How EECBG Helps

$2 million in federal stimulus funds

Accelerates implementation of
Energy Saving Projects for city
owned, tenant occupied buildings in
Balboa Park
Sample of Energy Efficiency
Projects Identified

Balboa Park energy efficiency projects:

 Improve Lighting with more energy efficient fixtures + bulbs
(e.g. museum gallery lighting, emergency lighting,
occupancy
sensors)

 HVAC (Heating, ventilation, air conditioning)

(e.g. Energy Management Systems, Air Handlers, Chilled
Water Pumps)

 Replace appliances with new energy star rated appliances

he EECBG Implementation Process

The EECBG Project Process

1) EPA Energy Star Benchmarking
2) Identify Projects
3) Identify Funding
4) Solicit Bids
5) Sign Contracts
6) Initiate Work
7) Educate
8) Complete and Verify
SDGE
On Bill Financing
1) Project(s) have a Contractor(s)?
The Contractor prepares OBF, Incentive
& Rebate applications for SDGE
2) No Contractor = in-house staff
Facility Director contacts SDGE Account
Manager (Kimberly Ketron) to complete
paperwork and documentation
EECBG FINANCING

1) Contracts MUST BE SIGNED for

Projects NOT LATER THAN 12/31/2010

2) Projects MUST BE COMPLETED not

later than 6/30/2012

3) Total EECBG Funding Allocated for

Balboa Park is $2 million
SUMMARY
• Everyone is eligible for EECBG funds
• EECBG Projects need to be identified, quoted,
and encumbered/contracted NOT LATER THAN
12/31/2010
• EECBG Funds for BPCP are limited to
$2M. OBF used for match and overages.
• SDGE On Bill Financing (OBF) by Institutions
results in no increase to monthly expenses.
Expenses reduce when loan is paid off.
