| Desc | DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY AND RESOURCE EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS TO THE WHOLESALE AND CONSUMER MARKETS.ENERGY FEDERATION, INC. (EFI) WORKS ACTIVELY WITH LOW INCOME WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (WAP) PROVIDERS, AND THE CONTRACTORS THEY UTILIZE, TO PROVIDE THEM WITH A VARIETY OF HIGH QUALITY WEATHERIZATION, VENTILATION AND EFFICIENT LIGHTING PRODUCTS TO RETROFIT HOMES INHABITED BY LOW INCOME FAMILIES. INCREASINGLY, PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICES TO LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS ARE DEPENDENT UPON RECEIVING FUNDING FROM UTILITY RATEPAYER 'SYSTEM BENEFIT' OR 'PUBLIC GOOD' CHARGES. EFI HAS BEEN WORKING WITH BOTH OUR UTILITY CLIENTS AND VARIOUS LOW INCOME SERVICE PROVIDERS TO FIND WAYS TO USE UTILITY 'EE' FUNDS TO PROVIDE COMPLEMENTARY OR SUPPLEMENTARY BENEFITS TO THE SERVICES THE AGENCIES ARE PROVIDING TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES MIGHT INCLUDE SUPPLYING LED BULBS TO AGENCIES FOR INSTALLATIONS IN HOMES HAVING THERMAL SHELL AND/OR HVAC SYSTEM WORK DONE. SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES MIGHT INVOLVE DIRECTLY SHIPPING HOT WATER SAVING DEVICES AND/OR ENERGY EFFICIENT CFL AND LED LIGHT BULBS TO LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS FOR THE RESIDENTS TO INSTALL ON A DO-IT-YOURSELF BASIS.SINCE 2012 EFI HAS WORKED WITH ENERGY SERVICE COMPANY PARTNERS AND UTILITY CLIENTS TO DEVELOP A RATHER UNIQUE 'SALES CHANNEL' FOR UPSTREAM (UTILITY FUNDED) INCENTIVE PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED LIGHT BULBS. THESE PROGRAMS ARE COMMON TO ALL STATES THAT HAVE EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS FUNDED WITH SYSTEM BENEFIT CHARGES ON UTILITY BILLS, AND EFI PROVIDES INCENTIVE FULFILLMENT SERVICES AND PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO DOZEN SUCH PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE CONVINCED CLIENTS IN MAINE, MISSOURI, GEORGIA, WISCONSIN AND OHIO TO DEVOTE A PORTION OF THEIR PROGRAMS' INCENTIVE FUNDS TO SUPPLYING COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS (CFLS) TO FOOD BANKS, WHICH DISTRIBUTE THEM TO LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS VIA FOOD PANTRIES WITHIN OUR CLIENTS' SERVICE TERRITORIES. IN 2014, EFI SUPPLIED OVER ONE MILLION ENERGY SAVING BULBS WHICH WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THESE FOOD PANTRIES.PART OF EFI'S MISSION IS TO FIND INNOVATIVE, EFFECTIVE NEW ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS, AND TO DEVISE CREATIVE WAYS, WORKING WITH OUR CUSTOMER AND CLIENT BASE, THAT INCLUDES UTILITIES, STATE ENERGY OFFICES, PROGRAM EVALUATORS AND DESIGNERS, ENERGY SERVICE COMPANIES, AND A VARIETY OF NON-PROFITS AND NGO'S TO DEVELOP PROMISING NEW PRODUCTS AND BRING THEM TO MARKET. PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT CATEGORIES EFI HAS BEEN ACTIVELY PROMOTING RECENTLY WHICH WE BELIEVE CAN BE TERMED INNOVATIVE, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME 'MARKET TRANSFORMATIVE' INCLUDE:- LED LIGHTING: EFI HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OUR UTILITY CLIENTS, KEY CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS, AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) THROUGH THEIR SOLID STATE LIGHTING AND ENERGY STAR PROGRAMS TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SSL MARKET, AND TO DEVISE WAYS TO INCORPORATE LED BULBS INTO 'UTILITY' ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS. SSL TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO BUILD TRACTION AND IMPRESSIVE MOMENTUM IN 2014. EFI SALES OF LED LIGHTING PRODUCTS, AS MEASURED IN DOLLARS, FAR SURPASS EFI'S CFL SALES, AND IN THE SECOND HALF OF CALENDAR YEAR 2014 (WHICH IS ACTUALLY IN EFI'S FISCAL YEAR 2015, LED BULB SALES HAVE ALMOST MATCHED CFL BULB SALES. LED BULBS ARE THE MOST EFFICIENT LIGHT SOURCE AVAILABLE FOR GENERAL HOUSEHOLD USE, HAVE THE LONGEST LIFE, AND UNLIKE THE ALSO ENERGY EFFICIENT CFL BULBS, CONTAIN NO MERCURY AND ARE BELIEVED TO BE LESS OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM THAN CFLS AT END OF LIFE. BECAUSE THE AVERAGE LED BULB LIFETIME RANGES FROM 25,000 HOURS TO 50,000 HOURS, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 25X-50X THE LIFETIME OF INCANDESCENT BULBS AND 2.5X - 8X THE LIFETIME OF CFL BULBS, FAR FEWER LIGHT BULBS WILL BE GOING INTO THE WASTE STREAM IF CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES ARE CONVINCED TO PURCHASE LED BULBS. THEY ALSO ARE GETTING FAR GREATER ACCEPTANCE FROM CONSUMERS THAN CFLS EVER DID IN THEIR THREE DECADES ON THE MARKET. CERTAINLY THEIR PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS - RAPID START, IMMEDIATE FULL BRIGHTNESS, DIMMING CAPABILITY, RELIABLE OPERATION AT A VARIETY OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURES - ALLOW THEM TO BE USED, AND ACCEPTED, IN A VARIETY OF COMMON LIGHTING APPLICATIONS WHERE CFLS' PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS ARE NOT IDEAL.EFI HAS WORKED WITH SEVERAL UTILITY CLIENTS (IN OHIO, MISSOURI AND WASHINGTON) TO STIMULATE AWARENESS OF LED BULBS WITH CONSUMERS BY PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING 'KIT' PROGRAMS IN WHICH CUSTOMERS COULD REQUEST THEY BE SENT A FREE LED BULB AS A MEANS OF EITHER REWARDING THEM FOR PARTICIPATING IN ANOTHER UTILITY SPONSORED ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM, OR AS AN INDUCEMENT TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO TRY THIS NEW LIGHTING SOURCE, AND IF THEY LIKED IT, TO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS WHERE THEY COULD PURCHASE MORE OF THE LED BULBS, AT INCENTIVIZED OR DISCOUNTED PRICES AT LOCAL STORES.- WIFI THERMOSTATS HAVE BECOME ANOTHER NEW AND RAPIDLY GROWING INNOVATIVE PRODUCT LINE FOR EFI. IN 2013 EFI BEGAN WORKING WITH NEST, A COMPANY WHOSE FOUNDERS WORKED FOR APPLE DEVELOPING THE IPHONE AND IPAD PRODUCTS AND WAS PURCHASED BY GOOGLE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, TO PROMOTE THEIR WIFI THERMOSTATS VIA UTILITY SUPPORTED ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS, WORKING WITH EFI UTILITY CLIENTS AND WITH ENERGY SERVICE COMPANIES PROVIDING SERVICE DELIVERY TO UTILITIES. EFI WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH NEST AND OUR UTILITY CLIENTS ON SEVERAL PILOT INITIATIVES IN MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND, NEW JERSEY AND CALIFORNIA. EFI IS PLANNING ON WORKING WITH UTILITY CLIENTS AND ENERGY SERVICE COMPANIES IN MASSACHUSETTS AND COLORADO IN 2015 TO DO LARGER SCALE PROGRAMS WITH WIFI THERMOSTATS, ALTHOUGH THE PROGRAMS WILL BE USING THERMOSTATS MANUFACTURED BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMPANIES, INCLUDING HONEYWELL, ECOBEE, AND BUILDING 36, AS WELL AS NEST.WIFI THERMOSTATS ARE INCREASINGLY BEING DISCUSSED AS A LOGICAL DEVICE TO BE THE 'HUB' TO CONNECT VARIOUS DEVICES IN A BUILDING TO MAKE IT A 'SMART' HOME OR 'SMART' BUSINESS. AS THE UTILITY INDUSTRY EVOLVES, AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES BECOME EQUALLY IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN SUPPLY STRATEGIES TO THE FUTURE EVOLUTION OF THE GRID, THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVICES THAT CAN ASSIST CUSTOMERS AND COMPANIES THEY RELY ON TO HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR POWER CONSUMPTION, WILL BE EVER GREATER.- EFI HAS BEEN DEVELOPING A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH TRICKLESTAR, A MANUFACTURER OF ADVANCE POWER STRIPS (ADS), WHICH IN ESSENCE ARE INTELLIGENT EXTENSION CORDS TO WHICH VARIOUS CONSUMER ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS CAN BE PLUGGED IN. THEY SHUTOFF PERIPHERAL DEVICES SUCH AS DVR PLAYERS AND PRINTERS WHEN 'PRIMARY' OR CONTROLLING DEVICES (TELEVISIONS, PC'S) ARE OFF, OR IN SLEEP MODE. THESE ARE REFERRED TO AS 'PHANTOM LOADS,' BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDERSTOOD BY COMPARATIVELY FEW CONSUMERS AND THUS ARE 'INVISIBLE' TO MOST PEOPLE.EFI HAS WORKED WITH TRICKLESTAR AND CLIENTS TO DEVISE WAYS TO GET THE PRODUCTS INCORPORATED INTO PROGRAMS DELIVERING IN HOME SERVICES, SUCH AS PROVIDING HOME ENERGY ASSESSMENTS/AUDITS, OR INSTALLING ENERGY SAVING MATERIALS (LIGHTING, WATER CONSERVATION, AND NOW ADVANCED POWER STRIPS) IN APARTMENTS IN MULTI-FAMILY BUILDINGS. THESE CHANNELS TO DATE ARE PROVING TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE FOR GETTING THESE PRODUCTS INTO THE MARKET - AND SAVING ENERGY. IN 2014 EFI BEGAN SELLING A MORE SOPHISTICATED APS UNIT (DESIGNATED AS A TIER 2 PRODUCT BY A NUMBER OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM PLANNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY) WHICH HAS AN INFRARED SENSING CONTROL BUILT INTO IT TO ENABLE IT TO RECOGNIZE WHEN A CONSUMER HAS LIKELY FALLEN ASLEEP IN FRONT OF A TELEVISION, OR LEFT A TELEVISION ON WHEN THEY HAVE LEFT A ROOM (FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME). THESE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE INCREASED THE ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL OF THE TECHNOLOGY.- EFI IS EXPLORING WORKING WITH EVOLVE, A COMPANY THAT MAKES A UNIQUE HOT WATER SAVINGS DEVICE, USING A THERMOSTATIC VALVE, INSERTED BETWEEN A SHOWER PIPE ARM AND A SHOWERHEAD, TO SHUT OFF WATER FLOW (TO A TRICKLE) AFTER SOMEONE HAS STARTED A SHOWER, AND THE WATER HAS REACHED THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE (95 DEGREES F), BUT THE PERSON INTENDING TO HAVE THE SHOWER HAS YET TO ENTER THE SHOWER STALL. ON AVERAGE AMERICANS WASTE JUST UNDER 1 MINUTE OF HOT WATER FLOW (PROBABLY ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF HOT WATER) BEFORE THEY START TO SHOWER. | Desc |

| Desc | INCENTIVE PROCESSING SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE DEMAND SIDE REDUCTION EFFORTS OF THE UTILITY INDUSTRY AND STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES.IN FY'2014 EFI ISSUED MORE THAN $155 MILLION OF INCENTIVE CHECKS ON BEHALF OF THE VARIOUS UTILITY, STATE ENERGY OFFICE, AND NGO CLIENTS. THESE INCENTIVE PAYMENTS WERE MADE TO CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO INVEST IN ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES.EFI HAS CONTINUED TO INVEST IN DEVELOPING A WEB-BASED SOFTWARE PLATFORM THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO APPLY FOR INCENTIVES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2014 EFI SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED THE SOFTWARE FOR NEARLY TWO DOZEN INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THAT WE ADMINISTER FOR CLIENTS. THE SAVINGS FROM THE PRODUCTS AND MEASURES FOR WHICH EFI ISSUED INCENTIVE/REBATE PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF CLIENTS WILL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS TO CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES IN THE FORM OF LOWER ENERGY BILLS, TO UTILITIES AND SOCIETY IN THE FORM OF A REDUCED NEED TO INVEST IN POWER PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND TO USE SCARCE NATURAL RESOURCES FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION, TO THE COUNTRY IN THE FORM OF LESS RELIANCE ON NON-INDIGENOUS ENERGY SOURCES, AND TO EVERYONE IN THE FORM OF REDUCED CARBON EMISSIONS. | Desc |
