Obama: Building on Recent Gains in Energy Efficiency
Energy Policy Act of 2005 will by 2020:
- Reduce U.S. energy use by 2%- Reduce electricity demand by 4%- Reduce oil use by 0%- Reduce CO2 emissions by 3%
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 will by 2030:
- Reduce U.S. energy use by 7%- Reduce electricity demand by 5%- Reduce oil use by 10%- Reduce CO2 emissions by 9%

– Reduce electricity use 15% by 2020– Net-zero energy buildings by 2030
–Commitment to large green energy component in the economic recovery bill
–Strong commitment to climate legislation
–Investment incentives for “livable cities”

ARRA: Built on the Five Pillars of Good Public Policy
RD&D – Smart Grid ($4.5 bill)– DOE RD&D ($2.25 billion)
Incentives– Extension of tax incentives
Codes & Standards– “Conditions” State funding on strong building codes
Education & Outreach– State Energy Star rebate programs ($300 million)
Government Leadership by Example– Federal “High-Performance Green Buildings” ($4.5 billion)
![Page 14: 9th Inter-Parliamentary Meeting on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5551cdbeb4c905922b8b4ea7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Leadership by Example October 2009, Executive Order:
- Use federal buying power to motivate vendors, contractors, and others in the federal supply chain to take their own actions to limit greenhouse gas emissions in production, operations, and transport
- Make public the annual “scorecard” results for each agency – an important step towards public accountability and ensuring that the provisions of the order remain as priorities for federal agency managers.
- Re-institute the Presidential Leadership Awards, an important step in underscoring the president’s priority on individual and agency leadership in energy efficiency and sustainability within the federal government.
- Create sustainability officers for each agency.

CEJAPAIntro by Sens. Kerry
and Boxer 23 Oct.Firm cap: 20%
reductions 2020;80% by 2050 from 2005 levels
Expected to be combined with ACELA before floor consideration
ACES 2009
Passed House 26 JuneStandards + incentives
to promote clean energy tech, firm cap on GHG emissions
Savings by 2030:8.8 quads$62B for consumers ($486/household)
![Page 18: 9th Inter-Parliamentary Meeting on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5551cdbeb4c905922b8b4ea7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The role of energy efficiency in climate legislation
Energy efficiency is used as a cost containment and new jobs tool
In ACES, energy efficiency provisions alone would: Save American households about $154 per year in 2025.
(EPA)
Reduce carbon allowance price by 1.5 percent between 2015-2050. (EPA)
On the whole, ACES would create on average 120,000 new energy efficiency jobs nationwide each year between 2012-2020.(Center for American Progress)
