Intelligent Efficiency:
National Summit on Integrating Energy Efficiency & Smart GridWashington, D.C.October 15th, 2013
Ethan A. RogersSenior Program Manager, IndustryAmerican Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
The Next Generation of Energy Efficiency
American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)
• ACEEE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that acts as a catalyst to advance energy efficiency policies, programs, technologies, investments & behaviors.
• 50 staff in DC, DE, MI, WA & WI• Focus on end-use efficiency in industry, buildings,
utilities & transportation• Other research in economic analysis; behavior;
national, state & local policy.• Funding:
◦ Foundation Grants (52%)◦ Contract Work & Gov. Grants (20%)◦ Conferences and Publications (20%)◦ Contributions and Other (8%)
Overview
• What is Intelligent Efficiency?
• Benefits of Intelligent Efficiency
• Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid
• Energy savings potential
The Technology behind Intelligent Efficiency
Evolution of energy efficiency
• Efficient components• Simple control systems• Reactive control systems• Programmable control systems• Predictive control systems
Building Automation: Current State
Problem• Multiple systems• Little or no
connectivity• Potential for
conflicting goals• No self-correcting
capabilities
Building Automation: Integrated
Integrated Solution• Energy visibility
throughout• Security integration
throughout• Ability to perform
real-time modeling and optimize performance
Facility Management: Closed Loop
• Closed loop control for real-time optimization
• Energy savings• Productivity savings
• Energy analysis• Track energy use• Identify and correct
anomaliesSource: Schneider Electric

Intelligent Efficiency Measures & Energy Efficiency Programs
Measurement & Verification• Compare current energy use against a
baseline of similar environmental factors.
• Benefits• Better data• More timely data• Automated communication of data
Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid
Utility Information• Value of Energy• Demand Response
Requests
Customer Information• Volume of Savings• Timing of Savings
Economic Potential
• Energy savings from “enabling” technologies • 12-22% (GeSI)
• Savings from systems effects• 40-60% (ACEEE)
• Efficiency and productivity create jobs• Direct vs. Induced• Internet job creation rate 2.6:1 (McKinsey)
Conclusions
• Intelligent efficiency can play a transformative role to scale-up energy efficiency
• Systems thinking is central theme of Intelligent Efficiency, enabled by ICT, real-time information & simulation
• Smart Grid could provide the connection between customer and utility systems
• Significant energy savings potential warrants inclusion in energy efficiency resource plans
• Potential to provide real-time M&V data which could enable programs to pay for savings (vs. equipment).
