2013 -2014 Energy Efficiency Programs <br />Local Government Partnership Program <br />Program Implementation Plan <br />Other Program Element Attributes <br />b) innovation: Describe any unique or <br />innovative aspects of prograin element not <br />previously discussed. Why is this innovative? <br />c) Interagency Coordination: Describe any <br />interagency coordination with the ARB, CEC <br />on PIER or Codes and Standards; non - utility <br />market initiatives; energy efficiency market <br />forces, opportunities and trends; and timeline <br />by which market segment will be <br />"transformed" or other aspects of the <br />program. <br />d) Integrated/coordinated Demand Side <br />Management: Describe how program will <br />achieve integrated or coordinated delivery of <br />all DSM options, as well as ESAP and WET. <br />(If this is an integral part of the program <br />element and fully covered Linder #4 note that <br />here.) Describe in detail how program will <br />achieve integrated or coordinated delivery of <br />DSM options (energy efficiency, demand <br />Government Facilities <br />The Government Facilities program element <br />incorporates innovative aspects of program <br />design, as discussed above. These include <br />benchmarking, community finance, and training <br />the facilities work within a climate action <br />framework. Government Partnerships have used <br />innovative solutions to address barriers. In using <br />benchmarking technology and other technical <br />assistance, Government Partnerships plan to <br />prioritize the facilities that are best suited for <br />retrofits. Additionally, each partnership will <br />work to address potential barriers by sharing <br />solutions and best practices. The Partnerships <br />program will explore options for addressing <br />financial barriers (e.g., support for California <br />Energy Commission (CEC) loans and other <br />funding opportunities) and support individual <br />Partners that want to pilot new approaches, such <br />earmarking energy savings in a separate fund to <br />ensure that savings do not go back into the <br />general fund. <br />The Government Partnerships program will <br />foster coordination in relation to government <br />facilities efficiency, encouraging LGPs to make <br />use of coordination resources including: <br />• Participate in the CEC loan program for <br />governments. <br />• CEC's Public Interest Energy Research <br />(PIER) program <br />• "EPA Energy Star Low Carbon IT <br />Campaign Ally" with their power <br />management savings program. <br />• Work with the ARB as well as other <br />agencies to co- market materials, co- <br />brand programs, etc. <br />Partnerships will achieve coordinated delivery <br />of DSM options. Some LGPs will achieve <br />integration of all elements, while others will <br />only integrate a few. The integrated elements <br />will include: <br />• Integrated energy audits will be offered <br />to government facilities that show <br />savings potential and are willing to <br />commit to the additional time and <br />25C -41 <br />
