20% energy reduction in commercial buildings by 2020
Reduce companies’ energy bills by $40M a year
Save energy by reforming outdated incentives
National Initiative
4
The Need in California
State Mandate: 50% of existing commercial buildings Zero Net Energy by 2030
Commercial Space:Built environment: 5 billion square feet statewide
HVACR Performance:42% of energy consumption in commercial buildings
HVACR Workforce:58,000 incumbent workers 2,000 job openings annually through 2016
HVACR – Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, & Refrigeration

Commercial Energy EfficiencyCase Study: The Aventine Building in San Diego
Investment of $750,000 Yielded:
• $5.4M increase in building value
• 40% reduction in annual utility expense savings
• Under 3-year payback period
• 611 metric ton reduction in CO2
• 886,509 kilowatt reduction in electricity usage
• Reduced site energy use intensity to 25 (kBtu/sf) from 42 (kBtu/sf)
• Reduced annual water consumption by 47% or 1,243,923 gallons

VisionThe Executive Institute’s Vision –
Implement a realistic, yet attainable strategy of preparing the industry for AB 32 Zero Net Energy compliance
• Create workforce programs and initiatives that provide a structure of “Zero Net Energy Readiness”
• Enable the workforce and industry to be ready for and more easily adopt new skills and technologies
• Resulting in significant on-going savings NOW - until the time emerging technologies cost effectively take us to ZNE levels

Where to Focus?
14
Strategic Positioning
Building Operators
• Address entire value chain
• Inform investment decisions
• Balance tenant needs & energy savings
• Drive compliance & quality
• Manage building as an integrated system
• Oversee construction
15
Building Owner Perspective
Current Focus: Fighting anti-business legislations
Energy efficiency: Not a priority investment for most owners
Need additional knowledge about:• Cost savings• Increased asset value• Regulatory factors - building code, utility rates, cap & trade• Contribution to regional economies
Need greater confidence:• Return on investment• Compliance• Life cycle cost control
What’s the workforce solution?

Job Task Analysis (JTA)Department of Energy (DOE) National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS)
Nationally, DOE Recognizes Need for Increased Skills in Energy Efficiency - Focused on Five Key “Energy-Related”
jobs:
1. Building Energy Auditor 2. Building Commissioning Professional
3. Building Operations Professional *4. Energy Manager
5. *Facilities Manager
*Focus on Government Facilities and Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act 16
17
WHY?
• Improve quality and reduce confusion and uncertainty in commercial workforce training and certification programs
• Accelerate energy savings, carbon reductions, and clean energy job creation
