Moderator: Michael Bishop Paramount Unified School District (562) mbishop@paramount.k12.ca.us Panelists: Laura Battise Chevron Energy Solutions (916) , ext lbattise@chevron.com Randy Britt Los Angeles Unified School District (213) randy.britt@lausd.net Steve Newsom LPA, Inc.

2 What is AB 32? AB 32 or The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 is a Ca. environmental law to reduce Ca. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Goal of reducing GHG to 1990 levels by 2020 (about a 30% reduction based on business as usual scenarios) AB 32 Timetable 1/1/09: Approved scoping plan for achieving 2020 Ca. GHG emissions limit 1/1/11: Adopt GHG emissions limits and emission reduction measures based on 1/09 scoping plan, effective in one year 1/1/12: Mandatory caps based on 1/09 scoping plan become effective. Market-based cap and trade regulations likely
3 Western Climate Initiative (WCI) WCI will likely form a regional cap & trade market (AB 32 has ramifications far beyond Ca.) Partners are already on-board. Observers are likely to join Source: Western Climate Initiative Sectors Impacted by AB 32 Transportation Electric Utilities Buildings Industry Recycling and Waste Agriculture
4 Regulated Greenhouse Gases & Sources Carbon Dioxide: Fossil fuel consumption (electricity, transportation, heating) & land use Methane: Agriculture, fossil fuel use & waste disposal Nitrous Oxide: Agriculture & land use Fluorinated Gases (HFC, PFC & SF 6 ): Refrigerants, manufacturing & fire suppressants Ca. GHG Emission Sources Source: ARB Scoping Plan-California Gov t
5 Recommended Efficiency Actions Source: ARB Scoping Plan-California Gov t More Recommended Actions All new schools should be required to meet the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) 2009 criteria Existing schools applying for modernization funds should also be required to meet CHPS 2009 criteria All new State buildings to exceed existing Green Building Initiative energy goals and achieve nationally-recognized building sustainability standards such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design - New Construction (LEED-NC) Gold certification Existing State buildings would also be retrofitted to achieve higher standards equivalent to LEED-EB for existing buildings (EB) Silver Source: ARB Scoping Plan-California Gov t
6 AB 32 K-12 Opportunities A.B. 32 also has a Community Empowerment Amendment that, requires ARB to ensure that the GHG emission reduction rules, regulations, programs, mechanisms, and incentives under its jurisdiction direct public and private investment toward the most disadvantaged communities in California and provide an opportunity for small businesses, schools, affordable housing associations, and other community institutions to participate in and benefit from statewide efforts to reduce GHG emissions. Source: Greenlining Conclusions AB 32 is a far reaching state law that will have an impact at almost every level within the state and considerable impacts across North America New and existing schools will be required to meet building efficiency standards under AB 32 Although the goals of AB 32 are challenging they will also provide new opportunities
7 Funding Resources In The Age of AB 32 February 25, 2009 Laura Battise Rebecca Wetzstein Chevron 2007 Proprietary & Confidential Resources for Renewables and Energy Efficiency Projects State Funding Stimulus Funding California Solar Initiative California Energy Commission Low Interest Loans Specialty Loan Programs in Partnership with Vendors Foundations Clean Renewable Energy Bonds Tax Exempt Lease Purchases Power Purchase Agreements Renewable Energy Credits Investor Owned & Municipal Owned Utility Incentives/Rebates Self-Generation Incentives Bright Schools Program USDA Lower Emissions School Bus Programs & AB 118 S h l E Effi i P
