TOP REASONS CITIES NEED COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS–NOW

Inflation and spiraling costs have impacted us all. The price of gasoline, the
cost of eggs, bacon and most other basic needs for food and transportation have
exploded in the last few years. To combat these inflationary pressures,
employees, unions and workers across all industries are expecting needed salary
increases just to commute to work and put food on the table. Combined with all
the negative hangover effects from the COVID pandemic, many municipalities are
wondering, “What can we focus on in 2023 to make some positive impacts and get a
WIN?”

One of the major budget line items for most municipal governments (often just
behind salaries and pensions) are their electricity and natural gas payments.
Not a surprise to any CFO: utility increases in California have shot up
dramatically in the last few years. All Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs), such as
Southern California Edison (SCE), Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and San Diego
Gas & Electric (SDGE) have seen commercial electricity rate increases skyrocket.
In 2022, SCE increased by 40% and PG&E increased by 24% while SDGE increased by
27% in 2021 and another 4.3% in 2022. The chart below shows residential rate
increases from 2016-2022, with commercial rates, having had a similar
trajectory.

Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), 2022

Most recently, electricity rates at IOUs have risen far faster than inflation.
Many experts believe that with the mandated transition to more renewable energy
production, plus the move to the “electrification” of vehicles and HVAC
equipment, the significant upward trend in utility rate increases will continue
well into the future. Even as current rates rise by five times more than average
growth, IOUs are slated to continue the upward trajectory on costs. Imagine your
total utility bill doubling in the next three years.

PG&E has already proposed additional rate increases of up to 25% starting in
2023 for commercial, industrial and agricultural customers. Sempra Energy, the
parent company of SDGE, is paying its investors the highest profits recorded,
funded by ratepayers who face one of the highest per-unit electricity prices in
the county. These are just the facts.

It is easy to simply just focus on electric price increases, but with current US
energy policies and global market dynamics, natural gas prices have risen at an
even faster pace than electricity with SoCal Gas customers experiencing an
increase of more than 300% since January 2022.


Source: US Energy Information Administration, 2022

If you are a city manager or city council member, what can you do to blunt these
massive utility cost increases? Doing nothing or hoping the problem will go away
is not a strategy. Some of the leading cities across California, including the
City of Ontario, the City of Santa Clarita, the City of San Leandro and the City
of Fountain Valley, offer excellent examples of how to proactively combat the
impact of rising utility costs with investments in modernization, efficiency and
sustainability.

The City of Santa Clarita, for example, recently approved a citywide program to
promote building and infrastructure efficiency, renewable energy generation and
park revitalization. The program will generate over $46.6 million in savings for
the City’s operating and capital budgets–including $5.2 million in inflation
savings for capital projects–while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by
3,322 metric tons per year. Countless other examples exist of cities embarking
on comprehensive programs like Santa Clarita’s, with the same notable and
documented positive outcomes for other cities:

 * Fountain Valley boasts program lifecycle savings of approximately $13.2
   million and a reduction of GHG emissions by about 1,833 metric tons
 * Ontario’s savings approach approximately $75 million while GHG emissions drop
   8,878 metric tons
 * San Leandro shows $37.3 million in general fund relief with a reduction of a
   whopping 25,033 metric tons

Most municipalities have contemplated energy and sustainability initiatives for
years, but the required upfront capital, staff resource constraints, stakeholder
coordination and complex analysis makes it hard to get projects off the ground.
Cities may take several approaches, but there is one approach that is proven to
be the most effective for getting projects completed in less time, with fewer
resources and with lower risk.

Compared to “piecemealing” projects one at a time or waiting for equipment to
break down, a design/build energy services approach allows a city to look at
energy holistically and through the lens of the long term. Bundling all pieces
of the puzzle together, rather than implementing one or two at a time, addresses
deferred maintenance needs, as well as resiliency and sustainability goals.
What’s more, is the legislative availability of streamlined procurement options
available, which make it easy to competitively procure a single point of
accountability without hiring multiple consulting firms and incurring all the
incremental costs and delays associated with a traditional 4-5 year+
construction/retrofit process.

If energy efficiency and sustainability (plus blunting budget-busting utility
increases) are on your to-do list and you are looking for some reasons to
prioritize energy infrastructure projects in 2023, read on:

FIVE REASONS TO ACT NOW

 1. PRICE & TIMELINE CERTAINTY

According to CBRE, construction cost escalations have seen double digit
increases for the last two years and are anticipated to escalate at higher than
pre-pandemic norms into 2023. If your city has constructed any facilities or has
done any significant construction projects recently, you know firsthand the
risks, delays, budget overruns, litigation, etc., that can result.

Not to mention the other delays created by supply chain disturbances, with many
components often taking up to 12 months to arrive. The combined impact of
inflation and delays are costing billions, forcing many cities to defer decision
making or cancel projects altogether. By the time projects are ready to be
pursued, it’s common for cities to see projects costing 1.5-2 times more than
was originally budgeted in years prior.

Acting NOW, with a streamlined design/build approach, puts you in the driver’s
seat and ensures you can lock down–and stand behind–the budgets and timelines
you promise to stakeholders.

 2. GRANTS, INCENTIVES, REBATES

More funding is available today from grants, incentives and rebates than ever
before. Ranging from federal, state, local and private sector programs,
municipalities have a chance to free up or stretch the impact of capital funds
without taking on any debt. Finding a partner who has deep expertise in helping
your city secure incremental funds is imperative. The money is out there.

In addition to the billions in ARPA stimulus cities must obligate before
December 2024, you can now also tap into an additional $370 billion from the
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for clean energy generation, efficiency measures,
improvements to water/wastewater facilities and EV charging infrastructure. IRA
funds can help fund approximately one-third of the cost of solar for your city
with direct payment tax incentives. Lighting, HVAC, battery storage and many
other types of “electrification” also qualify for potential grants.

 3. EFFICIENCY – STILL YIELDS MUCH LOW-HANGING FRUIT

It’s common for cities to think they’ve done all the low-hanging fruit there is
to do if you have completed a few efficiency upgrades over the last decade. Even
in relatively new facilities or buildings that meet LEED standards, run times
and automation settings often get modified or overridden with time. Plus,
technology improvements and Title 24 building code standards have changed
drastically in just the last few years, particularly when it comes to
ventilation standards or the electrification of natural gas-consuming equipment.

By optimizing your current infrastructure to run more efficiently and replacing
outdated equipment with technology that meets today’s standards by investing in
smart building technology, you can reduce the utility consumption of your
existing facilities by anywhere from 30%-40% or more.

 4. PIECEMEAL & BREAKDOWN APPROACHES DON’T WORK

When it comes to energy, piecemeal approaches or waiting for things to break
leads to unintended consequences with a variety of negative impacts, including
staff resource strain, comfort and productivity issues, emergency repair cost,
etc. Furthermore, the stacking order for pursuing building efficiency and
renewable energy projects is critically important to avoid alternative energy
system oversizing, another common pitfall of a piecemeal approach.

Having a single point of accountability for the energy analysis, design,
implementation and overall savings assurance gets your projects off the ground
without the risks of budget overruns and delays. A comprehensive approach also
allows you to reduce the load of your facilities first and then properly size
solar energy and storage solutions to precisely meet the needs of your now more
efficient facilities. The technology to achieve Zero-Net Energy and Carbon
Neutrality is available today, however, these ambitious goals can only be
achieved with a well-planned, comprehensive perspective.

With all the diverse and long-term challenges pressing down on city managers
today (homelessness, crime, traffic congestion, worker/labor shortages,
affordable housing and other state mandates), it would be easy to become
overwhelmed and discouraged. Luckily, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel or
take ten years when it comes to pursuing energy efficiency, sustainability and
infrastructure investments.

Find a city that has had success with a comprehensive energy program and ask
them about their process. Ask for a sample RFP and adapt the document for your
needs. Once you drive a competitive process, select a design/build partner and
conduct a citywide assessment. You will then have the tools and data to align a
scope of work and funding plan specifically targeting your stakeholder and city
needs. Before proceeding with program implementation, you’ll be equipped with a
whole picture perspective to make intelligent long-term decisions that best
serve your city’s interest today, tomorrow and for the next twenty years. Act
NOW, and you can capture a big WIN in the next year or two for your city, while
striving to address the numerous other longer term challenges city leaders face
today.

ALVORD UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IMPROVES INDOOR AIR QUALITY TO PREPARE FOR SAFE
REOPENING

Riverside, CA – In a move toward greater environmental sustainability and fiscal
resiliency, Alvord Unified School District’s (AUSD) Board of Trustees approved a
second phase of energy infrastructure improvements with a strong focus on
improving indoor air quality.

“Our initial phase of improvements in 2015 helped us tackle the rising costs of
utilities and relieve a portion of our deferred maintenance liability,”
commented Kevin Emenaker, executive director of administrative services at the
District. “Now, as we do our part to stop the spread of COVID-19, our number one
priority is implementing the right equipment, technology and sanitation
practices to keep our students and staff healthy when they return.”

Modernizing antiquated heating & cooling (HVAC) equipment will help ensure that
clean air is supplied to the learning environment. According to the World Health
Organization, the COVID-19 virus primarily spreads through small liquid
particles from coughing and sneezing. AUSD’s new HVAC technology directly
combats the transmission of disease by removing contaminated airborne droplets
from a space. The HVAC equipment features ventilation and filtration systems
that meet the Centers for Disease Controls’ health guidelines, making this
possible. To take things a step further, the District also purchased air
scrubbers that deactivate viruses, kill bacteria and remove other air pathogens
for areas that have yet to receive new HVAC.

The improvements AUSD is making at its high school gyms will drastically improve
indoor air quality in spaces that typically host large amounts of students and
their families through sports and other community events. La Sierra High School
and Norte Vista High School had obsolete heating-only equipment in their gyms,
leaving them stuffy from a lack of cooling and poor ventilation. The new
high-efficiency HVAC brings fresh air from outside into the space, filtering and
conditioning it for optimal comfort.

“Although we don’t know how or when social distancing guidelines will allow us
to use the gym, it’s assuring for our community to know we will be ready to
safely reopen when the time comes,” shared Dr. Tania Cabeza, principal for La
Sierra. “We are thankful to the Board of Trustees for making this sound
investment to improve air quality in an area that needs it the most.”

Norte Vista High School shares a similar sentiment after years of receiving
complaints about the gym’s lack of comfort. “The addition of air conditioning in
the gym is going to make a world of a difference as we see our local climate get
warmer each year,” shares Jason Marquez, principal for Norte Vista. “Through
Phases I and II of our infrastructure upgrade, we have replaced nearly all HVAC
with modern equipment that improves indoor air quality.”

Aside from enhancing the comfort and safety of facilities, AUSD’s infrastructure
update will also help relieve the District’s budget. The sheer efficiency of the
new equipment will cut energy and former maintenance and operations costs enough
to pay for the improvements and provide positive net cash flow for the
District’s budget. Along with the District’s HVAC upgrade, it secured new
building automation systems, districtwide interior and exterior LED lighting
modernizations and a carport solar shade structure at Villegas Middle School.

Rather than diving headfirst into solar, AUSD administrators made a conscious
decision to do a pilot solar program at one school first. Their intent is to
expand to other sites only after the performance of the first of the solar
arrays are vetted. Villegas Middle School was chosen because it has some of the
highest energy rates in the District. The savings generated by the new solar
structure is helping to pay for the comprehensive program while supporting the
Board of Trustees’ vision to move toward zero net energy.

“It feels good to know we’re doing all we can in a situation we don’t have a lot
of control over,” Emenaker continued. “Beyond just responding to current safety
needs for COVID-19, the work we are doing to renew our infrastructure will
benefit our facilities and the health of our community for decades.”

According to the District’s partner, Climatec, construction is well underway and
projected for completion this fall. Once complete, the infrastructure
modernizations will drastically reduce the District’s greenhouse gas emissions
and cut electric consumption by approximately 3.9 million kilowatt hours per
year–the equivalent of powering 400 Riverside homes per year.

CITY OF WEED TO "FLIP THE SWITCH" AND CELEBRATE RENEWABLE ENERGY ON JULY 12

‍WEED, CA - The City of Weed plans to “flip the switch” on its new solar
photovoltaic (PV)systems and ring in the generation of clean energy in a
celebration to take place on Friday, July12. The ceremony, slated for 10 to
10:30 a.m. under the solar shade structure at City Hall (550Main Street in Weed,
CA), will draw city leaders, community members and local media.

“After over a year of planning, we’re thrilled to announce that City Hall and
our wastewater treatment plant will be powered by solar energy!” said City of
Weed Mayor Ken Palfini. “With modernized energy infrastructure across the City,
our community can look forward to a healthier, smarter and more vibrant future.
Climatec has been a key partner in Weed becoming a smart, sustainable city.”

The PV systems are expected to produce approximately 333,000 kWh per year and
8.35 million kWh over its lifetime. The equivalent annual outcome of these
returns are 32 cars off the road,17,379 gallons of gasoline saved, 4,531 trees
preserved and 23 American homes powered.

The new PV systems, however, are only one piece of Weed’s plan to advance its
sustainability and reap energy and cost savings. Via a partnership with Climatec
Energy Services, Weed has invested in interior and exterior LED lighting at City
buildings; new heating and cooling at theCity Hall; networked temperature
controls at Weed Library and improvements to the city’s wastewater treatment
plant. Savings accrued over the lifespan of the new equipment and the solar
system are estimated at $5.5 million and 12.1 million kWh.

“The projected financial and energy savings will create a reservoir that can be
reinvested in our community–this is a huge feat for our city,” said Weed City
Manager Ronald ("Ron") W. Stock.“From planning to construction, Climatec has
been instrumental to the solar power generation system’s timely execution. Their
dedication to us as a client has put us on track to achieve our energy
efficiency and financial goals.”

The City formally adopted the project on January 11, 2018 on a 5-0 vote, which
was funded by a1 percent loan from the California Energy Commission. In
approximately 12 months, Climatec implemented work on the project.

“As a proud leader in energy efficiency, Climatec finds it incredibly satisfying
to bring energy efficiency and smart technology to communities like the City of
Weed,” said Tyler Girtman,

Climatec account manager for Weed. “These innovations wouldn’t have been
possible without the thoughtful leadership exhibited by city leaders like Ron,
Ken and all of Weed’s City Council and staff. Weed is a prime example of a
community whose push to become more sustainable will benefit us all.”
