• Staffed by 60+
professionals
• 35 years of experience
• $17 million annual budget

3. What is the
Alliance to Save Energy?
• Led by Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Tom King,
Chairman of the Board and President, National Grid
US
• 16 Members of Congress – Bi-Cameral, Bi-Partisan
• 35 Business, NGO and Academic Leaders
4. Working with and Across
All Sectors of the EconomyBusiness ▪ Government ▪ Public Interest
• Coalition membership of more than 140 diverse organizations
• Involvement by businesses in all economic sectors
• Participants active in policy advocacy, research, education and
communication
5. Alliance and SEEA Partnership
Identified Need for SEEA in 2003:
• Fastest growing region in the U.S.
• Electricity demand was projected to grow almost 50%
• Spends only one-fifth the national average, per capita, on energy efficiency
programs
SEEA becomes a separate, wholly-owned subsidiary in 2007
Plans for SEEA to “graduate” as a stand-alone organization

12. • Recommendations cover all sectors of the
economy
• Recommendations will be actionable
• Recommendations will be geared toward, and
respect the historic and appropriate roles of,
federal, state and local government, and private
sector
How to Get There:
Creating the Roadmap
14. Recommendations
• Make financing more easily available for
energy efficiency projects
• Advance energy productivity through
federal tax reform
• Support energy productivity innovation
and market adoption
• Governments lead by example
15. Recommendations
• Create a “Race to the Top” style energy
productivity competition for States
• Use energy productivity to achieve
regulatory and planning goals
– Utility policy
– Transportation and land-use planning
– Environmental regulations
– Infrastructure investments
• Strengthen building, equipment, and
vehicle efficiency standards
16. Recommendations
• Provide information on building energy
efficiency and energy use
– Ratings, benchmarks, labels and disclosure
• Improve corporate energy management
and transparency
• Develop educated consumers and
trained technicians
17. Energy 2030 Impacts &
“Wins”
• President has embraced goal and key
pillars
• Bi-partisan bills emerging in Congress
• Adoption of goals and recommendations
at local and regional levels already
• U.S. Conference of Mayors Resolution
Adopted
• Strong media, opinion leader & business
engagement
18. Energy 2030 in Action: Federal
Legislation
• SAVE Act of 2013 (S. 1106)
• Weatherization Enhancement and Local Energy
Efficiency Investment and Accountability Act (S.
1213)
• State Energy Race to the Top Initiative Act (S.
1218)
• Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness
Act, (S. 761/H.R. 1616)
• Better Buildings Act (S. 1191/H.R. 2126)
• Commercial Building Benchmarking Act (S. 1206)
19. North Carolina: Bringing the Roadmap to
Life
• Invest
– NC has several major RD&D programs that support
energy efficiency
– State government has led by example with state sleet
efficiency requirements, benchmarking, etc.
• Educate
– Innovative Pete Street program mobilizes volunteers
to teach their neighbors about saving energy.
– Transit legislation provided funding for public transit
plans.
– NC has fairly stringent residential and commercial
building codes.

Annual world-wide investment of $170 billion in energy efficiency through 2020 could:cut global growth in energy demand by ½!save $900 billion a year in avoided energy costs dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissionsSource: The McKinsey Global InstituteEnergy efficiency is the United States’ greatest energy resource. According to research conducted by the Alliance to Save Energy, we saved 52 quads in 2009 due to energy efficiency and conservation efforts taken since 1973. This is more energy saved than the U.S. gets from any single energy source, including oil.Further, if we tried to run today’s economy without the energy efficiency improvements that have taken place since 1972, we would need nearly 50% more energy than we use now.
The Commission’s goal is a doubling of the US energy productivity (twice as much GDP from each unit of energy) between 2011 and 2030.
The Alliance Commission on National Energy Efficiency Policy has as itsOrganizing Goal: A doubling of the US energy productivity (twice as much GDP from each unit of energy) between 2011 and 2030;The Scope of Recommendations:will be fully vetted, non-biased and have the greatest credibility possible among the key audiences of interest – policy and decision makers and will be put forward to cover all sectors of the economy – power sector; buildings; mobility; and industry. The Types of Policy to be Included: are “Actionable” legislative, administrative, business and consumer policies and practices –the will draw bi-partisan support; public appeal and understanding; Through the work of this Commission, the Alliance hopes to set a vision and framework for an innovative energy efficient future.
SAVE Act of 2013 (S. 1106), introduced by Senators Bennet and Isakson, would improve the accuracy of mortgage underwriting by including energy efficiency as a factor in determining the value and affordability of a home.Weatherization Enhancement and Local Energy Efficiency Investment and Accountability Act (S. 1213), introduced by Senators Coons, Collins, and Reed, would reauthorize and improve the Weatherization and State Energy Programs.State Energy Race to the Top Initiative Act (S. 1218), introduced by Senators Warner and Manchin, would introduce a national Race to the Top-style energy productivity competition for states.Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act (S. 761/H.R. 1616), introduced by Senators Shaheen and Portman and Representatives McKinley and Welch, would spur the use of energy efficiency technologies in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.Section 101 of the bill directs DOE to support the updating of model building energy codes.Section 311 establishes a Supply Star program to identify and promote highly efficient supply chains.Better Buildings Act (S. 1191/H.R. 2126), introduced by Senators Bennet and Ayotte and Representatives McKinley and Welch, would establish a Tenant Star program in order to align the interests of commercial building owners and their tenants to reduce energy consumption.A bill to encourage benchmarking of large commercial buildings (S. 1206), introduced by Senator Franken, would require buildings leased by the federal government to benchmark and report data on energy usage.
South Carolina moved up six spots to 40th place. South Carolina had a significantly higher budget for electric efficiency programs, leading to greater energy savings, and also earned credit for its transportation efficiency programs. South Carolina also began to pursue greater compliance with more efficient statewide building energy codes.North Carolina moved up five spots to 22nd place. North Carolina’s continued implementation of energy efficiency resource standards helped the state to improve its efficiency ranking.
