IN THIS ISSUE From the Editor...

The Tax Incentives Assis-tance Project (TIAP) is sponsored by a coalition of public interest nonprofit groups, government agen-cies, and other organiza-tions in the energy effi-ciency field. It is designed to give consumers and businesses information they need to make use of the federal income tax incen-tives for energy efficient products and technologies passed by Congress as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and subsequently amended several times.

TIAP activities include the following:

Providing through this

web site, information to con-

sumers, businesses, and en-

ergy-efficiency firms.

Working with the Depart-

ments of Treasury, Depart-

ment of Energy and other

agencies on rules to imple-

ment the tax incentives.

Providing information,

presentations and technical

assistance to state and utility

program implementers who

want to use the federal tax

incentives to complement

their local programs.

Networking with profes-sional associations, trade associations and firms that provide products and ser-vices eligible for the tax incentives.

VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1 PAGE 2

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reported in September of last year that Wal-Mart leads in both number of installations and total installed generating capacity (65,000kW) of large box retailers with Costco trailing by almost half the generating capacity. The Swedish ware-house retailer Ikea leads the country in the proportion of its stores with solar PV installed, at 79% leading me to believe the new Naperville store can be a showcase for the re-tailer.

Wal-Mart's lead in both number of installations and capac-ity will come as no surprise to those who watch Wal-Mart installing photovoltaic generating capacity on its abundant rooftops at an aggressive pace mostly in high electric rate, solar abundant states like Arizona or California. Ranked by the number of systems each company has installed, Wal-Mart leads with 144 stores -- at least 100 of which are in California, a testament to the state's incentives for com-mercial solar, not the company’s environmental concern. Might I suggest, that corporate responsibility is not neces-sarily community driven as shareholders are told but bot-tom-line dollars earned, saved and shared with sharehold-ers.

I will leave you with this little caution by my good friend Benjamin Franklin who once wrote, “Never confuse motion with action”

In conclusion, this project leads us down a path in which more questions need to be asked. How can government of all size create renewable energy incentives in Northern Illinois for corporations where electricity is cheap, incen-tives are low and annual solar hours are less than 5? Not an incentive monetarily, but what about the before men-tioned corporate goals? Is the strategy to buy into the Naperville Renewable Energy Program at 100%? Is Wal-Mart a community leader or just another corporate retailer out for “coin”.

After receiving a sales tax rebate of $1.75 million over 10 years, a new 170,000 square-foot store will take the place of Wal-Mart's current Naperville location at 776 S. Route 59.

As we look at the project development and movement through the permitting process we suggest the community’s focus on the future Wal-Mart anchoring an intersection filled with retail, in all directions should be on high performance sustainable building practice. One in which the influential retailer and the city’s environmental interests overlap, and in which Wal-Mart can improve their bottom lines, help solve environmental problems and feel better about what they do all at the same time. This is no easy task especially being next door to Costco, a company that focuses on its employ-ees to sustain a community’s economic strength and vitality along with being Wal-Mart’s competitor in the race for supe-rior environmental management success and responsible corporate leadership.

Wal-Mart has claimed itself a steward of the environment and as a global leader, it has many issues it must contend with environmentally. From Wage / hourly and Gender Dis-crimination Class Actions in the United States to having an educated workforce in the biggest and smallest countries worldwide, the company’s challenges dwarf any issues my small firm contends with.

Never the less with the implementation of environmental matrixing in 2011, Wal-Mart is trying to catch up with those of us concerned about a warming planet and depleting re-sources. It is no wonder that the 2012 Wal-Mart shareholder report documents its concern to go local and regional, a key matrix in sustainable development. Perhaps their strategy at the New Store on 75th is to compete directly with Whole Foods or show off their commitment “... toward one day being powered by 100 percent renewable energy” (“Beyond 50 Years: Building a Sustainable Future”, 2012 Global Responsibility Report, pg 4, 70).

Greener Business Program Awards $300,000 in Grants

From January of 2010 to May of 2012, the City of Naperville awarded ap-proximately $310,000 in grant funding to a total of 38 businesses, religious institutions and multi-family complexes that participated in the Greener Busi-ness Program.

As part of the program, owners who made energy efficient improvements to their buildings were provided finan-cial assistance with matching funds at a rate of $.50 for every $1 spent to-wards energy efficiency improvements up to $10,000 per building. The pro-gram, which was funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the American Re-covery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), is now complete.

The goal of the Greener Business Program was to assist qualifying own-ers and operators of Naperville busi-nesses and multi-family buildings com-plete energy efficiency retrofit projects that reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. As a result, the program spurred more than $1 million worth of public and private in-vestment in energy efficient improve-ments to existing buildings, and it is

estimated that the Greener Business Program will save Naperville busi-nesses, religious institutions and multi-family complexes more than $350,000 annually in utility bills and more than four million kilowatts of electricity.

Residential Rebate Program Coming Soon!

In an effort to better serve its resi-dents, the City of Naperville is working with officials at Nicor and the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA) to establish a program that will offer re-bates to Naperville Electric Utility cus-tomers who perform home insulation and high-efficiency furnace and water heater upgrades.

Funding for this residential rebate program was approved by IMEA in November. IMEA will be administering the program at no cost to the City of Naperville Electric Utility. At this time, IMEA is developing program details, timing, establishing fund availability, applicant eligibility and an application process. It is anticipated the program will kick-off in early this year.

Current Green Activity IMEA is made up of 33 electric sys-tems served under a full-requirements wholesale purchasing contract. The IMEA's goal is to keep power costs low and to be insulated from the high prices that are increasingly common in the short-term power market.

City of Naperville and Verde En-ergy USA Launch Innovative En-ergy Storage Solutions Partner-ship (December 13, 2012) Verde Energy USA, a leading retailer

of electricity, and the City of Naper-

ville, Illinois, announced in December,

the launch of a clean energy efficiency

demonstration project. This project,

which involves the installation of a

proven, clean energy storage system

at Naperville’s Water Service Center,

1200 W. Ogden Ave., will achieve

energy efficiencies and reduce costs

to the City of Naperville. The project

will begin this month and continue

throughout 2013, during which time

Verde and the City of Naperville will

collect data and share results.

THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE (TES), A BASIC UNDERSTANDING

Historically, thermal energy storage (TES) has been applied to large chiller-based systems in the form of

either chilled water or ice storage. The system used by Verde Energy USA seems to be a packaged refrig-

erant-based ice-on-coil storage subsystem, designed for use with Standard Direct Expansion (DX) equip-

ment. “Standard DX Equipment” means unitary, direct expansion A/C equipment, including but not limited

to, split, mini-split, packaged, and single package vertical unit systems. It shares many of the same bene-

fits as the chiller-based systems, but is designed to work with standard DX equipment in both new and

retrofit applications, and in a manner that can improve the combined system’s overall efficiency. As with

the performance of standard DX equipment, specific climates and application conditions will impact the

actual amount of net energy used. Measuring the performance in the field is challenging due to the broad

range of operating conditions, indoor and outdoor environmental conditions, as well as the range of uncontrollable variables present in the

field, such as building design, equipment maintenance, and allowable variations in manufactured OEM equipment itself. For this reason, this

editor suggests a utility managed analysis of the showcase project (s) which will further the technology by providing educational opportunity

to the city and its ratepayers.

Buy a share of the 2013 harvest !

This is our 11th year !

Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a direct connection be-tween a nearby farmer and the peo-ple who eat the food the farmer pro-duces.

Each shareholder pays a subscrip-tion fee to buy a share of the har-vest

The fee goes toward the operating costs of the farm

In return, the farm supplies a weekly box of produce

Participating supporters contribute to the farm's yearly operating budget by purchasing in advance a share of the season's harvest. By making this commitment ahead of time, CSA shareholders join the farmer in assuming the costs, risks and re-wards of growing that season’s crops. Shareholders help pay for seeds, supplies, labor, equipment maintenance, and other costs. In return, the farm provides a weekly box of fresh, nutritious vegetables throughout the harvest season.

What is a personal sustainability pledge?

As part of NCEC’s mission, our goal is to educate residents about how their personal actions effect global climate change. As part of our mission, we are encouraging residents to submit to us their personal actions they are taking in their own lives to help reduce the green house gasses in our community. Al-though the City of Naperville, and many of our local business along with a significant number of individuals in our commu-nity have sustainability plans, it will take all of us collectively to pitch in, turn off, conserve, reduce, recycle, and re-evaluate daily habits in order to make the substantial difference needed to reduce the green house gasses in our community.

We invite you to pledge your personal efforts to address energy conservation, renewable, sustainable food, commuting, water conservation, green space, recycling and any other sustainabil-ity issues directly affecting our community. By making your pledge public, it not only might subconsciously help you stay committed, but will also help build a sense of community and support for one another as we all journey on our paths to a

I picked up this book not because I'm an architect specializing in high perform-ance “Green” building or a life long environmentalist . I knew little or noth-ing about clear cutting or the redwoods other than they were in danger and grow for hundreds of years. I went to school

in Southern California and saw infre-quent news clips of Julia Butterfly Hill’s adventures. I have visited the Northern California forest so I may be biased but, this book inspired me even more to pay attention to our environ-ment, no matter where I am. It was eas-ily read and motivating. I found Julia's journey during the two years she spent in Luna refreshing. She spoke of spiritu-ality and struggles we all face rather we are residing in a tree or not.

I see "Legacy of Luna" more as Julia's story of finding her soul... than Luna's legacy.

Her newest book, “BECOMING”, is a collection of her artwork, poetry and a short non-fiction story and is sitting on the table waiting to be read.

Every month people across the globe who are interested in environmental issues meet up at informal sessions known as GreenDrinks. GreenDrinks - Naperville, which was founded in February 2010, is just one of 750+ of these chapters worldwide. It's a lively mixture of people from business, NGOs, academia, our community and government. Come along and you'll be made welcome-TEETOTALERS TOO. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there's always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, ever expanding network. These events are very casual, and food and drink are on your own. There is no fee to participate. We are a green social networking event in every sense - 'self-organizing' and 'organically-growing' - so spread the word and see you at the next Green-Drinks - Naperville!

BOOK REVIEW

Green Drinks — Naperville

I wanted to start this column with a suggested read by other NCEC mem-bers or my favorite “Natural Capital-ism” by Paul Hawkin but will come back to these books next month and thereafter. I feel that if your looking for an inspirational read and if you are a non-tree hugger you will find this book interesting.

As they become widely used, this has the potential to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and im-prove air quality around campus. Installing this charging station at the center of campus is a good starting point to get people thinking and purchasing in another direction,” says Graham.

The 15-minute parking space at the station is still available for anyone to use, but now allows electric vehicles to charge for up to three hours. In spring 2013, two additional parking spaces will be added to the Goldspohn parking lot to offset the spaces lost at Old Main. Once these new spaces are cre-ated, one of the charging station parking spaces at Old Main will be reserved exclusively for electric vehicles and be limited to three hours per visit. The spaces at Old Main will be clearly distinguished with signage.

Graham will evaluate the project by gathering data about how often the charging station is being used and how much greenhouse gases have been re-duced.

If any student, faculty, staff or campus visitor wants to use the station free of charge or wants more information, contact Graham at [email protected] or 630-637-5623.

“North Central’s electric vehicle charging station is ready to use”

North Central College introduces new sustain-ability effort, installs first electric vehicle charg-ing station at Old Main parking lot for campus community use.

As part of an ongoing effort to support sustainability values and actions into all aspects of campus life, North Central College has installed its first public electric vehicle charging station, making it easier for members of the campus community to own and use electric cars.

The electric vehicle charging station is ready to use and situated on the sidewalk in the Old Main parking lot off Loomis Street. The station can charge two vehi-cles simultaneously in two adjacent parking spaces and may be used free of charge by any North Central College student, faculty, staff or campus visitor.

“North Central is serious in its efforts to help reduce vehicle emissions,” says Brittany Graham, the Col-lege’s sustainability coordinator. North Central al-ready owns two vehicles that can use the charging sta-tion.

“Encouraging the use of electric vehicles is important.

Is Naperville Ready for Storm Related Power Outage? Kelly Andereck

be the strongest driver for the overall microgrid market to-day. “Many Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and other military-related facilities already have legacy microgrids in place. What is new is that these facilities are looking to envelop entire bases with microgrids and integrate renewable distributed energy gen-eration (RDEG) onsite. When capable of safe islanding from the surrounding grid, RDEG offers the ultimate energy security, since there is no need to transport fuel to generate power.”

One of the greatest benefits of smart microgrids is that they are much better positioned than the centralized grid to meet the known and unknown needs of the future. They also back up the bulk power grid when power demand and cost are highest by supplying electricity ancillary services. Additionally, studies by the California Energy Commission show that microgrids allow consumers to procure power in real-time at significantly lower costs, while using local generation to hedge peak power costs. Moreover, they found that the microgrid model usually includes third-party financing and long-term modernization plans, which diminish the infrastructure improvement costs that are typically passed on to ratepayers. Microgrids jump-start economies through new job creation at the local level and new business opportunities for stakeholders. The implementation increases local investment through community on-bill financing of energy efficiency, local spending on grid improvements and integration of distributed energy and other smart technologies.

Finally, in combination with smart meters, this ratepayer sees a future Naperville as a beacon of light in a blackout. One in which, the Smart microgrid increases our reliability locally through the establishment of a specific Reliability Improvement Plan that integrates various redundant distribution systems, smart switches, automation, homeowner power generation, power storage and other smart technologies. The local power generation and storage reduces our purchasing from suppliers and allows portions of the grid and critical facilities to operate independent of the larger grid when necessary and thus elimi-nates any blackouts.

Last year, when Super-storm Sandy hit the Jersey shore leaving a path of destruction and chaos, it also left more than 8 million people without power. A year or so earlier in 2011, San Diego County was hit with a massive blackout that affected five (5) utilities and left the area without electricity for 11 hours. In both cases , individuals or institutions took matters into their own hands. The most significant being the University of California San Diego, at which the UC San Diego campus stayed lit while the rest of the city was dark, and it was all due to UCSD's pioneering Microgrid, which provides 90 percent (%) of UCSD's power. As a result, the California Energy Commission in early January provided more than $1.8 million into UCSD's microgrid to help the University complete it’s Microgrid as a model for the rest of the state and nation.

One might ask, why is this a topic of discussion for Naperville’s Green Marketplace or for that matter, the Midwest. The counter argument might be that a warming climate changes the jet stream affecting our region from one with typical seasonal conditions we have all grown accustom to, to one more similar to St. Louis where ice storms are prevalent in winter and hotter temperatures are the norm in summer. This will lead to more power outages do to an over capacity electric grid and down power lines. A more conserva-tive argument could be security. This argument is scary at the least and down right, devastating if encountered. The disruption in bank-ing, government, schools and even traffic would stop the community in its tracks.

Currently, the Microgrid movement continues to grow. The latest impetus comes from storm victims, especially those in areas such as New Jersey who have lots of grid-tied solar. Home owners and business’ are unsure why they can't use their solar panels to power critical loads during an outage.

The fact is that, most interconnection standards mandate that the solar inverter be disabled when the grid goes down. In addition to Fire, etc., avoiding the electrocution of utility personnel working to restore faults is most critical. But as reported by the Rocky Mountain Institute it is possible to safeguard utility workers while still allowing solar panel owners to tap into their power when the grid is down. To reiterate, during the San Diego blackout of 2011, UCSD was "an island of light in the surrounding darkness" thanks to its microgrid.

IThe U.S. military, has been a leading institution moving towards microgrids. BussinessWire reported last week (Military Microgrid Capacity Will Increase 50 Percent by 2018, Forecasts Pike Re-search, Jan 13, 2013) that the Department of Defense’s efforts may

Graphic courtesy of Sandia Laboratory Directed Research and Develop-ment (LDRD) program.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s official definition of a MICROGRID is “a group of interconnected loads and dis-tributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid [and can] connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode.”

More than half of the new solar stores will get non-traditional solar panels, dubbed thin film. Wal-Mart's use of thin film on rooftops is expected to be one of the largest commercial installations of the technology in the U.S., says Jonathan Bass, spokesman of SolarCity, which is installing the solar at the stores. We are wondering, will the new 170,000 square-foot store in Naperville use solar panels? Let us discuss at our next meeting
