About SEE Action
• Network of 200+ leaders and
professionals, led by state and local
policymakers, bringing energy
efficiency to scale
• Support on energy efficiency policy
decision making for:
•
•
•
Air and energy office directors, and others
Utility regulators, utilities and consumer advocates
Legislators, governors, mayors, county officials
• Facilitated by DOE and EPA;
successor to the National Action Plan
for Energy Efficiency
The SEE Action Network is active in the largest areas of challenge and opportunity to advance energy efficiency

What SEE Action Does
Offers decision-grade
information for state and local
policy makers.
Goal: All cost-effective energy
efficiency by 2020
Provides solution pathways
through market and policy
barriers to greater investment in
cost-effective energy efficiency.

How Does a Working Group Function?
• Working groups are:
– Led by co-chairs (a state or local government representative)
– Staffed by staff leads (DOE/EPA subject matter experts)
– Driven by members (from government, industry, non-profits, etc.)
• Working Groups continually cycle –
approx. every 6-12 months – through
work planning, execution, and outreach.
Plan
resources
and activities
• Each cycle builds on previous work and
responds to the needs of state and local
decision makers and the changing
market/policy landscape.
Do outreach
• Working Groups meet (via phone) as
needed
and engage
policymakers

Public Buildings – Current Opportunities
Re-Tuning Training
•
•
•
•
•
DOE, SEE Action and BOMA partnership
Four 2-day pilot building Re-Tuning trainings, summer and fall of 2013
States and local government operators may apply to participate
Learn to identify building operational inefficiencies and implement low to no-cost corrective measures
The Working Group will create a toolkit for trainers to use in developing add’l trainings in your states
High Performance Leasing Pilots
•
•
Seeking partners in state or local high-performance leasing pilots
State/local governments can take the lead on high performance leasing in one of three ways:
– negotiate high performance leasing clauses with tenants
– require a high performance lease from landlords (see Australian model)
– work with commercial real estate brokers, owners, utilities, and others on outreach and education
