Clean energy, jobs and the real estate market
By Elisa Wood
November 20, 2008
President-elect Barack Obama wants to create five million new green jobs over the next decade. This is a big goal, but in line with what clean energy industry advocates see as possible.
An upcoming international report provides some solid perspective on why green initiatives make for good job building opportunities.
Scheduled for release next summer, “Greening Buildings and Communities: Costs and Benefits,” finds that green buildings create roughly $1/square foot of value in increased employment. A typical green office creates roughly one-third of a permanent job per year. This is done by shifting spending from fossil fuel-based energy to more labor intensive domestic jobs in energy efficiency, renewable construction and new green industries.
A preview of the study, released this week by Good Energies www.goodenergies.com, also finds that green buildings are not as pricey as often believed. They add, on average, about two percent to the cost of a building. Moreover, green buildings reduce energy use by an average 33%. The extra cost of building green usually pays back within five years.
Based on an analysis of 150 green buildings in the United States and 10 other countries, the study is billed as the largest international review of its kind to date.

Obama’s effect on the world-wide energy crisis
Energy Efficiency Markets interviews Saifur Rahman, vice president of new initiatives and outreach for IEEE Power and Energy Society. Rahman expects a world-wide ripple effect from the energy policies of President-elect Obama, as the international community looks to him for leadership. Other countries will execute energy plans based on Obama’s initiatives, he says. He also critiques Obama’s call for one million plug-in hybrid cars by 2015.

Lower energy prices: Now you see them, now you don’t
By Elisa Wood
November 13, 2008
When combined with efficiency, solar homes can achieve ‘net zero’ – they consume no more energy than they produce. It is likely we will see a growing number of net zero homes built as more states reach what is called ‘grid parity’ – the cost of solar energy becomes no higher than the power we buy from our utility. Industry insiders say that about a dozen states already have reached this goal.
This is all good news. But at some point – maybe soon – the laws of supply and demand kick in, creating an odd dilemma for the clean energy industry. Net zero homes and other efficiency measures reduce the amount of power we need from utilities. And as demand drops, so do utility prices. Suddenly, solar energy is once again more expensive than utility power. Clean energy, in effect, becomes undercut by its own good work.
Bob Reedy, solar energy research director for the Florida Solar Energy Center http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/en/, sees “an uncomfortable zone” occurring in the next five to ten years when energy regulators will need to rethink utility rates. Utilities will still need to cover their fixed costs and may find it difficult to do so as efficiency reduces their energy sales. So regulators may raise utility rates, making solar power cheaper once again.

A new EE resource: Distributed people
By Elisa Wood
November 6, 2008
Energy efficiency is often described as the invisible resource. It improves our energy supply without any of the usual industry trappings: smokestacks, wind turbines, transmission lines and poles. This is one of its virtues.
But efficiency’s invisibility also causes problems. Because it operates out of sight – inside walls, underneath lampshades, and in factory motors -- efficiency tends to attract fewer cheerleaders than more obvious forms of clean power.
Peter Love, Ontario’s Chief Energy Conservation Officer, has proposed a solution: Distributed people.
“Many of you have heard of the concept of distributed generation,” he told reporters this week during a news conference. “This is distributed leadership. This is having many, many people across the province become champions for conservation.”
Love kicked off his distributed people campaign last year by calling on each city to designate municipal energy conservation champions or MECOs. Fifteen cities in Ontario responded. Now Love is pushing businesses, health care institutions and schools to do the same.
No job description exists for Love’s MECOs (or BECOs, HECOs and SECOs). There is no pay scale or training. “The main thing I want these people to do is be noisy,” he said. “Conservation is invisible. We need to have markers for it -- we need to let people know progress is being made.”
