban planners, communications professionals, policy specialists, and more.

4 Our Areas of Expertise Energy research and planning Energy benchmarking Planning + Sustainability Publications on topics including best practices in dynamic pricing program administration Study: Energy Efficiency in Apartments Could Save $3.4 Billion Energy efficient buildings 17,254 units in 418 multifamily buildings retrofitted for efficiency 20% average annual energy savings Dynamic electricity pricing

5 Pre-cursor to the DuPage Energy and Emissions Profile

6 The Municipal Energy Profile Project Funded by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF) In cooperation with

7 Pre-cursor to this project: The Municipal Energy Profile Project Funded by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF) In cooperation with 276 municipalities in the Chicago region received profiles Three workshops/webinars across region Guidebook to assist municipalities in developing data-driven strategies Free technical assistance

8 Pre-cursor to this project: The Municipal Energy Profile Project 2007 community-wide energy and emissions data 7 page report 5 sections: Section 1: Using Your Profile Section 2: Electricity Consumption Section 3: Natural Gas Consumption Section 4: Transportation - Vehicle Miles Traveled Section 5: Emissions Profile

9 DuPage County commits to take action Fall 2012 DuPage County adopts the Cool Counties initiative, setting a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 10% by 2020 and 20% by Baseline year: 2007

10 DuPage County Energy and Emissions Profile PHASE 1: Compile municipal profiles from 2007 Municipal Energy Profile Project into 2007 DuPage County Energy and Emissions Baseline Profile Measure Consumption & Calculate Emissions for: 2007 electricity consumption 2007 natural gas consumption 2007 transportation (vehicle miles traveled)

11 Goals/Phases of this Project PHASE 2: Develop comparable 2012 Profile for DuPage County Measure Consumption & Calculate Emissions for: 2007 electricity consumption 2007 natural gas consumption 2007 transportation (vehicle miles traveled)

12 Goals/Phases of this Project PHASE 3 (later): Develop customized analysis and emissions inventory report that would analyze trends from the 2007 and 2012 reports and assist county green team in developing appropriate strategies.

13 What s In Your DuPage County Energy and Emissions Profile?

14 Section 1: Using Your Profile Baseline Metrics or Benchmarking You can t measure your success without knowing where you started from. Accurate Data Factual consumption data trumps estimates provided by other sources; helps better project savings estimates.
