Review of Senate Bill 1120 New York State Energy ConsumpJon and Sources SoluJon Renewable Energy GeneraJon

SoluJon Energy Eciency Technologies

NYS Energy ConsumpJon and Sources

Quadrillion BTUs Consumption Residential Commercial Industrial Total (2011) Growth (2011-2020) 1.07 1.18 0.35 2.60 0.23 Sources Natural gas (2011) Renewables (2011) Nuclear/other (2011) Total (2011) Total (2020) Renewables (2020) Efficiency Gains Total (2020) -0.77 2.06 Nuclear/other (2020) Natural gas (2020) 1.25 0.42 0.93 2.60 2.06 0.47 0.93 0.67

Through decreased consumption and more renewable generation, we achieve a 47% decrease in natural gas usage, from 1.25 to 0.67 quadrillion BTUs

The SoluJons

Renewable energy generaJon

Energy eciency technologies

Energy transmission, distribution and storage

SoluJon Renewable Energy GeneraJon

Solar Wind

Solar Photovoltaics
Solar Photovoltaic Cells create electrical energy directly From

incoming sunlight

Solar Panels can be mounted in a variety of places Variability of applicaJon: large arrays in open spaces &

small arrays on homes and buildings

Case Study: RooWop Solar Panels in NYC

RooWop space in NYC is currently

marginal space

Study by CUNY using LIDAR esJmates

that nearly 2/3 of rooWops in NYC are suitable for installaJon of solar panels

EsJmated 5478MW of installable

rooWop solar capacity vs. 14 MW of currently installed capacity

InstallaJon could led to a 10% total

reducJon in NYC peak energy consumpJon, nearly 4% reducJon in overall NYS consumpJon

Current rooftop solar installations in NYC

Wind

Movement of air over fan blades moves turbine, generaJng

electricity

Capacity of turbines is highly variable, from around 400W to 7MW Range varies over a factor of 104 NYS already has over 3GW of installed wind capacity and there is

over 5GW of potenJal capacity in state

SoluJon Energy Eciency Technologies

Four classes of technologies
LighJng HeaJng, venJlaJon, and air condiJoning and building envelope Appliances and equipment Monitoring/controls systems

Energy eciency soluJons can save 28%, 29% and 18% of energies for residenJal, commercial, and industrial customers based on business as usual forecasts for 2020

11

SoluJon Energy Eciency Technologies

Ligh2ng
EvoluJon of the light bulb: Incandescent compact uorescent light (CFL) LED (light emihng diode) LighJng accounts for

Cons

Poor percepJons of light quality Historically limited range of

applicaJons High cost (e.g. LED bulbs cost 10-20x more than incandescent)

approximately 15% of a homes electricity use LEDs use ~75% less energy than incandescent bulbs, emit virtually no heat, last up to 25 Jmes longer, are dimmable, and are cool to the touch

12

SoluJon Energy Eciency Technologies

HVAC and Building Envelope
HeaJng, venJlaJon, and

Cons
Poor consumer educaJon High upfront cost Long payback periods

air-condiJoning systems account for ~40% of the electricity used in commercial buildings Forms:
Improved building envelope High eciency HVAC systems

13

SoluJon Energy Eciency Technologies

Appliances and Equipment
Includes all non-lighJng/

Cons
Technological and ecacy

HVAC electrical use

Water heaters, dishwashers,

laundering, refrigeraJon

issues Customer preferences and percepJons Financial barriers

e.g. Current energy-

ecient refrigerators use 40% less energy than convenJonal models did in 2001

14

SoluJon Energy Eciency Technologies

Monitoring/Control Systems Systems track energy Cons consumpJon in real-Jme User unfamiliarity and change heaJng, Improper usage lighJng, etc. in response to environmental changes or space usage Examples:
Programmable thermostats Occupancy sensors

15

Case Study: Empire State Building Retrot

The current Empire State Building retrot includes:
Window retrots Direct digital controls Tenant light usage and controls Air handling units Chiller plant retrot Tenant controlled venJlaJon Building envelope

38% overall reducJon in electrical use 3.5MW reducJon in peak electrical

requirements Possibility to retrot older oce buildings not unique to the this example or NYC

16

Next Steps
Understand the scienJc problems facing renewable

technologies in New York
