Introduction
Savings By Design Meeting Demand Savings By Design is a Demand-Side Management (DSM) program. DSM programs influence utility customers to design and/or install gas/energy efficiency and managing equipment as an effort to decrease gas and electrical demand on the grid and avoid gas and power delivery interruptions during peak periods. Peak Events typically occur during the summer months for electricity and winter months for gas.
Two Approaches to High-Performance Buildings Whole Building Approach Preferred method of achieving energy savings through early collaboration. This approach considers integrated, optimized energy solutions.
Systems Approach Each building system can be designed to achieve greater efficiency on its own rather than as a collection of components. UCSB Resource Building - Santa Barbara, CA
Whole Building Approach - Owner
Core Incentive Projects will receive $100 per peak kW saved. Subject to all applicable caps. Up to $150,000 per project. (Limited to 75% of incremental costs for energy efficiency measures.) Owner Incentives range from $0.10 to $0.30 per annualized kWh savings, with a step increase to $0.40続 per annualized kWh savings for projects that exceed Title 24 by 40% and $1.00 per annualized therm savings as the design becomes more efficient.
Partnership Program
Institutional and Energy Leader Partnerships Enhanced incentives range from $.04 to $.18 per kWh • Certain Participating Cities and Counties (building their own projects) • State of California • UC & CSU campuses • Community Colleges • California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation
Whole Building Approach - Team
It’s Easy To Work With Savings By Design What We Need From You Application • Letter of Interest • DT Incentive Application Owner’s Agreement, with: • WBA Summary Package • Digital Set of Plans • Spec’s & Submittals on EE Measures • Energy Model
Title 24, 2016- Envelope
Design Opportunities • Optimize strategies by analyzing climatic data
Climate Consultant Software - http://www.energy-design-tools.aud.ucla.edu/
Title 24, 2013- Lighting
Design Opportunities • Lighting Analysis – Increased surface reflectance can reduce the number of fixtures necessary to achieve desired illumination levels.

Title 24, 2013- Lighting
Design Opportunities • Integrated design – Energy Model review and feedback
Whole Building Approach
Early Collaboration Maximize your savings by having the
Savings By Design team involved as soon as possible in the design of your project.
Whole Building Approach
Integrative Design Pursue low- or no-cost energy saving strategies first
