EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During 2014, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) continued to successfully
deliver a diverse portfolio of energy efficiency (EE) programs, providing cost-effective resource
benefits to its ratepayers and the state of California. The United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) recognized SCE's 2014 EE portfolio with the 2014 EnergyStar® Sustained
Excellence Award, its highest honor, for helping customers save energy through a variety of
programs and activities, which resulted in installation of more than 5.6 million EnergyStar®
certified products through a portfolio of up-, mid-, and downstream programs.
Collectively achieving over 1.2 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of annualized energy
savings and over 200 megawatts (MW) of peak demand reduction, SCE’s EE portfolio also
produced over $64 million of net resource benefits in 2014. In addition to helping customers
save money and save energy, SCE's EE programs continued to significantly contribute to the
State's goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with avoided emissions of over
400,000 tons of carbon dioxide in 2014. As described below, SCE continued its successful
mainstay programs, introduced new pilots, and addressed numerous crosscutting goals, such as
supporting water-energy nexus activities and coordinating with the California Energy
Commission’s (CEC) Proposition 39 Program. SCE also increasingly focused on locational
targeting initiatives in 2014, including SCE’s Preferred Resources Pilot, to test the use of EE and
demand side management (DSM) as a tool to support locational needs in constrained areas. The
DSM portfolio delivered 15 MW of EE in the Preferred Resources Pilot (PRP) region in 2014
through increased marketing and targeting in that area.
While not described as a programmatic activity, SCE also worked closely with the
California Public Utilities Commission (Commission or CPUC) and a large group of interested
stakeholders in 2014 to begin development of an EE Rolling Portfolios structure for future years,
which is expected to increase flexibility and continuity of the EE portfolios in 2016 and beyond.
Provided below are highlights of SCE’s 2014 accomplishments. For further program
detail, please see sections A-O of this report.
7
Residential Programs
In 2014, the Statewide Program for Residential Energy Efficiency effectively reached
both single-family and multi-family customers by providing audits, incentives and rebates, new
construction assistance, and whole home upgrades to over 180,000 residential customers. The
Energy Upgrade California (EUC) Program continued to encourage comprehensive residential
upgrades completing over 700 home retrofit projects in 2014. SCE worked directly with
program participants to identify and resolve application and process challenges to make the
program and customer experience simpler, faster, and more efficient; collaborated with the other
IOUs and Regional Energy Networks (RENs) to redesign the prescriptive participation path; and
partnered with the Lighting Innovation Program to offer free light-emitting diode (LED) lights to
EUC customers that meet a specified qualifications. The EUC Program also developed a
partnership with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, to provide joint incentives to
a subset of lower-income customers near the Sentinel Power Plant in the Coachella Valley,
which is expected to substantially increase EUC projects in 2015, while serving customers that
would otherwise be unlikely to participate.
SCE also examined new behavioral program ideas through the Energy Advisor Program,
exploring ways to test effectiveness and acceptance levels for homeowners, renters, and multifamily property owners, and developing two pilot proposals slated for implementation in 2015
(one pending CPUC approval).
In the new construction arena, SCE revamped the California Advanced Homes Program
to respond to changes in Title 24, and expanded offerings to include plug loads and appliances.
In 2014, SCE continued to serve multifamily customers through the Multifamily EE Rebate
Program (MFEER) focused on a close coordination with the Energy Savings Assistance Program
(ESAP) and other EE Programs, such as Energy Upgrade California Multifamily. The focus was
to create an integrated approach to providing market-rate and income-qualified customers with
energy efficiency measures in a way that simplifies processes, eliminates duplicative functions,
and delivers an improved customer experience. SCE’s dedicated single-point-of-contact served
as a new resource to property owners to help them understand and participate in SCE’s DSM
programs.
8
SCE also advanced improvements in its electronics program design by testing a midstream service provider incentive to target replacement of older set top boxes for televisions. The
successful trial demonstrated a five-fold increase in the rate of energy efficient set top box
upgrades compared to normal replacement cycles.
Nonresidential Programs
SCE's successful nonresidential statewide programs, including the statewide Commercial,
Industrial, and Agricultural EE Programs provided nonresidential audits and related services,
deemed and customized incentives, new construction support, direct installation, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) programs, and continuous energy improvement
offerings. These programs alone delivered EE offerings to over 6,600 nonresidential customers
in 2014.
SCE continued development of new audit tools, including a self-service online tool for
commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers, and new tools to more effectively screen
customers to determine if an in-depth audit is needed. SCE also pursued expansion of pump
testing into the industrial segment, a segment with less penetration due to the high customization
of industrial pump systems.
While deemed and customized programs faced ongoing challenges due to reductions in
claimable energy savings because of updated Title 24 requirements in 2014 and the complexity
of the customized process, SCE focused on solutions to spur participation and deep retrofits. This
focus included the continuation of a comprehensive bonus to encourage deeper energy savings,
consistent with CPUC guidance, and program policy changes designed to encourage customers
implementing more standardized project to participate in deemed programs (in lieu of
customized solutions) in order to reduce customer wait time and simplify processing.
SCE’s Commercial Direct Install Program team also collaborated with SCE's Energy
Leader Partnerships (ELP) to retrofit municipal-owned buildings, while the Continuous Energy
Improvement (CEI) Program launched a new Sustainability Circles pilot, which included Prop
39 customers.
9
SCE’s Nonresidential HVAC Program was recognized by the Association for Energy
Services Professionals (AESP) with an outstanding program award for upstream HVAC program
implementation in 2014. The program also enrolled 55 contractors in its new Early Retirement
offering, and replaced or identified for replacement over 11,000 tons of equipment.
In addition, SCE's On-Bill Financing Program funded over 7001 projects in 2014,
representing over $16 million in loans, and enabling businesses, local governments, and
institutional customers to pursue increasing levels of EE. SCE also worked with the other
investor-owned utilities (IOUs), the CPUC, and the California Alternative Energy and Advanced
Transportation Financing Authority (CAEATFA) to develop a suite of new finance pilots. The
pilots are expected to launch in 2015 and will leverage third party capital to provide financing
options for EE and DSM projects to single family, multifamily, small business, and other
nonresidential customers.
Partnership Programs
In 2014, 123 cities and seven counties participated in SCE's local government
partnerships and 19 partners moved up a tier in SCE's ELP model through demonstrated EE
achievements and commitment to the partnerships, including participation in EE retrofits and
demand response (DR) enrollment.
Additionally, SCE continued the Local Government Strategic Plan Pilot Program, which
helped local governments develop a long-term local government vision and identified specific
EE projects for implementation. The pilots developed 49 energy action plans or EE chapters of
climate action plans in 2014, as well as 11 benchmarking plans, six retrocommissioning plans,
four energy savings analyses for GHG inventories, and a revolving EE fund.
SCE also continued successful Institutional Partnerships in 2014, completing 38
Community Colleges projects, including Prop 39 projects. SCE also participated in a

10
Sustainable Building Working Group, through the State of California partnership, which consists
of agency sustainability managers, with the task of planning and implementing all aspects of the
Governor's Executive Order B18-12.
Third Party Programs
SCE continued to draw upon the strengths of the EE community, including third party
implementers, which provided EE services to a wide array of customer segments including
businesses, industrial customers, health care facilities, universities, and schools. The IDEEA 365
Program launched several interesting new concepts in 2014 (that were selected in 2013),
including the Water Infrastructure and System Efficiency (WISE) Program, which provides
water-energy solutions for all major areas of water (e.g., pumping, water treatment, water
distribution, and waste water treatment) throughout SCE's territory, and the First Fuel AnalyticsEnabled Efficiency Program, which provides “low touch/no touch” audits that identify, enable
and track EE savings behind the meter without on-site audits or device installations.
Crosscutting Programs
SCE's crosscutting programs provided significant resource and nonresource contributions
to the portfolio in 2014. The IOU statewide Codes and Standards (C&S) team played a
significant role in the development, adoption, and implementation of innovative training, best
practices, and tools to support enhanced code compliance with Title 24 building energy
standards. SCE worked closely with the CEC staff to identify and prioritize EE measures for the
2016 Title 24 standards development, advocated changes to Title 20 appliance efficiency
regulations and federal appliance standards, and conducted tactical planning in support of the
CPUC’s residential zero net energy (ZNE) policy goal.
The Technology Resource Incubator Outreach (TRIO) Program, a sub-program of the
statewide Emerging Technologies Program (ETP) continued engaging EE and DR entrepreneurs,
investors, and universities through outreach and forums. The ETP also contributed to the
development, assessment, and introduction of new and under-utilized EE measures. In 2014,
SCE launched an enhanced Emerging Technologies Coordinating Council (ETCC) structure,
which included the addition of new Leadership Team member, the Los Angeles Department of
Water and Power (LADWP), and an increased focus on strategic technology issues.
11
The Statewide Lighting Program also supported both the Commercial and Residential
segments. SCE’s Primary Lighting Program continued to transition the market to LEDs to meet
the CEC’s standards, incenting over 800,000 qualifying products at retailer locations in 2014.
The Lighting Innovation Program also successfully implemented a Midstream Pilot to explore
the untapped electrical wholesale distribution market as a new channel for customer and
contractor incentives for high efficiency LED lighting products.
The Statewide Workforce Education & Training (WE&T) Program provided training,
seminars and workshops to over 16,000 customers in 2014 through SCE’s Energy Education
Centers.
Water-Energy Activities
While SCE’s EE programs are specifically focused on delivering cost-effective electrical
energy and demand savings, some EE measures result in water savings. In particular, measures
in the agricultural and industrial sectors, such as pump testing and agricultural customized
measures, provide water savings as well as EE benefits. Given the severity of the State’s
drought, SCE increased its outreach and focus on promoting water-related EE measures in 2014.
SCE worked with the Commission and other stakeholders to identify important EE program
components to encourage direct and embedded energy savings related to EE measures focused
on reducing water use and supported expansion of future water-energy programs. These efforts
included collaboration with water agencies on WE&T joint efforts, a leak loss detection pilot
under the Local Government Partnership program, and an IDEEA 365 program that enhanced the
existing SCE Pump Test program to ensure that water use efficiency measures. SCE also cocommunicated with the Association of California Water Agencies the drought messaging that
was provided by the California Department of Water Resources during the summer of 2014
(www.saveourwater.com)
Proposition 39 Program Coordination
In 2014, SCE continued close coordination with the other IOUs, municipal utilities, and
the CEC on implementing the Proposition 39 Program, which is administered by the CEC and
provides approximately $550 million per year (beginning fiscal year 2013-2014), for five years
to California K-12 schools and community colleges for EE and renewable projects. SCE's
12
California Community Colleges Partnership coordinated closely with its community colleges to
provide enhanced outreach funding, project development, and technical support for 28 districts
representing 48 campuses. SCE engaged all districts in its territory, and helped California
Community Colleges (CCCs) identify over 100 potential Prop 39 projects, delivering 17.4
million kWh for the 2013-2014 program cycle. SCE also encouraged K-12 school districts to
couple Prop 39 funds with IOU services and incentives, and worked closely with the other IOUs,
the CEC, the CPUC, and other key stakeholders to ramp up for K-12 Prop 39 implementation
and to coordinate SCE programs, including commercial deemed and customized programs and
the third party Cool Schools Program, with Prop 39. Additionally, the Commercial CEI Program
launched the Sustainability Circles pilot, which included a Prop 39 circle, representing eight
public school districts. IOUs also worked closely with the CPUC, CEC, CCCs and other
stakeholders in development of the Prop 39 Zero Net Energy (ZNE) pilot beginning in
November 2014.
Integrated Demand Side Management
SCE’s vision for the effective and comprehensive delivery of energy efficiency is
centered on an unprecedented level of integrated demand side management (IDSM) program
design and deployment, designed to transform the way customers understand, use, and manage
their energy usage. To make this vision a reality, SCE pursued an integrated approach to its
portfolio of offerings and customer engagement, and has initiated a series of innovative IDSM
pilot programs to improve the integration of DR with the EE programs portfolio.
SCE continued to emphasize IDSM throughout the EE portfolio through the online,
integrated residential and small business audit tool, the development of integrated marketing
collateral and campaigns, outreach events, website efforts, and technology integration through
ETP. SCE also continued implementation of integrated pilots, such as commercial new
construction, (including Sustainable Communities) and the development of six ZNE homes
through SCE's ZNE offerings. SCE continued to deliver relevant, customer-specific, integrated
solutions through various channels including targeted marketing campaigns (that include
customer segment-focused plans), customer account representatives, third parties, partnership
programs, retailers, trade professionals, and other strategic alliances.
13
Additionally, SCE expanded upon the statewide marketing, education and outreach
(ME&O) program activities with integrated solutions and community specific local marketing
that will be foundational for customer uptake of future integrated programs through rates and
solutions education, measure adoption, and behavior change.
Conclusion
SCE continues to work closely with the CPUC, state, regional, and other stakeholders to
achieve the State's strategic vision and goals to ensure that: (1) all cost-effective, reliable and
feasible EE measures and actions are implemented in an integrated approach; (2) strategies,
programs, measures and institutional structures provide long-term energy savings; and (3) EE
will generate significant reductions in GHG emissions, as adopted in the California Long Term
Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan). SCE is also committed to improving the
efficiency and effectiveness of its EE portfolio on an ongoing basis through process and
programmatic improvements, as well as policy changes, such as the movement towards a more
flexible Rolling Portfolios structure.
This report describes all of SCE’s EE program activities administered and implemented
during 2014.
2014 ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM OVERVIEW
A. Statewide Program for Residential Energy Efficiency
California's ambitious goal of reaching 13 million existing homes with comprehensive
EE improvements by 2020 requires increasingly-integrated, coordinated, and scaled efforts. In
2014, SCE continued to work with California's other IOUs, publicly owned utilities (POUs),
water agencies, and other organizations in the State to meet these goals. The IOUs also
continued to offer comprehensive activities to reach California's diverse population, climate
zones, and socio-economic classes to tap the economic potential available while advancing the
initiatives of the Strategic Plan.
The 2014 California Statewide Program Residential Energy Efficiency (CalSPREE)
program offered and promoted specific and comprehensive energy solutions within the
residential market sector. The residential portfolio employs various strategies and tactics to
14
overcome market barriers and to deliver programs and services aligned to support the Strategic
Plan, by encouraging adoption of economically-viable EE technologies, practices, and services.
The primary objectives of the program are to:
Facilitate, sustain and transform the long-term delivery and adoption of EE products and services
for single and multifamily dwellings;
Cultivate, promote, and sustain lasting EE behaviors by residential customers, through a
collaborative statewide education and outreach mechanism; and
Meet consumers' EE adoption preferences, through a range of offerings including single-measure
incentives and more comprehensive approaches.
The Statewide Residential HVAC Program delivers a comprehensive set of downstream,
midstream, and upstream strategies that build on existing program, education, and marketing
efforts and leverage relationships within the HVAC industry to transform the market towards a
sustainable, quality-driven market. Market transformation and direct energy savings and demand
reductions are achieved through a series of six sub-programs that make up the comprehensive
program approach.
1. Home Energy Advisor Program
Program Description
The 2014 Home Energy Advisor Program helps customers understand their
energy use, and empowers them to manage it, while guiding them (where appropriate)
toward whole-house energy solutions. This subprogram utilizes behavioral outreach
initiatives and interactive tools designed to engage customers and encourage participation
in innovative initiatives to reduce energy consumption through behavioral solutions,
program recommendations, and applicable IDSM opportunities.
15
Strategies Implemented in 2014
The Home Energy Report is designed to meet the Commission’s established goal
of engaging 5% of all residential customers in behavioral programs by the end of 2014. In
2014, SCE:
ƒ
Met with the Energy Division and consultants to obtain their approval of the
experimental design and implementation approach;
ƒ
Completed the Phase 1 Home Energy Report mailing, which reached more
than 66,000 SCE customers;
ƒ
Developed the experimental design approach for Phase 2 Home Energy
Report mailing in 2014, to reach more than 68,000 customers;
ƒ
Designed and developed the innovative Home Energy Efficiency Survey
(HEES) Enhancement Implementation strategy, targeting customers with high
energy usage in Tier-3 and above rate categories, with a scheduled
deployment in 2014 to reach more than 89,200 customers;
ƒ
Developed straw-policy proposals for future behavior program design with the
statewide program team. These proposals were discussed at the public
Statewide Behavior Workshop held in 2013 to expand the current definition of
behavior program beyond experimental design, comparative energy usage and
ex-post evaluation;
ƒ
Mailed more than 900,000 HEES surveys, targeting high-usage customers and
received close to 13% return rate. Participants received a Home Energy Audit
Report with a list of recommendations to improve EE within their households.
These recommendations were carefully linked to existing residential rebate
programs to motivate actions. These mailings were completed in
collaboration with city partnerships, schools, and Southern California Gas
Company (SCG);
ƒ
Mailed out nearly 1,000 HEES surveys to encourage residential customers to
achieve water conservation actions through conservation and usage questions
16
embedded in the HEES design. These mailings were completed in
collaboration with water agencies and SCG;
ƒ
Engaged approximately 39 schools, reaching over 54,000 students, to
participate in the HEES mail-in and Home Energy Advisor Online Audit tool;
and
ƒ
Developed Home Energy Guide performance tracking metrics to better
monitor customer usage. Home Energy Guide is an online resource design to
assist customers in making the optimal EE purchase decisions.
17
2. Online Buyer's Guide
A) Program Description
The Online Buyer's Guide Program (OBG), or Home Energy Guide, supports
Strategic Plan objectives and provides SCE residential customers with an integrated
guide in which they can find information and tools to overcome market barriers that may
prevent them from purchasing various types of EE products. The program increases
participation in EE programs, customer satisfaction, customer self-service and
empowerment, customer action, knowledge and awareness. It also addresses customer
needs based on a customer’s individual knowledge levels. The Online Buyer's Guide
includes these sections: Technology Overviews, Incentive Program Information,
Shoppers Guide, Savings Information, Product Database and Retailer/ Supplier Locator.

3. Home Energy Efficiency Survey Program
A) Program Description
The 2014 HEES Program was a continuation of the existing HEES program. This
program works in collaboration with the Online Buyer's Guide and Community Language
Energy Outreach programs to provide comprehensive and integrated outreach efforts to
encourage the use of energy audits to promote comprehensive retrofits to achieve deep
18
energy reductions in the residential sector. This program goal is consistent with the
Strategic Plan and IDSM implementation strategies. The HEES Program is used to reach
out to customers in multiple languages through different delivery channels to perform a
variety of energy surveys. The program provides survey results to enable participants to
understand how their energy use varies throughout the year and how their household
compares with other similar households. A multi-language approach enhances the
program's ability to reach California's diverse cultures and provides efficiency
recommendations based on a whole-house system approach. Additionally, HEES
provides information and referrals to other EE programs, solar, water conservation
efforts, DR, and low-income programs, as applicable.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the OBG program:
ƒ
Completed over 84,000 HEES surveys. This is a combination of HEES
mail-in and Home Energy Advisor (HEA) online program results;
ƒ
Continued to launch the HEES surveys for mail-in, online, telephone, and
in-home campaigns to overcome barriers to practicing EE in the
residential population;
ƒ
Provided an EE and water-saving kit (Energy Kit) through SCG to
customers who completed the HEES during the promotion period; and
ƒ
Enhanced HEES creative (artwork) to increase the survey response rate.
4. Statewide Plug Load and Appliances Program
A) Program Description
The Plug Load and Appliances (PLA) program merges the former Home Energy
Efficiency Rebate (HEER), Business Consumer Electronics (BCE), and Appliance
Recycling (ARP) programs. This subprogram develops and builds upon existing Point of
Sale (POS) retailer relationships and includes Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD)
appliance recycling strategies. The PLA program offers rebates and incentives to
19
customers for purchasing and installing high-efficiency appliances (such as EnergyStar®)
and recycling inefficient refrigerators and freezers.
B) Statewide Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the statewide PLA program:
ƒ
The statewide PLA program team held bi-monthly IOU program planning
discussions that were beneficial in allowing collaboration between
statewide teams on specific plans and strategies that positively impacted
the PLA program;
ƒ
The statewide PLA program continued statewide engagement with
numerous stakeholders (including Cal-Plug, Natural Resource Defense
Council, CEC, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, Sacramento
Municipal Utility District, EPA, EnergyStar® and the Consortium for
Energy Efficiency) to increase coordination and collaboration on measure
development and to continue dialogue among IOUs and Commission staff
on future program development, program successes, and future PLA
program opportunities;
ƒ
The PLA team continued coordination with the Western Regional Utility
Network (WRUN)2 to offer a promotion in June 2014. The promotion
focused on combining utility incentives with retailer incentives to provide
customers with a $100 POS discount to further reduce the price of
qualifying EnergyStar® refrigerators; and
ƒ
The PLA program completed the development and publication of the
Residential Solutions Workbook project, an energy measurement and
verification (EM&V) effort to help design and manage residential

utilities working together to provide its retail and manufacturer partners a more collaborative approach to
delivering energy efficiency programs, while increasing the uptake of energy-efficient products in the retail
market.
20
efficiency programs by aggregating and displaying market and energy use
data through a single tool. The tool will be used statewide for planning
future program design, measure development, and to track statewide
consistency.
C) SCE Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the PLA program:
ƒ
During 2014, SCE deployed a summer readiness campaign for all
customers, educating them on ways to manage their electric bills during
summer, and encouraged customers to purchase EE appliances that
qualified for rebates. Summer readiness was promoted through various
media channels (such as direct mail, e-mail, online, newspaper inserts,
digital banner ads, and bill inserts);
ƒ
The PLA program worked with the Foundation for Pool and Spa Industry
Education (FPSIE) to develop and conduct specialized training classes for
pool pumps contractors and installers. Classes focused on the appropriate
installation of Variable-Speed Drive (VSD) pool pumps, energy savings,
and commissioning pumps to operate off-peak; and
ƒ
A specialized marketing incentive was developed to motivate sales
associates to enroll customers in the ARP. The PLA program worked with
Sears to offer associates a $5 spiff for enrolling a customer in the ARP.
This spiff helped increase participation in ARP and helped the program
near its annual unit, kWh and kW targets.
5. Multifamily Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
A) Program Description
The MFEER program offers prescriptive rebates for EE products to motivate
multifamily property owners and managers to install the products. These products could
be installed in common and dwelling areas of multifamily complexes, and in common
areas of mobile home parks and condominiums. An additional objective of the program
is to heighten the EE awareness of property owners, property managers, and tenants.
21
The MFEER Program is continuing to address the ongoing concern relating to
"split incentives," in which the residents lack the incentive to install sometimes costly
measures on the property that would reduce their energy usage because they are not the
owners of the property. Similarly, the property owners lack the incentive to upgrade,
because they do not live on-site and thus do not pay the higher utility bills that result
from inefficient appliances. MFEER was designed to drive this customer segment
toward participation by offering property owners a variety of EE measures and services.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the MFEER program:
ƒ
In an effort to maximize the savings potential and benefits for customers,
MFEER is coordinating with Energy Savings Assistance Program (ESAP)
and EE Programs, such as EUC Multifamily. This integrated approach
combines market-rate and income-qualified EE measures;
ƒ
The IOUs continued to advertise in various apartment industry trade
publications and participated in several trade shows promoting MFEER, as
well as other related programs. As a result, the program has maintained
continued engagement with energy specialists and property management
firms; and
ƒ
SCE expanded its implementation of VSD Pool Pumps across its service
territory. SCE continued to work with various counties within the SCE
territory to streamline the plan check process and associated fees related to
this measure in an effort to remove barriers for adoption.
6. Energy Upgrade California™ Home Upgrade (EUC)
A) Program Description
The EUC Home Upgrade program provides incentives for comprehensive home
upgrades to single-family and multifamily residential customers. The program guides
customers to perform energy savings retrofits using a “whole-house” approach that
allows customers to achieve deeper and more comprehensive energy savings in keeping
22
with the EE loading order. This approach views the building as a set of interdependent
systems that must be considered holistically. The Home Upgrade program is designed to
offer a one-stop approach to whole-house EE improvements. The objectives for the
Home Upgrade program are to introduce contractors and residential customers to the
concept of home performance, help transform the home retrofit market, and drive
participation that will provide customers with, on average, a minimum of 10% and up to
45% annual energy reduction.
B) Home Upgrade and Advance Home Upgrade
To participate in the Home Upgrade Program, customers must work with a
participating contractor to install eligible EE measures to decrease their energy usage.
There are two paths in the Home Upgrade Program: a Home Upgrade path that uses a
deemed/performance hybrid approach and an Advanced Home Upgrade path that uses
comprehensive energy modeling. These paths allow the customer to choose from a
variety of measures that best suit their home and needs. In 2014, incentives for the Home
Upgrade path were capped at $2,500. The cap of $4,500 for the Advanced Home
Upgrade was removed in 2014 (see Strategies Implemented in 2014 for details).
C) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the EUC Home program:
ƒ
Added efficient VSD pool pumps as an allowable measure within
Advanced Home Upgrade;
ƒ
Conducted a joint-IOU effort, in collaboration with CPUC Staff, CEC, and
interested stakeholders, to expand the allowable software modeling tools
for Advanced Home Upgrade. The majority of this effort was performed
in 2014 and is expected to be completed in early 2015.This is expected to
help reduce administrative burden on contractors, to enhance the customer
sales and engagement process, and to improve energy savings prediction
accuracy. An expansion of software modeling tools also opens the door
for future program design enhancements, including the possibility of a
pay-for-performance model incentive and improved real-time evaluation;
23
ƒ
The IOUs continued to streamline program reporting requirements.
Building on 2013 improvements, the IOUs have continued to work closely
with program participants to identify and resolve application and process
challenges through improved desktop review practices and additional
training to contractors;
ƒ
Program targeting efforts identified the customer attributes linked to
propensity to participate and the building attributes (such as age of the
home) tied to higher potential savings. This analysis has been used to
determine target regions for marketing and outreach efforts;
ƒ
The IOUs re-designed and enhanced the program's prescriptive
participation path, in cooperation with SoCalREN. The new Home
Upgrade path replaced both the IOUs' Basic Path and SoCalREN’s Flex
Path to improve on both former offerings; and
ƒ
In order to drive deeper energy savings for more homeowners and to meet
the directives of the CPUC to achieve average annual energy savings of 20
percent in home retrofit projects through Advanced Home Upgrade, the
CPUC Energy Division approved Advice Letter 3052-E, effective on July
11, 2014, accepting the removal of the total incentive cap per project for
the Advanced HEU program.
D) Energy Upgrade California Multifamily Pilot
The EUC Multifamily Pilot is an extension of the existing statewide EUC
Program. The Energy Upgrade California Multifamily (MF EUC) Pilot Program
specifically targets the multifamily housing retrofit market and promotes longǦterm
energy benefits. The SCE program is implemented in coordination with SCG, with SCE
serving the lead utility role.
In April 2013, SCE issued a request for proposal inviting qualified, professional
energy auditing firms to bid on services which include outreach, energy audits, quality
assurance, quantity control, and general program support. In September 2013, SCE hired
the three firms to provide these services in support of the pilot. The three firms selected
24
were TRC Energy Services, Association for Energy Affordability (AEA), and Partner
Engineering & Science / Partner Energy.
E) Pilot Strategies Implemented in 2014
The SCE/SCG pilot program evaluated multifamily properties from a portfolio
perspective, assigned a dedicated single-point-of-contact as resource to property
owners, provided two levels of energy assessments, and leveraged all available
IOU IDSM Programs to help properties reduce their energy consumption;
Properties identified as having deep energy savings potential are identified as
good candidates for the MF EUC Pilot. Upon property owner commitment, they
are subsequently enrolled in the pilot program. Two properties were successfully
enrolled in the program with several others pending property owner commitment;
and
Pilot program includes testing the utilization of the EPA's EnergyStar® Portfolio
Manager, not only to help identify properties with energy savings potential, but
also to view and track results after implementation.
7. California Advanced Homes
A) Program Description
California Advanced Homes Program (CAHP) provides comprehensive support
for saving energy in the residential new construction sector with a cross-cutting focus on
sustainable design and construction, green building practices, EE, and emerging
technologies. Through a combination of education, design assistance and financial
support, the CAHP works to encourage building and related industries to exceed
California’s Title 24 EE standards, and to prepare builders for future changes to these
standards.
B) Program Highlights and Successful Strategies Implemented in 2014
2014 was another successful year for CAHP, which accumulated enough energy
savings goals and unit participation to surpass the program’s targets. The residential new
construction market has continued the improvement seen in 2013, providing the program
good opportunities for productive engagement with the new construction industry;
25
however, the recent and future tightening of California Title 24 standards have kept the
program focused on continuing to improve and enhance its efforts to save energy for
utility customers and to support the State’s ZNE goals.
While weathering an expected dip in enrollment after the implementation of the
updated Title 24 standards released on July 1, 2014, the CAHP aimed longer-term and
launched a revised program model. This major overhaul of the program was designed to
meet the following goals:
x
Establish CAHP as a vehicle for ZNE market transformation in the California
building industry;
x
Include all energy end-uses within a home’s envelope;
x
Create a program that can adapt to new technologies;
x
Encourage advanced building in all climate zones; and
x
Create a program that is simple for builders to participate and simple for
utilities to implement.
Expanding the program model to include all energy end uses in a home is
fundamental for the program to continue to meet its energy savings objectives and to be a
driver to support achievement of the State’s ZNE goal for all new homes by 2020. The
program is now positioned to not only address the Title 24 regulated loads, such as
heating, cooling, and hot water that have reduced savings potential, but also nonregulated loads, such as plug loads and appliances that still have untapped savings
potential.
Since the increasingly-stringent Title 24 standards involve measures that are more
difficult than ever to implement and require new whole-building design changes, the
CAHP also began a strategic program initiative to address these concerns by working
directly with the builders and design teams.
26
8. EnergyStar® Manufactured Housing
A) Program Description
The EnergyStar® Manufactured Housing Program (ESMH) is part of the
statewide Residential New Construction program offering, and addresses new factorybuilt housing not covered under the State's Title 24 energy codes. ESMH is designed to
promote the construction of new manufactured homes that comply with the EnergyStar®
energy efficiency standards, and targets manufacturers, retailers, and homebuyers of
manufactured homes. The key objectives of the program are to capture cost-effective
energy savings and demand reduction opportunities, and to move the industry toward
ZNE.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
Market demand for this type of construction was minimal; therefore, no new
strategies were implemented in 2014.
9. Residential HVAC Quality Installation Program
A) Program Description
The Residential EnergyStar® Quality Installation HVAC Program addresses
residential installation practices to ensure that equipment is installed and commissioned
per industry standards.
B) Strategies Implemented
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Residential HVAC
Quality Installation Program:
x
Revisions were made to the Terms and Conditions Document to allow the
customer to fill in “relationship” field when the customer is designating a
third-party payee for the incentives. This was implemented to reduce the
rate of errors in a situation where the customer designates someone other
than itself as the “Payee”;
27
ƒ
The Contractor Training was reinstated, and SCE offered the first training
sessions since 2011. Two training sessions were held to accommodate the
Quality Installation (QI)-approved programs, Wrightsoft and Elite
Software. A total of 19 contractors attended and completed the training
sessions;
ƒ
The payment (job completion) submittal process was reviewed by vendor
and SCE staff, and a paperless submittal process was implemented. The
new rebate submittal process eliminates all paper submittals and
significantly decreased the processing time;
ƒ
The verification requirements were revised to reflect changes imposed by
SCE’s Compliance Department and to require the implementation of a
four-tier system based on production and pass rates.
10. Residential HVAC Quality Maintenance Program
A) Program Description
The HVAC Quality Maintenance Program addresses maintenance practices to
ensure that equipment is serviced per industry standards and that the maintenance effort
supports the long-term strategic goal of transforming the trade from commodity-based to
quality-based.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
The focus in 2014 was to bolster production by reviewing barriers outlined by
participating contractors. The program began planning a new hand-held data capture
device to eliminate the use of cell phones while on site. The program team also reviewed
and recommended changes to the “Test-In” portion of QM, with the goal of making it an
easier step that would allow contractors to identify potential QM customers without
having to send highly-trained HVAC technicians.
1) Residential Quality Maintenance:
For Residential Quality Maintenance, SCE:

and EnergyStar® Portfolio Manager live workshops, and initiated
development of online workshops at SCE’s Energy Education Centers
which will be available to customers 24/7 once the courses are completed
in 2015; and
30
ƒ
Continued to offer pump tests for customers, which resulted in customer
participation in pumping system-related incentive solutions. SCE also
developed deemed incentives for pumping systems between 25 – 50
horsepower. This enhanced approach will increase the cost effectiveness
of the measure and simplify the customer’s requirements in keeping their
pumping systems operating at peak efficiency.
2. Commercial Calculated Program
A) Program Description
The Commercial Calculated Program offers incentives for customized retrofit
and retro-commissioning EE projects. The program also provides comprehensive
technical and design assistance. Incentives are paid based on the energy savings and
permanent peak demand reduction above and beyond baseline energy performance,
such as state-mandated codes, federal-mandated codes, industry-accepted
performance standards, or existing energy performance, as applicable. New offerings
provide a framework to encourage emerging technologies and deeper, more
comprehensive retrofits.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Calculated Incentives
program:
ƒ
Implemented policy changes to overcome the challenge of increasinglycomplex custom program requirements and project cost. Specifically,
SCE modified program rules such that measures eligible for deemed
incentives are no longer also eligible for calculated incentives;
ƒ
In preparation for updated Title 24 implementation, SCE provided project
developers (internal account management, external trade professionals),
technical reviewers (calculated project reviewing firms), and support
organizations with training on the impacts of Title 24 for project
development and project review;
31
ƒ
Provided technical reviewers with tools and training to ensure a consistent
approach to project review, and implemented a quality control mechanism
to address technical review quality and consistency;

In 2014, SBD coordinated with a number of internal and external stakeholders to
ease the transition required by the updated Title 24, which went into effect on
July 1. For example, SCE developed and posted a number of code transition
resources to energydesignresources.com, SBD’s educational offering, closely
3
If a Calculated or Deemed project uses more than three end uses, then they get a 15% or 20% bonus increase to
their incentive.
4
As filed, Savings by Design is part of the Commercial Calculated Incentives Program. Per Energy Division’s
request, however, SCE reports Savings by Design as a separate sub-program.
32
collaborated with the statewide team to work through challenges, and developed
documents and tool updates in anticipation of the code to facilitate a more
seamless transition;
x
Incorporated alternative baselines into modeling software, which will both
greatly simplify customer participation and significantly decrease review time;
and
x
Realized all energy savings goals statewide.
3. Commercial Deemed Incentives Program
A) Program Description
The Commercial Deemed Incentive Program offers incentives to eligible business
customers to encourage common, standardized EE equipment retrofits. Deemed retrofit
measures have fixed incentive amounts per measure unit, and are intended for projects
that have well-defined energy and demand savings. Projects are typically identified
through utility EE audits, customer communications with local SCE representatives, SCE
contractors, and/or partnerships with equipment vendors and trade allies. Lighting,
Controls, Pumping, HVAC, Refrigeration, Window Film and Food Service equipment
delivered the highest levels of energy savings in 2014.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014

and/or replacement incentives.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Industrial Energy Advisor
Program:
ƒ
Continued development of the BEA online “do it yourself” audit tool.
This enhanced version of BEA will include not only commercial building
types, but also small agricultural and industrial customer properties;
ƒ
Continued development of an end-to-end onsite audit services information
system tool. This tool is designed to simplify and shorten the process of
providing onsite audits by generating a customer-friendly audit report and
filling out necessary incentive program application information, while
maintaining a high level of data integrity;
ƒ
Developed an integrated Energy Audit/Assessment Reporting tool (iEAR)
tool. iEAR provides a basic audit and screens customers to determine if
an in-depth integrated audit is appropriate for the customer;
ƒ
Continued efforts to expand pump testing services into the industrial
segment. Unlike pumping systems in the agricultural and water agency,
the industrial segment poses a unique challenge due to the use of highly
customized systems. These systems are designed, in many applications, to
meet very specific product process requirements; and
39
ƒ
Continued to offer pump tests for customers, which resulted in customer
participation in pumping system-related incentive solutions. SCE also
developed deemed incentives for pumping systems between 25 – 50
horsepower. This enhanced approach will increase the cost effectiveness
of the measure, and simplify the customer’s requirements in keeping their
pumping systems operating at peak efficiency.
2. Industrial Calculated Energy Efficiency Program
A) Program Description
The Industrial Calculated Energy Efficiency Program offers incentives for
customized retrofit and retro-commissioning EE projects. The program also provides
comprehensive technical and design assistance. Incentives are paid on the energy savings
and permanent peak demand reductions above and beyond baseline energy performance,
such as state-mandated codes, federal-mandated codes, industry-accepted performance
standards, or existing energy performance, if applicable.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Industrial Calculated
Energy Efficiency Program:
ƒ
Implemented policy changes to overcome the challenge of increasingly
complex custom program requirements and project cost. Specifically,
SCE modified program rules so that measures eligible for deemed
incentives are no longer also eligible for calculated incentives;
ƒ
Provided project developers (for example, internal account managers and
external trade professionals), technical reviewers (calculated project
reviewing firms) and support organizations with training on the impacts of
Title 24 updates for project development and project review preparation;
ƒ
Provided technical reviewers with tools and training, to ensure a consistent
approach to project review. A quality control mechanism was also
implemented, to address technical review quality and consistency;
40
ƒ
Continued to promote the use of the online application tool, which is now
the primary method customers use to apply for calculated incentives. In a
dynamic program policy environment, this tool supports quality inputs
while minimizing cost impacts of new requirements; and
ƒ
Continued to offer a Comprehensive Bonus opportunity to encourage the
development of projects with deeper energy savings and demonstrated
DSM activities.
3. Industrial Deemed Energy Efficiency Program
A) Program Description
The Industrial Deemed Energy Efficiency Program offers incentives to eligible
business customers, to encourage common EE equipment retrofits. Deemed retrofit
measures have fixed incentive amounts per measure unit, and are intended for projects
that have well-defined energy and demand savings. Projects are typically identified
through utility EE audits, customer communications with local SCE representatives, SCE
contractors, and/or partnerships with equipment vendors and trade allies. Lighting
Equipment and Controls products delivered the highest level of energy savings in 2014 in
this program.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Deemed Incentive
program:
ƒ
Launched measures transitioned from the Calculated Incentive Program;
ƒ
Offered a Comprehensive Bonus opportunity to encourage the development of
projects with deeper energy savings and integrated DSM;
ƒ
Promoted the online application tool, which has become the primary method
to apply for calculated incentives. This tool increases data integrity and
reduces costs; and
41
ƒ
Enhanced the application to include detailed information on where retrofits
are occurring in a facility, which reduces the time it takes for technical
reviewers to identify equipment.
4. Industrial Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI) Program
A) Program Description
The Industrial CEI Program is a non-resource program that offers strategic
planning tools and resources which lay the groundwork for long-term integrated energy
planning, and serves as a launching platform for other utility and non-utility programs
and services. Through analysis, benchmarking, long-term goal setting, project
implementation support, performance monitoring, and ultimately energy management
certification, Industrial CEI aims to transform the market from a "project-to-project"
approach to a continuous improvement pathway. The CEI approach supports the goals of
the Strategic Plan, and also sets the stage for non-energy resource integration, such as
GHG reduction and water conservation strategies.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Industrial CEI Program:
ƒ
Completed nine Industrial CEI projects within the current cycle of the CEI
program. Each participant has indicated they intend to continue with CEI
upon ending their formal CEI engagements with the utility providing the
one-on-one consultative services;
ƒ
Developed a Water Agency cohort model to address the drought, and to
create better partnerships within the water and wastewater industry. Held
focus groups and workshops throughout the year to identify barriers and
address critical elements for successfully implementing energy
management planning;
ƒ
Initiated recruitment with five water agencies, and will seek executive
management commitment and implementation in 2015; and
42
ƒ
Continued to utilize benchmarking tools to provide energy performance
comparisons to similar type industries, thus allowing a better
understanding of overall facility performance, and helping to set
performance improvement targets.
D. Statewide Agriculture Energy Efficiency Program
The statewide Agriculture Energy Efficiency Program offers strategic energy planning
support, technical support (for example, facility audits and calculation and design assistance),
and financial support through rebates and incentives aimed at providing a DSM solution to help
agricultural customers save money and energy. Targeted segments from the agriculture sector
may include agricultural growers (crops, fruits, vegetable and nuts), greenhouses, post-harvest
processors (ginners, nut hullers, and associated refrigerated warehouses), dairies, water and
irrigation districts and/or agencies, and food processing customers.
The statewide Agricultural Energy Efficiency Program includes the following subprograms: the Agriculture Energy Advisor Program, the Agriculture Calculated Energy
Efficiency Program, the Agriculture Deemed Energy Efficiency Program, and the Agriculture
Continuous Energy Improvement Program.
1. Agriculture Energy Advisor Program
A) Program Description
The Agriculture Energy Advisor Program offers a wide and comprehensive
offering of audit services, including: energy assessments, benchmarking, basic and
integrated audits, retrocommissioning, and continuous energy improvement audits for
agricultural customers. This program also includes pump efficiency services (PES),
which is designed to help customers make informed decisions about improving
inefficient pumping systems through pump tests, targeted education, training and
technical support, and renovation and/or replacement incentives.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014

(AG Pilot, formerly referred to as the Agricultural Test Strategic
Approach). This pilot leverages the California Winegrape Growing
Association’s sustainability initiative to deliver EE and other IDSM
solutions to their membership. The results will be measured and analyzed
for increases in efficiency and cost-effectiveness;
ƒ
Continued to offer pump tests for customers, which resulted in customer
participation in pumping system-related incentive solutions. SCE also
developed deemed incentives for pumping systems of between 25 and 50
horsepower. This enhanced approach will increase the cost effectiveness
of the measure, and simplify customers’ requirements in keeping their
pumping systems operating at peak efficiency; and
ƒ
SCE’s pump testing services also targeted agricultural customers in the
Central Valley area, as the severe drought situation forced many
agricultural growers to drill new and/or deeper wells to keep their crops
alive.
44
2. Agriculture Calculated Energy Efficiency Program
A) Program Description
The Agriculture Calculated Energy Efficiency Program offers incentives for
customized retrofit and retro-commissioning EE projects for agricultural customers. The
program also provides comprehensive technical and design assistance. Incentives are
paid based on the energy savings and permanent peak demand reduction above and
beyond baseline energy performance, such as state-mandated codes, federal-mandated
codes, industry-accepted performance standards, or existing energy performance, as
applicable. New offerings provide a framework to encourage emerging technologies and
deeper, more comprehensive retrofits.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Agriculture Calculated
Energy Efficiency Program:
ƒ
Implemented policy changes to overcome the challenge of increasinglycomplex custom program requirements and project cost. Specifically,
SCE modified program rules so that measures eligible for deemed
incentives are no longer also eligible for calculated incentives;
ƒ

professionals), technical reviewers (calculated project reviewing firms)
and support organizations with training on the impacts of Title 24
implementation for project development and project review;
ƒ
Provided technical reviewers with tools and training, to ensure a consistent
approach to project review. A quality control mechanism was also
implemented, to address technical review quality and consistency;
ƒ
Continued to promote the use of the online application tool, which is now
the primary method customers use to apply for calculated incentives. In a
dynamic program policy environment, this tool supports quality inputs
while minimizing cost impacts of new requirements; and
45
ƒ
Continued to offer a Comprehensive Bonus opportunity to encourage the
development of projects with deeper energy savings and demonstrated
DSM activities.
3. Agriculture Deemed Energy Efficiency Program
A) Program Description
The Agriculture Deemed Incentive Program offers incentives to eligible
agricultural customers to encourage common EE equipment retrofits. Deemed retrofit
measures have fixed incentive amounts per measure unit, and are intended for projects
that have well-defined energy and demand savings. Projects are typically identified

the goals of the Strategic Plan, and also sets the stage for non-energy resource
integration, such as GHG reduction and water conservation strategies.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Agriculture Continuous
Energy Improvement Program:
ƒ
Successfully recruited two Agricultural customers, one dairy food
processor and one almond grower/ processing plant. Both customer
engagements were started in August and should be completed in early
2015; and
ƒ
Continued marketing efforts for the program at the World Ag Expo, which
was held in January 2015.
E. Statewide Lighting Program
The 2013-2014 Statewide Lighting Program the Primary Lighting subprogram (formerly
the Upstream Residential Lighting Incentive Program for Basic Compact Florescent Lightbulbs
(CFL), and the upstream component of the Advanced Lighting Program); the Lighting Market
Transformation subprogram; and the Lighting Innovation subprogram.
The Statewide Lighting Program facilitates market adoption and transformation for
advanced lighting products through a number of activities including: 1) assessment of precommercialized lighting technologies, 2) demonstration projects and trial studies for advanced
47
lighting technologies in the early stages of commercialization, and 3) incentives for lighting
measures that have reached a suitable level of commercialization.
Following are descriptions of the three Lighting subprograms and the successful
strategies employed in 2014.
1. Primary Lighting Sub-Program
A) Program Description
This subprogram offers upstream rebates to reduce the cost of EE lighting
products. It introduces new EE lighting products, and strives to influence the future
purchasing and installation behaviors of residential customers. An array of product types,
models, and technologies are offered, including specialty CFLs and LEDs.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
A prevailing strategy for 2014 was to require LED products within the program to
demonstrate performance and packaging characteristics consistent with the California
Quality LED Specification. This was accomplished by requiring products to be of
substantially-higher color quality than the minimum requirement, and by adding products
compliant with the California specification, as they became available. With the advent of
relatively low-cost, efficient LEDs, the program employed the strategy of balancing the
measure mix between LED and CFL measures to achieve targets while aggressively
promoting LEDs.
2. Lighting Innovation Sub-Program
A) Program Description
The Lighting Innovation subprogram evaluates products or program approaches
new to the market, which have the potential of eventually entering the Primary Lighting
Program or Commercial, Industrial, and Agricultural Programs. Lighting Innovation
trials, pilots, and studies are administered to collect data on the sales, installation,
marketing, and other business aspects of the lighting industry, to determine data-driven
recommendations and influence future program designs. Showcases and field placement
projects are conducted, when applicable.
48
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE completed trial studies showcase and demonstrate projects to test the
viability of new product and program approaches:
ƒ
SCE’s Midstream Pilot Program and Study continued to examine the
viability of incentives available to customers for LED products through
electrical wholesale distribution channels. Initial program findings were
positive near the end of 2014. As a result, the SCE Midstream Pilot
Program will be in the process of transition to an independent Midstream
Program in 2015. The Statewide IOU Measurement and Evaluation team
initiated an evaluation of SCE’s and Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E’s)
Midstream Pilot Programs and Studies. The evaluation of the SCE
Midstream LED Distributor Pilot Program report is planned to be
completed by the end of Q1 2015. Additional SCE Midstream Pilot
learnings will be shared in the Statewide Lighting Market Transformation
Program Annual Report;
ƒ
SCE’s Web Trial Program continued to explore the viability of incentive
offerings available to residential customers for LED lamps through
internet retail channels. The trial ended in August 2014, with both positive
and negative program experiences. Detailed descriptions of the Web Trial
experience will be shared in the Statewide Lighting Market
Transformation Program Annual Report;
ƒ
The SCE Sustainable Office Lighting Trial Program and Study Plan was
completed, with input and guidance from the California Advanced
Lighting Controls Training Program (CALCTP) and Energy Division Staff
and expert consultants. The Pilot will be active throughout 2015, to collect
quantifiable project data from lighting control installations from CALCTP
certified and non-CALCTP certified contractors to support CPUC
directives; and
ƒ
The SCE Lighting Innovation – Energy Upgrade California LED Lighting
Demonstration was initiated to encourage contractors and homeowners to
participate in the EUCA program and experience efficient LED lighting in
49
their homes. The purpose of the demonstration is to increase homeowner
and contractor participation in EUCA Home Upgrade projects and
demonstrate a comprehensive approach by using LED lighting to motivate
both homeowner participation and contractor engagement.
3. Lighting Market Transformation (LMT) Sub-Program
A) Program Description
The LMT subprogram encompasses a statewide program strategy that coordinates
IOU efforts to promote efficient lighting technologies and best practices in California. It
entails development of innovative data-driven program strategies to adapt utility lighting
programs to the ever-changing energy and lighting markets in support of the Strategic
Plan. The program tracks, coordinates, and provides collaboration opportunities for
utility, government, and industry lighting market transformation activities. The program
oversees the progression of lighting solutions across utility programs such as Emerging
Technologies, Lighting Innovation, Primary Lighting, and C&S, as well as Commercial,
Industrial, and Agricultural incentive program lighting measures. The program is
particularly instrumental in the development of Lighting Innovation Program concepts,
trials, and demonstrations. Lighting Market Transformation helps ensure efficient
progression of lighting solutions, into and out of customer EE programs.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the LMT Sub-program:
ƒ
Adjusted LMT activities and work products to better align with new
Market Transformation framework;
ƒ
Updated the Lighting Solutions Workbook to better characterize the
market and savings potential for Market Transformation planning
activities. Market Transformation Indicators were developed for LMT to
track changes in the California lighting market over time;
ƒ
Initiated discussions and plans for a 2015 update to the Lighting Activity
Workbook. The Statewide LMT team collected input from various utilities
50
and EE organizations across the West Coast to gather ideas to increase the
value of the workbook and reduce the cost of compilation of the
workbook; and
ƒ
Completed Residential and Commercial Strategy Briefs, articulating the
specific market characteristics, market barriers, and recommended actions
to inform a market transformation story.
Details regarding the Statewide Lighting Program efforts will be provided in the
June Lighting Market Transformation Annual Report.
F. Statewide Finance Program
The Statewide Finance Program is designed to provide customers additional
options for financing EE projects and includes three sub-programs: 1) On-Bill Financing
(OBF) Program, 2) American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA)-Originated
Financing, and 3) New Finance Offerings (Pilots). The programs are offered in
conjunction with other core SCE programs to stimulate and enable higher levels of
customer participation.
1. On-Bill Financing Program (OBF)
A. Program Description
OBF offers zero-interest financing for the installation of qualifying
energy-efficient lighting, refrigeration, and air conditioning measures. Loans are
available to qualifying nonresidential customers, including commercial, industrial,
government, and institutional customers, and are repaid as a line-item on the
customer's electric bill. This program supports the Strategic Plan's commercial
sector goals and strategies. OBF is offered with other SCE programs, including
statewide, third-party, and local government partnership offerings.
B. Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the OMF Program:
51
ƒ
Funded a total of 739 projects, representing $16.4 million in loans during
2014;5
ƒ
Modified internal processes and automated loan documentation to reduce
processing times by nearly 10%, improve data integrity/accuracy, and support
customer satisfaction;
ƒ
Actively participated in ongoing statewide team activities to assess, improve,
and streamline OBF and developed a new statewide reporting template to
facilitate reporting activities with key loan information (e.g., loan fund
activities by segment and measure, loan repayment information); and
ƒ
Adjusted program requirements to align with new Title 24 building codes.
This included system enhancements, loan calculation methodologies and
coordination with incentive programs.
2. The ARRA-Originated Financing Program
A. Program Description
The ARRA-Originated Program provides ratepayer funding to entities that
operate ARRA-funded finance programs. This program was designed to encourage the
implementation of comprehensive EE retrofits by providing access to affordable
financing options. In 2013-2014, SCE proposed to fund two programs:
ƒ
5
EmPower SBC. This Program provides unsecured loans for single-family
homeowners to implement home energy upgrades. EmPower SBC is
administered by the County of Santa Barbara and is jointly co-funded by
PG&E, SCE, and SCG. The program receives funding for various program
Figures represent both new projects initiated in the 2013-2014 cycle, as well as projects committed in the
2010-2012 cycle that were installed in 2014.
52
ƒ
activities such as marketing and workforce training within the Santa Barbara,
Ventura, and San Luis Obispo counties, and provides credit enhancement
funds through a loan loss reserve (LLR)[1] . The program leverages both
ARRA and IOU ratepayer funding to create a partnership with the County, all
eight incorporated cities within the County, the EUC program, and two
competitively selected local credit unions.
California Rural Home Mortgage Finance Authority(CRHMFA)
Homebuyers Fund (CHF).This subprogram would provide residential
energy retrofits through a private financing source to support EE projects for
residential customers, and was designed to leverage a loan loss reserve
supported by IOU ratepayer funds. As set forth below, this subprogram is not
being pursued at this time.
B. Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies:
ƒ
SCE, SCG, and PG&E executed amendments to the agreements with the
lending institutions participating in the emPowerSBC Program to establish
a loan loss reserve backed by ratepayer-funded credit enhancements;
ƒ
The emPowerSBC Program continued to engage customers and
contractors to promote participation in the program. The program closed
five ratepayer-funded loans for residential customers in SCE’s territory
totaling just over $100,000;
ƒ
The emPowerSBC Program expanded eligibility rules in July 2014 to
allow financing of single measures approved by participating utilities,
rather than requiring multiple measures (three or more); and
ƒ
SCE and CHF have mutually agreed not to launch the 2013-2014 CHF
Program due to overlap with one of the new finance pilots (Residential
Energy Efficiency Loan (REEL) Assistance Program, and lack of interest
from financial institutions for this smaller program. SCE has submitted a
[1]
An LLR provides reimbursement to a financial institution only in the event of a default on a qualifying loan, up
to a given percentage on a portfolio of loans. IOUs provide LLR funds and set eligible energy efficiency
measures. Financial intuitions provide capital for EE loans.
53
program implementation plan addendum to remove the CHF Program
from this sub-program.
3. New Finance Offerings (Pilots)
A. Program Description
Per the decision implementing 2013-2014 Energy Efficiency Financing
Pilot Programs (D.13-09-044), the IOUs, along with the California Alternative
Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority, CAEATFA, (a
subdivision of the California Treasurer’s office that will serve as the pilots’
administrator), are developing statewide financing pilot programs that offer
scalable and leveraged financing products and test market incentives for attracting
private capital through investment of ratepayer funds. The pilots include the
following On-Bill Repayment (OBR) programs:
x
Small Business OBR Loan Program
x
Small Business OBR Lease Program
o Non Residential OBR without Credit Enhancements (CE) Program
o Master-Metered Multifamily OBR Program
o Residential EE Finance Line Item Charge (EEFLIC) program (PG&E
only)
These pilots are intended to test whether payment on the utility bill
increases debt service performance across market sectors.
The pilots also include two off-bill programs:
o Residential Energy Efficiency Loan (REEL) Assistance Program
(formerly known as the Single Family Loan Program); and
o Off-Bill Small Business Lease Providers Program.
The pilots will include various forms of CEs for residential properties and
small businesses. The CEs are expected to provide additional security to thirdparty lenders and private capital so they can extend or improve credit terms for
EE projects.
54
B. Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the New Finance
Offering program:
ƒ
The Finance Pilots were expected to launch in 2013, but were delayed
pending approval of the CAEATFA’s request for state legislative
budget authority to act as the CHEEF. CAEATFA received authority
to proceed in July 2014;
ƒ
In 2014, SCE worked with the other IOUs and CAEATFA to develop
the necessary contracts, program implementation plans, tariffs, eligible
EE measure lists, data requirements, and other elements of the Pilots;
ƒ
SCE also collaborated with the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE),
the authorized marketing implementers on the development of the pilot
marketing strategy; and
ƒ
SCE developed major billing system enhancements and related
business processes to enable collection of loan payments and customer
data on behalf of financing institutions.
G. Statewide Codes & Standards (C&S) Program
(1) Program Description
The Statewide Codes and Standards (C&S) Program saves energy on behalf of
ratepayers by influencing standards and code-setting bodies, such as the
California Energy Commission (CEC) and the US Department of Energy
(USDOE), to strengthen energy efficiency regulations, by improving compliance
with existing codes and standards, by assisting local governments to develop
ordinances that exceed statewide minimum requirements, and by coordinating
with other programs and entities to support the State’s ambitious policy goals.
Codes and Standards program advocacy and compliance improvement activities
extend to virtually all buildings and potentially all appliances sold in California.
55
(2) Key Initiatives
x
Development of Title-24 Codes and Standards Enhancement (CASE)
studies, including code enhancement proposals and stakeholder
development, in support of 2016 building codes.
x
Updates to Title-20 CASE studies in support of the Phase 1 rulemaking,
and response to all federal appliance standards rulemakings that impact
California.
x
Continued compliance improvement education and training for building
codes, and expansion into appliance standards.
(1) Successful Program Strategies
Support for state and federal building codes and appliances standards continues to
move California towards residential Zero Net Energy by 2020, non-residential
Zero Net Energy by 2030, and the Governor’s goal to reduce building energy
usage by 50%.
Compliance improvement activities have contributed to Title-24 compliance rates
that exceed 100%, and compliance rates for appliance standards between 80% and
90%.
(2) Impact on Savings
Building efficiency and appliance standard advocacy efforts, and higher than
expected compliance rates, have resulted in a significant energy savings. Net
C&S savings are approximately half of net portfolio savings.
(3) Implementation Challenges
The 2013 Title 24 Code, which became effective in 2014, has been difficult to
implement due to late availability of software, software glitches and subsequent
software updates. In addition, the 2013 version had one of the largest increases in
stringency of any previous code cycle.
Title 24 Code complexity necessitates many additional work aids such as fact and
trigger sheets to explain code intricacies to users.
56
(4) Opportunities Moving Forward
There are several opportunities to improve the quality of advocacy in support of
state and federal building codes and appliance standards through increased
primary research. In addition to further expansion of Title 24 education and
training, significant energy savings may be achieved by expanding support for
appliance standards. New reach codes may be developed as software stabilizes.
1. Appliance Standards Advocacy
The Appliance Standards Advocacy subprogram targets both state and federal
standards and test methods: improvements to Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations
by the CEC, and improvements to Federal appliance regulations and specifications by the
USDOE, EPA EnergyStar®, and the Federal Trade Commission. Advocacy activities
include developing Title 20 code enhancement proposals, participating in the CEC public
rulemaking process, submitting comment letters based on IOU research and analysis in
federal standards proceedings, and participating in direct negotiations with industry.
Additionally, the program monitors state and federal legislation and intervenes, as
appropriate.
Program Highlights
Advocated changes to Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations. Activities
included the following:
x
Participated in several CEC webinars and workshops regarding “Phase 1” topics
rulemaking.
x
Developed and submitted response to CEC’s invitation to participate, a data
request, for 18 products: consumer electronics, lighting and water products,
commercial clothes dryers, air filter labeling, spas and pool pumps, motors and
heaters.

and specification processes conducted by U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s EnergyStar®, and the
Federal Trade Commission.
58
o Participated in several stakeholder meetings during rulemakings and
specifications process, resulting in 38 rulemaking advocacy letters issued
in 2014. The results of these efforts will be determined in future years.
o IOU Advocacy letters issued in previous years influenced rulings on five
Federal Measures taking effect as law in 2014: 1.)Room Air Conditioners,
2.) Residential Refrigerators and Freezers, 3.) General Service Fluorescent
Lamps, 4.) Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts and 5.) Water-and Evaporativecooled Computer Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps.
o Participated in DOE’s Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal
Advisory Committee (ASRAC) working groups with DOE, industry, and
other stakeholders.
2. Building Codes Advocacy
The Building Codes Advocacy subprogram primarily targets improvements to
Title 24 Building Efficiency Regulations that are periodically updated by the CEC. The
subprogram also seeks changes to national building codes that impact California building
codes through ASHRAE and other national groups. Advocacy activities include, but are
not limited to, development of code enhancement proposals and participation in public
rulemaking processes. The program may coordinate with or intervene in ratings
organizations that are referenced in Title 24 (e.g., the National Fenestration Rating
Council, and the Cool Roof Rating Council). These efforts support the governor’s goal to
increase building efficiency by 50%.
Program Highlights
o Supported post-adoption prerequisites to improve future implementation
of 2013 Title 24 building energy and CALGreen standards. Activities
included improvements to the Performance Method software and
development of a software training program, and edits to the CEC
Residential and Nonresidential Title 24 Compliance Manual.
59
o Commenced preparations for the 2016 code cycle to prepare for expected
CEC proceedings. Activities included developing, coordinating, and
providing management support for Emerging Technologies projects that
are collecting energy savings, cost-effectiveness and feasibility
information for the top 4 residential measures planned for the 2016
standards, including improvements to attics, walls, lighting, and water
heating. These measures are critical for achieving Zero Net Energy ready
homes by 2020. Also, worked closely with the CEC staff to identify and
prioritize energy efficiency measures for the 2016 Title 24 standards
development.
o Conducted efforts to harmonize state and national building codes.
Activities included a major rewrite of ASHRAE Standard 189.1 (Standard
for the Design of High Performance Green Buildings) to allow a “dual
path” approach where one path is able to allow above federal minimum
equipment efficiencies without violating federal preemption law. This
standard has also adopted bi-level parking lot lighting controls similar to
those in the 2013 Title 24 in alignment with ASHRAE Standard 90.1
(Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings).
The C&S team has been working with the national energy code
development process to assure that daylighting code requirements are
aligned between the two standards. In conjunction with Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory (PNNL), the C&S team is involved with the process
to require card key controls of lighting HVAC and ventilation of hotel and
motel guest rooms.
3. Compliance Improvement
Following adoption, C&S supports compliance improvement with both Title 24
building codes and Title 20 appliance standards. Compliance improvement activities
complement the advocacy work by maximizing verified savings from codes and
standards that are realized and persist over time. The Compliance Improvement
subprogram targets market actors throughout the entire compliance chain, providing
60
education, outreach, and technical support and resources to improve compliance with
both the building and appliance energy standards. Achieving satisfactory compliance
with the codes is a crucial requirement for capturing the code-related energy savings for
the long-term benefit of society. Broad compliance is necessary to level the playing field
for well-intentioned suppliers and contractors who are otherwise faced with a competitive
disadvantage when complying with regulations. Greater compliance strengthens
voluntary program baselines and provides a solid foundation for future robust advocacy
efforts.

appliance standards.
4. Reach Codes
In addition to mandatory minimum-level codes, the C&S program advocates for
the development and implementation of “Reach Codes” that exceed minimum state code
requirements and may be adopted by local jurisdictions or agencies. The Reach Codes
subprogram provides technical support to local governments that wish to adopt
ordinances that exceed statewide Title 24 minimum energy efficiency requirements for
62
new buildings, additions, or alterations. Support for local governments includes research
and analysis for establishing performance levels and cost-effectiveness relative to Title
24 by Climate Zone, drafting model ordinance templates for regional consistency, and
assistance for completing and expediting the application process required for approval by
the CEC. The subprogram also supports local governments that seek to establish
residential or commercial energy conservation ordinances for existing buildings.
The program also monitors and/or participates in a wide range of activities or
proceedings that have direct or indirect impacts on California regulations including, but
not limited to ASHRAE (formerly known as the American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers), international activities involving Europe,
Asia, Canada, and Australia, voluntary standards such as green building codes, and
ratings organizations such as the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), National
Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), Collaborative for High Performance Schools
(CHPS), and the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Additionally, the
program intervenes in EnergyStar® and other voluntary activities to shape future
regulations or support coordination with voluntary programs.
Program Highlights
x
Commenced efforts to support documenting reach code savings that may
be counted towards local government climate action plan goals. Activities
included initiating the development of a secure cloud-hosted system that
would allow participating Reach Code jurisdictions to import data from
the Performance Certificate of Compliance (PERF-1C) XML files. This
database will allow the IOUs to report aggregated and detailed modeled
energy savings and electric demand and GHG reductions. It will also
allow the various jurisdictions access their own aggregated savings and
reduction data; and
x
Initiated preparation of Cost Effectiveness Studies to support the adoption
of Cool Roof Reach Code ordinances by the City of Los Angeles, City of
Pasadena and County of Los Angeles, respectively. The Studies will
63
address product cost, energy savings, cost-effectiveness and greenhouse
gas reductions (GHG) to support reach code requirements for residential
and nonresidential Cool Roofs in Climate Zones 6, 8 and 9 (located in the
California central coast).
5. Planning and Coordination
The Planning and Coordination subprogram works with the CEC, CPUC,
Emerging Technologies, Workforce Education and Training (WE&T), rebate and other
voluntary programs, to conduct strategic planning in support of the Strategic Plan policy
goals, including Zero Net Energy (ZNE) goals for new construction. As part of the
expanded outreach and communications efforts, the C&S program maintains a codes and
standards collaborative, and continues to facilitate the statewide Compliance
Improvement Advisory Group (CIAG). In addition, the C&S program maintains regular
contact with state and federal code-setting agencies to minimize duplication of efforts and
coordinate activities.
Program Highlights

offerings for building industry community and training for community
colleges on 2013 Title 24 code requirements.
64
H. Statewide Emerging Technologies Program
A) Program Description
The statewide Emerging Technologies Program (ETP) supports the California
IOU EE programs in their achievements of aggressive objectives through three
subprograms:
x
The Technology Assessment subprogram supports the California IOU EE
programs by identifying and assessing the performance of emerging EE
technologies and solutions that may be offered to customers with an incentive.
x
The Technology Development Support subprogram supports efforts to increase
technology supply by educating technology developers about technical and
programmatic requirements for rebated measures.
x
The Technology Introduction subprogram supports efforts to introduce
technologies to the market by exposing end-users to applications of emerging
technologies in real-world settings, and by using third-party projects to deploy
technologies on a limited scale in the market.
ETP uses a number of tactics to achieve the objectives of its three subprograms.
Some of the key tactics are described below, but each tactic may be used to achieve any
of the subprogram objectives, and this list is not comprehensive.
1. Technology Assessments Subprogram
A. Program Description
Through the Technology Assessment (TA) element of ETP, EE measures that are
new to the market (or underutilized for a given application) are evaluated for
performance claims and overall effectiveness in reducing energy consumption and peak
demand. A key objective of these assessments is the adoption of new measures into
SCE's portfolio. Historically, a technology assessment is core to ETP and provides
critical support to EE programs. TAs may use data and information from different
sources to support assessment findings, including in situ testing (conducted at customer
or other field sites), laboratory testing, or paper studies. In addition to other findings and
65
information, assessments typically generate the data necessary for EE rebate programs to
construct a work paper for each measure estimating energy and demand savings over the
life of the measure.
B. Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the Technology
Assessment Subprogram:
ƒ
Continued to collaborate with IOUs and non-IOU partners and scan a wide
variety of sources to identify suitable assessment candidates;
ƒ
Used the statewide database to report project activities on a quarterly basis;
ƒ
Actively engaged the EE Program and other program stakeholders:
ƒ
Transferred acquired knowledge to engineering and design communities.
ƒ
Transferred assessment results to EE programs via SCE's Idea Management
Team (IMT) for adoption as EE measures;
ƒ
Provided information to internal stakeholders from assessments that can help
IOUs' IDSM resource acquisition programs as they develop new measures or
revise and/or integrate existing measures;
ƒ
Used a screening and scoring system to identify the most appropriate TA
candidates;
ƒ
Produced reports describing TA results, conclusions, and recommendations;
ƒ
Coordinated assessments and shared technology information through the
quarterly meetings of the Emerging Technologies Coordinating Council
(ETCC);
ƒ
Held ETCC Open Forums, where developers of new technologies had an
opportunity to highlight their products to ETP; and
ƒ
Successfully identified technologies with verified savings and benefits to the
California IOU programs.
66
2. Technology Development Support Subprogram
A. Program Description
The Technology Development Support (TDS) subprogram provides assistance to
private industry in the development or improvement of technologies. Although product
development — the process of taking an early-stage technology, or concept, and
transforming it into a saleable product — is the domain of private industry, there are
opportunities where IOUs are well qualified (or in a strong position) to undertake
targeted, cost-effective activities that provide value in support of private industry product
development efforts. This support decreases innovator uncertainties and allows the ETP
to have input into the new technologies that are developed. ETP looks for targeted
opportunities to support EE product development and uses several activities to support
technology developers through TRIO (Technology Resource Incubator Outreach)
roundtables and symposia.
TRIO provides support and networking for EE and DR entrepreneurs, investors,
and universities with the goal of providing participants the necessary perspective and
tools to work with IOUs and ultimately introduce new EE measures to the marketplace.
TRIO symposia are intended to educate technology developers on the
requirements that IOUs must apply in considering new technologies for inclusion in IOU
programs.
TRIO roundtables are targeted to a smaller audience and have focused on costeffectiveness, energy management systems, and ET assessments.
Market and behavioral studies investigate customer needs in targeted sectors to
estimate customer reaction to new technologies and solutions. The key activity in which
ETP engages is in communication and collaboration with industry. These activities are
often conducted on an ad hoc basis, as windows of opportunity arise.
B. Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the TDS Subprogram:
67
ƒ
Stayed abreast of statewide lighting and HVAC initiatives;
ƒ
Collaborated with industry directly and through partners, such as the Western
Cooling Efficiency Center (WCEC), the California Lighting Technology
Center (CLTC), The California Plug-Load Center (CalPlug) and First Look
West (FLoW); a Caltech- managed USDOE Clean-Tech competition, to
provide targeted support for technology development;
ƒ
Collaborated and educated innovators from universities and other research
institutions;
ƒ
Collaborated with the ETCC and the other IOUs on various program-related
activities;
ƒ
Continued on-going business relationships with investors who were interested
in funding cost-effective EE measures;
ƒ
Provided TRIO symposium on "how to do business with utilities." This
workshop helped to educate the investor and technology communities on the
requirements for doing business with utilities; and
ƒ
Issued a new competitive Request for Proposals to encourage innovative
technologies or approaches to be implemented as a new third-party program.
3. Technology Introduction Support Subprogram
A. Program Description
The Technology Introduction Support (TIS) subprogram supports the introduction
of new technologies to the market, on a limited scale, through several activities.
x
Scaled Field Placements (SFP) projects consist of placing a measure at a
number of customer sites as a key step toward gaining market traction and
feedback; typically, these measures have already undergone an assessment or
similar evaluation to reduce risk of failure. Monitoring activities on each
scaled field placement will be determined as appropriate;
x
Demonstration and Showcase (DS) projects are designed to provide key
stakeholders the opportunity to "kick the tires" on proven combinations of
68
measures that advance ZNE goals. DS introduces measures at a systems level
to stakeholders, whether they are the general public or a targeted audience, in
real-world settings, thus creating broad public and technical community
exposure and increased market knowledge of these potentially large-scale
projects. Key attributes of a DS project are that it is open to stakeholders and
highlights a systems approach rather than an individual approach;
x
Market and behavioral studies are designed to perform targeted research on
customer behavior, decision making, and market behavior to gain a qualitative
and quantitative understanding of customer perceptions, customer acceptance
of new measures, and market readiness and potential for new measures; and
x
TRIP (Technology Resource Innovation Program) solicits third-party projects
(of up to $300,000) to deploy emerging technologies on a limited scale to the
market.
B. Strategies Implemented in 2014
In 2014, SCE implemented the following strategies for the TIS subprogram:
ƒ
Scanned, screened, and prioritized a wide variety of sources and
coordinated closely with EE Programs for measures suitable for
SFP and DS projects;
ƒ
Developed communication plan to promote project exposure,
stakeholder awareness, and public information dissemination;
ƒ
Launched SFP and DS efforts;
ƒ
Demonstrated the technologies in actual field conditions;
ƒ
Performed primary or secondary research, as necessary, to gain
market insight.
ƒ
Coordinated with the statewide ETCC stakeholders; and
ƒ
Solicited third-party programs and awarded funds to introduce
emerging technologies to the market.
Other Notable Accomplishments in 2014:
69
ƒ
ETCC hosted the ET Summit in October of 2014. The 500+ attendee
conference was successfully hosted by PG&E as lead utility
collaborating closely with other ETCC Leadership Team members.
The theme of the event was ”Accelerating Innovation in Energy
Efficiency.” The event received a positive response, based on attendee
survey feedback, and helped ETCC stakeholders raise, discuss, and
debate several important topics related to bringing new ideas to market
quickly and scaling adoption of those ideas. The event also featured an
exhibitor showcase that allowed several start-up companies and
experienced vendors with new products to display their ideas for
attendees; and
ƒ
Launched an enhanced ETCC structure including the addition of new
Leadership Team member, the Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power (LADWP); restructured the ETCC Quarterly meetings to focus
more on strategic technology issues; and convened the newly cleated
ETCC Advisory Council consisting of 14 representatives from several
key stakeholder organizations.
I. Statewide Workforce Education & Training Program
The Statewide IOU Workforce Education and Training (WE&T) Program represents a
portfolio of education, training, and workforce development planning and implementation
funded by or coordinated with the IOUs. The program includes three subprograms: WE&T
Centergies, WE&T Connections, and WE&T Strategic Planning and Implementation.
In 2014, WE&T met its goals. Additionally, the program continued to consider and
implement enhancements, in order to align with program evaluation and Needs Assessment
recommendations. In May 2014, the WE&T program received a Guidance Plan from the expert
consultant hired to develop a comprehensive approach to WE&T. The program team initiated
meetings with internal and external stakeholders, and EE Programs staff in order to assess,
prioritize and determine the next steps for the recommendations. Below is an overview of the
2014 program highlights by subprogram:
70
1. WE&T Centergies Subprogram
A. Program Description
This subprogram is organized around market sectors and cross-cutting
segments to facilitate IDSM workforce education and training. Energy Centers
represent the largest component of this sub-program. Included in this program are
educational workshops and seminars, tool loans, equipment demonstrations,
consultations, and community outreach events. These activities allow potential
green workforce candidates to explore EE, IDSM technologies, and resource
management techniques.
In 2014, the Energy Education Center Irwindale and the Energy Education
Center Tulare made strategic program improvements to better align with the
CPUC Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan and pending Program
Performance Metrics. The Centers continued to evaluate and implement programs

2. WE&T Connections Subprogram
A. Program Description
The WE&T Connections subprograms promotes EE and other DSM education,
training, and outreach, as well as energy / green sector career awareness (as ageappropriate), along all educational paths from K-12 to post-secondary. Connections
achieves its educational goals and green career pathways by working with communitybased organizations (CBOs), state education agencies, and educational stakeholders to
help promote DSM concepts and career awareness. The sub-program imparts the EE,
DR, and relevant career messages through educational materials, student assemblies,
teacher workshops, and outreach events. Educational materials (K-12) are correlated to
the California Department of Education's content standards. SCE’s WE&T Connections
subprogram is comprised of seven programs: PowerSave Schools, PowerSave Campus,
PEAK, LivingWise, Developing Energy Efficiency Professionals (DEEP), Community
Language Efficiency Outreach (CLEO), and the Mobile Education Unit (MEU). In
2014, SCE’s WE&T Connections subprogram met its goals.
76
B. Strategies Implemented/Continued in 2014
In 2014, all K-12 curricula and materials were updated with DSM concepts and
activities. Additionally, the K-12 curriculum was assessed and updated ensure it meets
California’s core education requirements.
Continued efforts to identify and collaborate with educational institutions, such as
with the California Community College Chancellor’s Office, on opportunities to increase
DSM awareness, knowledge, and skills through the use of instructor training, curriculum
enhancements and training pilots.
C. Connections Subprogram – Highlights:
The K-12 sector programs (LivingWise, PEAK, and PowerSave Schools) met their
student outreach target, as well as their Title 1, teacher training, and outreach and green
career targets.
x
PowerSave Schools developed 15 DSM lessons focusing on Energy Basics,
Energy Audits, Demand Response, Renewables and Green Careers. The lessons
feature a more user-friendly format, embedded assessment tools, and align with
Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). PowerSave
Schools conducted eight professional development workshops in eight school
districts. Workshops included a career road map guide and energy audit training.
Additionally, the program conducted more than 18 EE-related career activities
for more than 590 students.
x
The LivingWise Program distributed 29,363 energy-saving kits to students, of
which 15,660 students were from Title 1 schools. Students and teachers received
a participant guide introducing them to green career profiles and energyefficiency activities.
x
Through the PEAK program, students learned to value energy and promote
sustainable energy use in their homes, schools, and communities through four (4)
core principles: shifting Use Off Peak Hours (demand response), shrinking Use
through Conservation (energy efficiency/conservation), exploring Renewable
Energy (renewable resources and distributed generation) and plugging into New
77
and Efficient Technologies (energy efficiency). Forty-nine (49) out of seventytwo (72) participating schools were Title 1.
x
Developing Energy Efficiency Professionals (DEEP) was implemented at three
California Community Colleges and engaged 11 interns in projects and activities
to advance student green career awareness and exploration, and to prepare
students for careers in energy efficiency and sustainability. Interns developed
newsletters focused on energy efficiency and sustainability and distributed them
to approximately 600 students on campus. Additionally, in collaboration with the
U.S. Green Building Council – L.A. Chapter, the DEEP program hosted a tour of
the Redondo Beach Unified School District Solar Project, in which six guest
speakers spoke to 120+ students in Environmental Technology 101 class about
green careers.
x
The Mobile Energy Unit program continued its presence throughout SCE’s
service territory attending 105 events, including the LA County Fair, while
educating customers on residential energy efficiency tips, programs, and rebates.
Throughout the year, the program reached over 26,000 people and collected close
to 400 completed CARE applications from customers.
x
The Community Language Efficiency Outreach program reached out to SCE’s
language-dependent customers in Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Spanish,
through the use of energy efficiency seminars at local venues, as well as the
hosting of booths at local community events. Through the end of the year, a
total of 69 seminars were conducted, and 109 booths were hosted.
x
The PowerSave Campus statewide program continued its presence in SCE's
service area with six campuses and twenty-nine interns. In 2014, a vendor
survey found that 93% of interns are focusing on the energy and sustainability
field and 77% credited the PowerSave Campus program experience as an
influence. Approximately twenty-four student-led campaigns produced
measurable awareness and behavior changes toward energy efficiency and the
environment. Examples of student-led campaigns/events include career
78
panels, energy saving competitions, workforce training events, and hands-on
trainings. A water-energy nexus panel was hosted on campus to help students
understand the correlation between water and energy. The program was
recognized as the 2014 California Internship & Work Experience
Association's (CIWEA) Employer of the Year.
3. WE&T Strategic Planning and Implementation Subprogram
A. Program Description
The WE&T Strategic Planning subprogram involves management and execution
of several strategic statewide planning tasks identified in the Strategic Plan such as:
forming an IOU/WE&T task force, holding annual WE&T public workshops, conducting
a Needs Assessment, and hiring an expert consultant to develop a comprehensive
approach to WE&T.
B. Strategies Implemented / Continued in 2014
In 2013, the IOUs hired an expert consultant to develop a comprehensive
approach to WE&T for the EE programs, in line with the Strategic Plan and the Needs
Assessment. In May 2014, the expert consultant finalized its recommendations in the
document Workforce Issues and Energy Efficiency Programs: A Plan for California’s
Utilities (Guidance Plan). SCE considered these new recommendations along with
findings from the Needs Assessment and WE&T program evaluation when prioritizing
and refining existing program activities, as well as during planning discussions around
efforts that should be initiated in 2015.
To better understand potential opportunities, SCE (along with the California
IOUs) met with a number of internal and external stakeholders. For example, the
California IOU team conducted collaborative planning discussions with educational
institutions, such as the California Community Colleges Energy Efficiency and Utility
Sector Navigators and the California State University (CSU), Office of the Chancellor.
These collaborative planning discussions provided an opportunity for both the IOUs
(from both a statewide and a local level) and the educational institutions to better
understand mutual WE&T objectives, current activities, potential issues, and future
79
opportunities. As a result of these types of discussions, the IOUs were able to identify
and move forward with collaborative opportunities, such as working with the Community
College Chancellor’s office in order to provide a class for Community College Instructors
on Title 24 updates.
SCE also continued to maintain its focus on sector strategies. SCE led
development efforts for the Statewide WE&T HVAC Sector Strategy, whose mission is
to collectively design and implement a dynamic workforce development partnership
program aligned with California’s energy goals for HVAC Quality Installation and
Maintenance. The WE&T HVAC Sector Strategy working team began the process of
identifying leads for each area of focus, along with detailed goals, milestones, and
deliverables, while outlining existing supporting activities. Moving forward, the IOUs
will be working towards statewide implementation throughout 2015.
The Regional HVAC Sector Strategy, which is sponsored by the California
Community College Chancellor’s Office, is another Sector Strategy effort specific to
SCE’s service territory. This Strategy aligns with the WE&T HVAC Sector Strategy,
and is in development for statewide implementation. The Strategy aims to sustain a
pipeline of well-qualified students clearly targeted for HVAC jobs, leveraging regional
community college HVAC programs throughout the IOUs’ service territories. Through a
holistic approach, this strategy will engage industry stakeholders to guide efforts,
facilitate faculty professional development, establish consistencies in student learning
outcomes, expand training labs, and integrate workforce investment board (WIB)
capabilities for student assessment, support services and placement into employment.
This strategy also aims to build a framework of stackable credentials that can provide
pathways for industry-recognized certifications. While this effort is initially focused in
Southern California, the IOUs hope it will serve as a model for the rest of the state,

programs.
J. Statewide Marketing, Education & Outreach (SW ME&O) Program
1) Program Description
80
On May 10, 2012, the Commission issued D.12-05-015, and in it described EUC as the
“statewide umbrella brand for energy information and encouraging DSM actions.” 6
D.12-05-015 stated that messages that are within the umbrella brand “should not be
limited to energy efficiency, and should also include generalized energy education and
awareness, such as information related to demand response, dynamic rate options, enabling
technologies, climate change impacts, the Energy Saving Assistance Program, distributed
generation investment, smart grid upgrades, and any other general impacts of energy use for
individuals or for the state as a whole.”7
On December 27, 2013, the Commission issued D.13-12-038 establishing the SW ME&O
program for the 2014 and 2015 cycle. On page 73, D.13-12-038 also adopted a “governance
structure that, while leaving the details of running the statewide marketing campaign to CSE,
also provides for strong oversight by the Commission and the CEC, while also allowing the
utilities and others to provide collaborative input and advice.”
D.13-12-038 identified the IOUs’ and SoCalREN’s responsibilities: provide information
to CCSE and the marketing firm in a timely manner; participate in the EM&V roadmap for
marketing; coordinate with CSE on local and statewide marketing activities; and raise any issues
with the semi-annual marketing plans proposed by CSE. The Decision also ordered PG&E to
serve as the fiscal manager through a contract with CSE, on behalf of the IOUs, without
exercising control of, or modifications to, the overall design of the 2014-2015 Statewide ME&O
program. PG&E and CSE finalized the contract on February 18, 2014.
2) Strategies Implemented in 2014
Since the Decision, CSE has filed semi-annual plans highlighting the concepts it intends
to share with identified target audiences as well as the tactics and channels it plans to use to
reach each target audience. The multi-cultural advertising campaign, a comprehensive website,

retail education, community-based outreach and education, digital activation, and social media
officially kicked off on May 21, 2014.
The IOUs consistently collaborate with CSE on all marketing phases from the
development of strategy and ad agency briefing documents through creative development and
execution to maximize the statewide messaging for the benefit of ratepayers. The IOUs have
provided comments on items ranging from the overall semi-annual integrated communications
plans and brand architecture proposal to tools like the EUC website and even specific tactics
such as the retail engagement and community based outreach strategies.
K. Statewide Integrated Demand Side Management Program
1. Program Description
The Strategic Plan recognizes the integration of DSM options, including EE, DR, and
distributed generation, as fundamental to achieving California’s strategic energy goals. To
support this initiative, the IOUs have identified IDSM as an important strategic DSM policy
priority and have proposed a series of activities, pilots and other programs in response to the
Strategic Plan DSM Coordination and Integration Strategy.
An IOU and Energy Division Statewide IDSM Task Force was formed in 2010 and has
continued coordinating activities that promote, in a statewide-coordinated fashion, the strategies
identified in the Strategic Plan and the eight integration directives described in the EE decision
as follows:
1. Development of a proposed method to measure cost-effectiveness for integrated
projects and programs including quantification and attribution methods that include
GHG and water reduction benefits and the potential long-term economic and
electric/gas hedging benefits.
2. Development of proposed measurement and evaluation protocols for IDSM programs
and projects.
3. Review IDSM-enabling emerging technologies for potential inclusion in integrated
programs.
82
4. Development of cross-utility standardized integrated audit tools using PG&E’s
developed audit tools as a starting point.
5. Track integration pilot programs to estimate energy savings and lessons learned and
develop standard integration best practices that can be applied to all IOU programs
based on pilot program evaluations and the results of additional integration promoting
activities (i.e., EM&V and cost-benefit results).
6. Develop regular reports on progress and recommendations to the CPUC.
7. Organize and oversee internal utility IDSM strategies by establishing internal
Integration Teams with staff from EE, DR, DG, marketing, and delivery channels.
8. Provide feedback and recommendations for the utilities’ integrated marketing
campaigns including how the working group will ensure that DR marketing programs
approved as Category 9 programs are coordinated with EE integrated marketing
efforts.
2. Strategies Implemented in 2014

ƒ
The IOUs submitted four, joint quarterly reports for 2014, including an Executive
Summary section, to provide Energy Division staff with updates on the eight IDSM
directives. All quarterly reports were uploaded and available for viewing on Energy
Efficiency Groupware Application (EEGA).
ƒ
The statewide IDSM Task Force held regular coordination phone calls to review the
status of the various support activities for this IDSM initiative.
83
ƒ
The IOUs have delivered in support of their programs extensive IDSM local
marketing efforts with integrated collateral pieces, outreach events, and website
efforts to residential and business customers that promote multiple programs across
EE, DR, DG and/or Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).
ƒ
In addition to the meetings described above, the IOUs have coordinated on a
statewide basis in several areas:
o The statewide Online Integrated Audits team continues to coordinate to
deliver a consistent online integrated audit tool that works with each IOU
interface and educates customers on managing their energy use costs.
o The Onsite Integrated Audits team continues to collaborate to share
approaches and best practices. The IOUs continue to offer onsite integrated
audits to small, medium and large customers.
SCE’s IDSM Efforts Included:
x
WE&T Centergies: External classes and curriculum with IDSM content offered
through the Energy Centers. Throughout 2014, SCE continued to work on improving
the quality of its integrated curriculum offerings. In addition, SCE continued to
evaluate each of the IDSM classes to determine how they can be continuously
improved to better meet the IDSM definitions and to refine the screening criteria for
determining whether classes should be considered integrated.
x
Integrated Marketing: Delivered numerous integrated marketing collateral pieces,
campaigns, outreach events, and website efforts – over 20 for business customers and
over 30 for residential/smaller business customers. The SCE Summer Readiness
campaign included water conservation messaging as well to integrate the waterenergy nexus opportunities for mitigating the California drought.
84
x
Emerging Technologies: Organization and hosting of the Emerging Technologies
(ET) Summit to discuss EE, DR, customer-facing smart grid, and related topics with
thought-leaders in ET. All sessions were integrated to include a joint conservation for
participants that would increase IDSM technology adoption.
x
Integrated Training and Knowledge Transfer: SCE designed and conducted its
annual IDSM submission 2014 that included BCD representatives, program team
members and marketing representatives to ensure CPUC compliance with the
Statewide IDSM program, increase knowledge and awareness on Integrated Projects,
and to enhance communication between BCD, IDSM Operations and Offer
Management and Marketing departments. The event leveraged past training
approaches from SCE and other IOUs, was attended by approximately 200 employees
and IDSM service providers, and received high satisfaction ratings from survey
respondents.
x
Identifying and Leveraging Best Practices: Continuing to identify best practices for
delivering integrated projects in the field that include (but are not limited to) knowing
the customer, program participation history and their industry to offer the right
solutions, meeting the customer in person so other measures can be identified and
recommended from visual inspection, and creating a team approach that includes the
appropriate subject matter experts, along with customer decision makers and
corporate representatives as appropriate.
85
L. Local Government Partnerships8
1. Energy Leader Partnership Program
The Energy Leader Partnership (ELP) Program provides support to local governments to
identify and address EE opportunities in municipal facilities, take actions supporting the
Strategic Plan, and increase community awareness and participation in demand side management
opportunities. A key goal of SCE's local government partnerships is helping cities and counties
lead by example in addressing EE first in their own municipal facilities. In addition, the program
strives to expand the policies and the energy management capacity of local governments to
maintain a focus on long-term sustainability. During 2014, 123 cities and seven counties
participated in the ELP model. 19 ELP partners moved up a tier in SCE's ELP model during
2014 through demonstrated EE achievements and commitment to the partnerships.
Additionally, in 2014, in response to an Energy Division request, SCE transitioned
several county programs (currently part of the Intuitional Partnership program) into the Local
Government Partnership Program, for reporting purposes. This modification is intended to group
all local government activities into one category, for ease of review and evaluation. With the
exception of expanding these programs to include a Direct Install option, the programs did not
change structurally, but are reported in the local government category, described below.
In addition to the Energy Leader Partnership Program, SCE implements Local
Government Partnership Pilots, designed to provide local governments additional opportunities
to implement more involved Strategic Plan activities, such as development of the EE chapters of
climate action plans and reach codes.
8
Although SCE, the other IOUs, and the participating local government entities utilize the term “partnerships” to
describe the energy efficiency alliances formed, none of the participants have formed a legal partnership with
SCE or any other entity through participation in these programs.
86
2. Partnership Strategic Support

3. State of California Energy Efficiency Partnership
A) Program Description
The State of California Energy Efficiency Partnership is a statewide program
designed to achieve immediate and long-term peak energy demand savings and establish
a permanent framework for sustainable, comprehensive energy management programs at
state facilities served by California's four large IOUs. This is accomplished by
collaborating with the Department of General Services in establishing an ESCO pool to
help facilitate implementation of EE projects. In addition, the revival of the Department
of Finance Energy $Mart program will provide financing for projects. This level of
engagement and establishment of infrastructure are important in achieving immediate EE
savings along with long-term sustainability.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
Administrative Successes
ƒ
With IOU support, the Department of General Services successfully
established an ESCO pool for its Statewide Energy Retrofit Program and
ensured that RFPs issued to the ESCOs included EE and utility incentives
as an integral requirement for project proposals.
122
ƒ
The IOUs participated in the Sustainable Building Working Group, a State
of California working group that consists of agency sustainability
managers, with the task of planning and implementing all aspects of B1812, the Governor's Executive Order. The IOUs actively supported the
State’s benchmarking effort that allowed state agencies to meet their
deadlines.
ƒ
SCE continued its regional level approach to identifying EE opportunities
rather than relying on the Department of General Services' Statewide
Energy Retrofit Program for project sourcing. This regional approach

Completed energy audits to be presented to school and district personnel
to increase participation in the program; and
ƒ
The Cool Schools Graduate Initiative was launched with a few school
districts as the initial participants. The Initiative helps schools to identify
energy savings potential through no touch/low touch audit analysis and
thus help the schools develop energy action plans that could be further
implemented. The Initiative was well received by the participating school
districts at the beginning of the cycle, but since the launch of Proposition
39 (Prop 39), K-12 public schools have shifted their focus to developing
expenditure plans for Prop 39. As a result, participants have not competed
the entire cycle of the Graduate Initiative.
14. Commercial Utility Building Efficiency
A) Program Description
Commercial Utility Building Efficiency targets privately-owned commercial
office buildings for an equipment incentive-centered plan enabling the program to
introduce both EE and DR measures that have traditionally had a low degree of
commercial office market penetration. The program provides comprehensive energy
audits and financial projections from in-house engineering staff, and the internal and
external funding sources of the ESCO model to a market where lack of capital has
traditionally been a significant barrier to the upgrading of capital equipment. This allows
135
for extended repayment periods, positive cash flows, and low-to-no net up-front cost.
The program also provides:
x
Comprehensive EE services to commercial multi- and single-story office
buildings on a first-come, first-served basis, and

A) Program Description
The IDSM Pilot for Food Processing Program is a non-resource program.
Industry, trade allies, and other partners promote integrated energy management solutions
to end-use customers in the food processing and refrigerated warehouse market segments.
The program's integrated approach combines audits for traditional measures, such
as EE retrofits and upgrades, with strategies to assist customers in managing or reducing
their energy demand during peak periods. By combining these approaches, the customer
receives a comprehensive solution for managing energy costs. This helps SCE respond to
peak energy demand.
While the program implementation focuses on EE, it also emphasizes integrated
solutions in proper sequence (EE solutions followed by DR solutions) to support the most
cost-effective and satisfactory energy and financial solutions for all customers. Each
project receives a comprehensive DSM audit that provides recommendations on how to
138
implement DSM and on the channels, trade allies, and specific SCE programs through
which the measures will be installed.
B) Strategies Implemented in 2014
ƒ
Due to lack of conversion from audits to actual IDSM projects, the
program was closed out in Q1 2014; and
ƒ
All pending activities in the program were completed in Q1 2014.

SECTION 1: ENERGY SAVINGS
Table 1 9
In 2014, the following programs and program strategies were successfully implemented
and contributed greatly to the portfolio energy savings results:
Primary Lighting Program
In 2014, the program surpassed its KWh, kW, and Program Performance Metrics (PPM)
targets and served the larger portfolio in achieving its goals. The program's success relied
heavily on strategies to allocate upstream incentives in a way that used high-cost efficient CFL
measures to augment the aggressive transition to LEDs, which were comparatively low costefficient measures with great future potential. The ratio of LED incentives in the program grew
59% compared to the previous year. Of LED products, SCE made sure only those consistent
with the Voluntary California Quality LED Lamp Specification were eligible for the
program. SCE led an initiative to update and revise that LED Specification document, and the
CEC implemented all of SCE’s recommendations.
9
The data shown in this Annual Report is based on SCE's ex ante savings, adjusted for actual installations,
consistent with the ex ante values and processes adopted by the CPUC in D.11-07-030.
140
Onsite retailer inspections have been a quality control for many years. But in 2014 SCE
implemented enhanced follow-up inspections to further improve the performance of
retailers. Each retailer that was identified as a good candidate for follow-up was visited by
program representatives. Additionally, those retailers were provided additional training to
educate them about compliance requirements, provide tips for increasing sales rates, and
reinforce persistence of participation quality.
Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Deemed Program
This Program continues to deliver a solid performance every year. Efforts that
contributed to the Deemed program performance include Title 24 implementation. In order to be
eligible for the 2008 standards, customers were driven to action prior to the implementation of
the 2013 updated standards (effective July 2013). This leant to more activity in the program. An
additional driver of strong performance was due to trade allies working successfully along with
SCE Energy Managers and customers to implement energy savings projects. The Program
communicates that only the applicable LED measures (screw-in lamps) will be transitioning out
of the Deemed program and into a distributor Upstream program model in 2015. Continued
communication of new opportunities includes:
4th Quarter 2014:

x
Integral LED PAR20 Lamps
st
1 Quarter 2015:
x
LED Street Lighting
x
Electronic Refrigerant Injection Control
x
Ag Pump System Overhaul 25-50HP Deemed
Commercial Direct Install Program
In 2014, the program achieved significant energy savings and made substantial
contribution to the portfolio's energy savings by retrofitting approximately 15,800 small business
141
customers. The program continued targeting small business customers up to 199 kW.
Commercial Direct Install continued its collaboration with SCE Business Customer Division
(BCD), Local Public Affairs (LPA), and Partnerships to maximize program awareness and to
stimulate greater participation. This collaborative effort continues to be a significant element in
the success of the program.
Energy Advisor
In 2014, the Home Energy Advisor (HER) program was tasked to implement multiple
policy driven sub-programs, including a behavior program to meet the mandated 5% target for
residential customers (Decision 12-11-015). To meet this requirement, SCE's behavior program
implementation included: 1) experimental design, 2) comparative energy usage, and 3) ex-post
evaluation. A typical behavior program deployment consisted of six mailings over a span of one
year. For SCE, this requirement translates to 215,000 residential customers for 2013-2014 and
2015. In 2014, SCE completed Home Energy Report (i.e., Opower-1) implementation and
associated ex-post evaluation for claimable energy savings. In 2015, SCE will be making expost claimable energy savings for Opower-2 and Home Energy Efficiency Survey Enhancement
implementations. In 2015, the Home Energy Report implementation will continue with Opower3 mailings.
Savings By Design
In 2014, SBD surpassed its kWh and kW targets. The program’s success relied on a
proven, two-part market transformation strategy. The first is to leverage long-standing
relationships with the architectural and engineering design community to provide technical
support and financial resources to influence the design of high performance, new construction
projects. The second is to influence owners and tenants to buy down the cost of initial
investments in whole-building, incremental efficiency that will be earn a substantial return over
the life of the building.
SCE explored expanding its offering in the leased office-space/tenant improvement
market (SBD Office) this year, as well as continued its practice of integrating DR in new
construction through its IDSM efforts. The program continues to support education and the
142
development of design briefs and educational materials through its WE&T sub-program, Energy
Design Resources, and associated web site.
143
SECTION 2: EMISSION REDUCTIONS
Table 2 10
This section describes programs and program strategies that were successfully
implemented during the past year that contributed to the emissions reductions reported in the
table above.
SCE embraces the fact that EE is the utility sector's first and most cost-effective response
to global climate change, and SCE is firmly committed to making major contributions to
California's climate change commitments. As a result of such a commitment, SCE's programs
are designed to maximize energy savings results, and therefore are maximized to reduce GHG
emissions as well. SCE's most successful programs and program strategies are described in
detail in Section 1 above.
The Commission has mandated that the utilities report their results using the E3
Calculator tool. This tool includes many imbedded calculations, such as avoided costs and
emission factors, all of which have been approved by the Commission. Pursuant to the
Commission's authorization, SCE entered its results into the E3 Calculator tool and determined
10
The data shown in this Annual Report is based on SCE's ex ante savings, adjusted for actual installations,
consistent with the ex ante values and processes adopted by the CPUC in D.11-07-030.
144
the amount of emission reductions attributed to the successful implementation of the 2014
portfolio of EE programs. These results are shown in the table above.
SCE, in the following section below, provides a brief explanation of the assumptions
used in the calculations, including the emission rate used, gas combustion type, and net-to-gross:
The environmental benefits (annual and lifecycle CO2, NOx, and PM10 reductions) in
this document are pursuant to the values adopted in D.05-04-024, as developed by Energy and
Environmental Economics, Inc. (E3) and produced in their 2004 Report. In April 2010, the
Commission issued D.10-04-029 which updated the price of CO2 to $30 per ton.
E3 calculated the avoided environmental cost, or emissions costs, as the sum of NOx,
PM10, and carbon emission (CO2) costs, increased by marginal energy losses for each time of
use (TOU) period. E3 estimated the emissions avoided-cost streams by multiplying the costs per
pollutant (on a yearly basis) by the emission rate (per hour of the year). The emissions costs
vary by voltage level, hour, and year.
The NOx costs ($/MWh) are based on California offset prices generators must pay for
NOx emissions, and the estimated emission rate of NOx at the implied heat rate of the market
price. The NOx cost per MWh of energy saved at the customer site is increased by the
incremental energy losses in each TOU period between the end use and the bulk system. In
Period 1, when the forward market prices of electricity are based on NYMEX forward market
prices, the assumption is that these prices already include the cost of NOx emissions so this value
is equal to zero in Period 1.
The PM10 costs ($/MWh) are computed similarly to the NOx costs, with the emission
cost based on the California PM10 market prices and the estimated rates of emissions by the
implied heat rate. The PM10 costs are also assumed to be included in the NYMEX forward
market prices.
The CO2 costs ($/MWh) are valued at $30 per ton, as prescribed in D.10-04-029.
The environmental benefits utilized in the cost-effectiveness analysis of the programs
herein are only applicable to the reporting of EE programs. The factors utilized in the
development of these environmental benefits were agreed upon specifically to reflect an
145
appropriate and approximate value for the reduced energy savings due to EE programs. As such,
these environmental benefits should not be used in any other context and should also be
reviewed for future use in EE program planning and evaluation.
The emission reduction values for SOx are not included in the environmental benefits
(annual or lifecycle) in this document; as such values were not included in D.05-04-024, as
developed by E3 and produced in their 2004 Report.
These numbers are consistent with the current developments in the Green House Gas
Proceeding currently open before the Commission or its successor proceeding (R.06-04-009).
The environmental benefits utilized in the cost-effectiveness analysis of the programs
herein are as adopted for the EE programs only and are currently applicable to the reporting of
EE programs. The factors utilized in the development of these environmental benefits were
agreed upon specifically to reflect an appropriate and approximate value for the reduced energy
savings due to EE programs. As such, these environmental benefits should not be used in any
other context and should also be reviewed for future use in EE program planning and evaluation.

through a competitive bid solicitation.
148
SECTION 4: COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Table 4 12
This section provides a description of what each metric means in terms of the overall
portfolio's progress in producing net resource benefits for California ratepayers.
The Total Resource Cost Test (TRC) measures the net benefits of a program as a resource
versus the participants' costs and program administration costs. TRC Net Benefits (Net Rbn) are
the difference (result) from subtracting the Total TRC costs from the Total Resource Benefits.
The Total Resource Net Benefit is a measure of the total resource benefits from a measure or
program, as derived by multiplying the energy savings by the appropriate avoided costs and
reduced by the net-to-gross ratio. Total TRC Costs shown in the tables include the sum of the
total administrative costs and the incremental measure or participant cost. The TRC costs also
represent the changes to the TRC test made in Decision 07-09-043.
The Program Administrator Cost (PAC) Test measures the net benefits of a program as a
resource versus the total program costs, including both the program incentive and program
administration costs. PAC Net Benefits are the result of subtracting the Total PAC costs from
12
The data shown in this Annual Report is based on SCE's ex ante savings, adjusted for actual installations,
consistent with the ex ante values and processes adopted by the CPUC in D.11-07-030.
149
the Total Resource Benefits, Net (RBn). The Total Resource Net Benefit is a measure of the
total resource benefits from a measure or program, as derived by multiplying the energy savings
by the appropriate avoided costs and reduced by the net-to-gross ratio. Total PAC Costs shown
in the tables include the sum of the total program administrative and incentive costs.
The following provides a brief explanation of the assumptions used in the calculation,
that is, incremental measure costs used and how rebates (transfers) were applied.
The cost-effectiveness tables provided in this report reflect a summary of the costeffectiveness calculations developed for SCE's 2014 programs. These tables provide energy
savings and program costs associated with activity in 2014.
Pursuant to Policy Rule IV.11., to the extent possible, the assumptions that are used to
estimate load impacts (for example, kWh and kW savings per unit, program net-to-gross ratios,
incremental measure costs, and useful lives) in the calculation of the TRC and PAC tests are
taken from the Database for Energy Efficient Resources (DEER) 2008 v2.05. For measures
where the required load impacts for cost-effectiveness test inputs were not available in DEER,
SCE has developed work papers that are approved in the process outlined in D.11-07-030.
Units (Number and Definition)
Measure of the unit counts are displayed as collected in program tracking databases
during 2014. The definition of a unit is tailored to the specifications of each individual measure
offered by a program.
Energy and Capacity Savings (Per Unit and Total)
Annual program energy and capacity reductions are derived from ex ante estimates of
energy and capacity savings. Annual program energy and capacity reduction estimates for the
programs are the result of a summation of measure-level savings from the measures installed as a
result of the 2014 programs. The measure-level savings information used to calculate the 2014
program results are based upon estimates contained in DEER 2008 v2.05. If DEER does not
contain an estimate, SCE's energy and capacity savings are documented in SCE's workpapers
that are approved in the process outlined in D.11-07-030.
150
The gross amounts of the annual energy and capacity savings are reduced by appropriate
net-to-gross ratios for the particular measure or end use and extended through their useful lives
by the appropriate effective useful life estimates (see more information in the Net-to-Gross and
Effective Useful Life sections, below).
For all of the tables presented in this report, SCE has presented the capacity savings
based upon the estimated summer on-peak savings. Thus, the total capacity savings of each
measure has been reduced to show only the applicable percentage of savings that fall in the
defined summer on-peak period for the particular measure, as defined in D.06-06-063. All
energy savings results are a total of the savings across all time periods.
Net-to-Gross (NTG) Ratio
Gross energy savings are considered to be the savings in energy and demand seen by the
participant at the meter level. Net savings are assumed to be the savings that are attributable to
the program; that is, net savings are gross savings minus those changes in energy use and
demand that would have happened even in the absence of the program ("free riders"). The netto-gross ratio is a factor that is applied to gross program load impacts to convert them into net
program load impacts. This factor is also used to convert gross measure costs into net measure
costs.
Each net-to-gross ratio utilized in the report is taken from DEER 2008 v.2.05, as required
by the Commission.
Effective Useful Life (EUL)
The EUL is the length of time (in years) for which the load impacts of an EE measure are
expected to persist. Each of the EULs utilized in the report are taken from DEER 2008 v.2.05, as
required by the Commission.
Incremental Measure Cost (Per Unit and Total)
These costs generally represent the incremental costs of EE measures over standard
replacement measures. The gross amounts of these costs are reduced by appropriate net-to-gross
ratios for the particular measure or end use. SCE relies upon DEER 2008 v2.05 for ex ante
incremental measure cost values, as required by the Commission. If DEER does not contain an
151
estimate, SCE's incremental measure costs are typically derived from a recent measure cost study
and documented in SCE's work papers that are approved in the process outlined in D.11-07-030.
Program Incentive Cost (Per Unit and Total)
Incentive costs are the amount of incentives paid to customers during 2014. The
incentive cost totals are based on per-unit incentive costs paid to the customer multiplied by the
total number of units.
Program Administrative Cost
Program administrative costs include all expenditures directly charged to the program
except incentive costs. The administrative costs consist of allocated administrative, labor, nonlabor (that is, material and other), and contract labor cost.
Labor costs consist of SCE labor charges that are directly charged to the program. These
costs include salaries and expenses of SCE employees engaged in developing energy-efficient
marketing strategies, plans, and programs, developing program implementation procedures,
reporting, monitoring, and evaluating systems. Costs reflect actual costs incurred in 2014 in
support of the programs.
Non-labor costs include materials and other miscellaneous costs charged directly to the
program. These costs include items such as booklets, brochures, promotions, training,
membership dues, postage, telephone, supplies, printing and photocopying services, and
computer support services.
Contract labor costs consist of contract employees and consultant labor charges that are
directly charged to the program. These costs include salaries and expenses of contract
employees and consultants engaged in developing energy-efficient marketing strategies, plans,
and programs, developing program implementation procedures, reporting, monitoring, and
evaluating systems.
Allocated administrative costs represent those for building lease and maintenance costs
and management oversight expenditures.
152
The following explains how these numbers are consistent with the instructions provided
by Commission in the avoided costs proceeding, R.04-04-025, particularly D.06-06-063 and the
December 21, 2006 ALJ Ruling.
The tables provided in this report include modifications to the cost-effectiveness
calculations pursuant to the direction of the Energy Efficiency Policy Manual, the avoided costs
rulemaking (R.04-04-025), and recent Decisions related to EE cost-effectiveness, including
D.06-06-063, D.07-09-043, D.09-09-047 and D.14-04-046.
153
SECTION 5: BILL PAYER IMPACTS
Table 5 13
This section provides an explanation of the impact of the EE activities on customer bills
relative to the level without the EE programs.
In 2014, SCE was authorized to collect $191 million (D.12-11-015) in rates to implement
approved EE programs. Customer bills included the authorized collection on January 1, 2014[?],
the date the program year began. Therefore, EE programs increase customer bills up front, as
funds are collected to fund the EE programs. However, upon implementation, the programs lead
to lower customer energy usage due to improvements in EE and subsequent reductions to
participants’ bills. In the long term all users will benefit through reductions in the avoided costs
of energy. The tables provided above show the bill impacts on participating customers in 2014.
This section provides a brief explanation of the assumptions used in the calculation.
The bill impacts included in this report reflect the net impact on bills, accounting for the
benefits of the programs. The overall impact of SCE's programs is that customer bills will
decrease relative to the level of billing without the EE programs.
13
The data shown in this Annual Report is based on SCE's ex ante savings, adjusted for actual installations,
consistent with the ex ante values and processes adopted by the CPUC in D.11-07-030.
154
The following methodology was utilized for the calculation of bill impacts resulting from
the 2014 EE portfolio:
The calculation methodology for determining the average first-year bill savings utilizes
the total gross energy savings per year multiplied by the average rate denominated in kWh. The
product of these numbers results in a total bill savings for all program participants.
Similarly, the calculation methodology for determining the average lifecycle bill savings
utilizes the total lifecycle gross energy savings multiplied by the average rate denominated in
kWh. The product of these numbers results in a total lifecycle bill savings for all program
participants.
155
SECTION 6: GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE
Table 6
14
The following provides descriptions of the programs that contributed to Green Building
Initiative (GBI) savings.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order S-20-04 regarding Green
Buildings on December 14, 2004. It established the State of California's priority for energy and
resource-efficient high-performance buildings.
The Executive Order sets a goal of reducing energy use in state-owned buildings by 20
percent by 2015 (from a 2003 baseline) and encourages the private commercial sector to set the
same goal. The order also directs compliance with the Green Building Action Plan, which
details the measures the State will take to meet these goals.
SCE is committed to helping California meet the Governor's GBI goals. In 2014, SCE's
programs have made significant contributions, as indicated in the table above.
The following programs and/or subprograms contributed in 2014 towards GBI energy
savings:

progress that SCE has achieved towards the GBI goals.
157
SECTION 7: SHAREHOLDER PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES
Efficiency Savings and Performance Incentive Mechanism (ESPI) for 2013-2014 Energy
Efficiency funding cycle was approved by the Commission in D.13-09-023, dated September 11,
2013. SCE is scheduled to file an advice letter for program year 2013 ex-post and program year
2014 ex-ante earnings in September 2015.
In 2014, the Commission awarded SCE energy efficiency earnings of $21.6 million, calculated
from the results of the 2012 and ex-ante for 2013 program years. SCE has an opportunity to earn
an additional $6.2 million from program years 2011 and 2012 in the advice letter for earnings in
2015.
158
SECTION 8: SAVINGS BY END-USE
Table 8
15
The Commission's EE reporting requirements mandates that SCE submit regular reports
to the Commission quantifying the accomplishments of the portfolio. One such requirement,
reporting portfolio performance of energy savings and demand reduction by end use, as shown in
15
The data shown in this Annual Report is based on SCE's ex ante savings, adjusted for actual installations,
consistent with the ex ante values and processes adopted by the CPUC in D.11-07-030.
159
the table above, is reported on a regular basis as part of SCE's monthly report. The table above
illustrates the 2014 results, by end use, of SCE's portfolio of EE programs.
The 2014 Energy Savings Assistance program relies on the most up-to-date evaluation
data in order to determine the program's effectiveness. Primarily, SCE relies upon the Impact
Evaluation of the 2005 California Low-Income Energy Efficiency Program Final Report, as it
contains the latest and best available information for the energy savings and demand reduction
associated with low-income measures for this program cycle. In cases where SCE's program
implemented measures that were not evaluated as part of the aforementioned study, the program
used impact figures from the Impact Evaluation of the 2001 Statewide Low-Income Energy
Efficiency program and internally developed SCE workpapers. Together, these sources
stemming from vetted and approved EM&V studies developed a robust set of information that
SCE relied upon to report the energy savings and demand reduction associated with its LowIncome programs.

In 2014, the above mentioned programs secured commitments of over $64 million, over
400 gigawatt-hours of energy savings, and over 60 megawatts in demand reduction.
Explanations of how commitments are calculated and reported in the above tables, that is,
showing where these commitments are from incentives only.
In 2014, SCE actively enrolled customers into EE programs. These programs work with
customers at various stages in their decision-making process in order to influence them to
162
implement energy-efficient choices. When a customer has firmly committed to the program, an
incentive payment is reserved on their behalf to be paid when the customer implements the
energy-efficient measure. It is only when that firm commitment is received (in the form of a
contract, reservation, etc.) that it is counted as a program commitment and is reported to the
Commission. The tables above summarize the energy savings and demand reduction committed
to be installed by SCE customers.
