Daryl DeJean will be teaching the Advanced Lighting Technologies in Action seminar. During this seminar Daryl will take you on a journey of indoor and outdoor lighting projects in which advanced lighting technologies were implemented. You will learn the selection process as well as how well the technology performed. The seminar will share projects with LED luminaires, induction, electronic HID, plasma and new HID technologies.

Daryl DeJean will be teaching the Cost Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Measures seminar. The objective of the seminar is to demonstrate how energy efficiency can produce better cash flow and returns than competing corporate projects. You will gain insight on the investment decisions considered to determine the cost effectiveness of energy efficiency projects. We will discuss the different types of investment decisions faced by building owners and how they can impact the funding of projects. An overview and discussion of the financial tools established by global standards of ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) used in the proper financial evaluation of energy efficiency projects.

Daryl DeJean is currently involved in the assessment and evaluation of numerous lighting control and lighting technologies including LEDs. He will be teaching the Lighting Controls seminar.

Date:  Wednesday, 02/15/12

Time: 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM 

Location: SDG&E Energy Innovation Center (SDEIC)

As a follow-up to the LED Basics seminar, Daryl will discuss the promising LED applications in the LED Basics & Applications seminar. During this seminar you will learn about the DOE initiatives to help you determine if LEDs are appropriate for your applications. An overview of the various DOE quality assurance initiatives will be provided to help you differentiate good products and applications and to widely distribute technical information regarding LEDs. Daryl will discuss how you can use this information for your situation.

Daryl DeJean and Lee Stevens are giving the New Business Development portion of the CALCTP Program in Pasadena at the LA NECA Chapter Pasadena office.

Daryl presented the highly popular topic of the many FREE Energy Performance Tools that are available on the ENERGY STAR website. Fourty one attendees immediately benchmarked buildings and plan on benchmarking facilities for a total of 10,831,000 square feet. It was terrific to see so many familiar faces and to see how much more informed the audience was since ETA began training SDG&E customers through this training initiative in 2010.

He covered such sub topics as:

1. how does Portfolio Manager help with LEED certification?

2. how it will help meet Assembly Bill 1103 which takes effect on 7/1/11?

3. setting energy performance targets for planning purposes and setting goals that are realisitic

4. how to procure equipment using "quantity quotes"?

5. review financial calculators and how to interpret their results; the need for total transparency with the basic assumptions are critical

6. no cost measures such as plug load measures such vending machines and ice machine surveys can help reduce the combined costs of energy efficiency

7. how to use the Building Upgrade Manual?

8. understanding the "opportunity costs" of hidden cash flows given up by paying for avoidable and unneccessary energy waste.

9. differentiate "energy efficiency" from "energy conservation"

10. how enhancing energy efficiency increases the value of a building immediately by increasing the income derived from the building

11. the importance of verifiable and persistent cash flow year after year is a necessary requirement

12. how to use graphs and reports for energy performance tracking over time and compare a building against its internal peers?

Lee Stevens presented Los Angeles Department Water & Power and Southern California Edison utilities incentives for energy and water efficiency programs to NECA members in Los Angeles. We had a high level of participation in the smaller seminar format.
