13. On December 31, 2012, PMC distributed the Final Energy Action Plan , detailing
Temple City 's electricity profile and provi'ding a menu of strategies for reducing
energy usage throughout the City .
ANALYSIS:
The Plan is the product of a year-long collaboration between the City, the COG and
PMC . Membership in the COG has enabled Temple City to participate in the Plan 's
development at a significant cost savings . While a typical Energy Action Plan costs
between $40,000 and $80,000 to create, Temple City 's Plan was developed as part of
the annual dues for COG membership (i.e ., $15,725). The Plan provides a roadmap to
help Temple City meet AB 32 GHG emissions reduction targets by defining the City 's
long-term vision and commitment to achieve energy efficiency in the community and in
municipal operations .
The Plan qualifies the City to seek grant funding to finance energy efficient
improvements that will reduce energy bills of the City, residents and businesses.
Implementation of the Plan will lessen the community 's environmental impact
associated with energy consumption . The Plan also provides critical baseline data that
the State requires from cities to address GHG emissions. Finally, the Plan serves as a
foundation for future planning efforts such as general plan updates, climate action
plans, and Housing Element and zoning code updates .
The Plan is broken into four main sections : Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Forecast ;
Electricity Profile; Electricity Energy Efficiency Strategy; and Implementation:
1. Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Forecast
The City began the planning process by completing a GHG emissions inventory
and forecast (Inventory). The Inventory provides a detailed summary of the largest
sources of GHG emissions and electricity trends throughout the community and in
municipal facilities . This information helps the City identify opportunities for
reductions in energy usage that respond to local conditions.
The Inventory provides total GHG emissions and electricity-specific emissions for
a baseline year (i.e ., 2006) as well as an update for an interim year (i .e ., 201 0).
This information has been translated into the common measure of metric tons of
carbon dioxide equivalent (MTC02e). This measure serves as a common
benchmark that allows for accurate comparison between all cities in the San
Gabriel Valley participating in the Plan .
AB 32 recommends that local governments adopt a GHG reduction target of 15%
below baseline levels by 2020. To achieve this goal , the City would need to
facilitate a reduction in emissions of 17,470 MTC02e . Since 2006, the City has put
City Council
January 15, 2013
Page 4
energy efficiency measures into place resulting in a decrease of GHG emissions.
In 2006 , Temple City emitted approximately 186 ,320 MTC02e of greenhouse
gases, while 2010 emissions are estimated at 178,420 MTC02e , representing a
4% reduction.
The Community-Wide Inventory includes activity data for many community sectors
including energy, transportation , waste , off-road equipment, water. and
wastewater . On-road transportation created the most GHG emissions in the City in
the baseline year, 98,830 MTC02e. or 53% of the 186,320 MTC02e total.
Emissions went down in most community sectors between 2006 and 2010 .
The Municipal Inventory includes GHG emissions from the operations and
activities conducted by the City . Outdoor lighting created the most GHG emissions
from City facilities in the baseline year, 360 MTC02e, or 41% of the 880 MTC02 e
total. Emissions remained roughly the same for municipal operations between
2006 and 2010 .
The Inventory also includes em1ss1ons forecasts for three different scenarios
relative to the baseline year emissions levels : Business As Usual , which assumes
no actions or policies will be put in place to reduce GHG emissions; Adjusted
Business As Usual, which accounts for State actions to reduce GHG emissions,
such as regulations affecting vehicle and building standards; and State 's
Recommended 2020 Reduction Targets , which forecasts GHG emissions
combining the State's reduction targets with the City's Energy Action Plan .
2. Electricity Profile
The Electricity Profile (Profile) explains how electricity is used by the City and
various parts of the community . The most common uses of electricity are : lighting
and heating/cooling buildings ; powering appliances; and pumping water around
the City into homes and treatment plants . The Plan outlines practical programs
and policies to support efficiency and conservation of electricity in the community .
For example , when completing energy efficiency retrofits of buildings , there is a
loading order that should be followed to maximize energy savings while minimizing
added costs .
The Community-Wide Profile measures residential electricity use on a per
household basis. It notes that 89 .2% of total land area within the City is designated
for residential development, making it the predominant land use. Additionally, the
majority of homes (i.e ., 88% of housing units) are single-family residences . These
homes , especially those more than 30 years old, represent the greatest
opportunity for energy reductions in the City. Temple City's per household
electricity use is slightly higher than average for the San Gabriel Valley, and
slightly lower than average for California . The Community-Wide Profile also
measures electricity use within the commercial and industrial employment sector
City Council
January 15, 2013
Page 5
on a per job basis . The City 's per job electricity use is lower than average for both
the region and the State.
The Municipal Profile measures total electricity used by the City and details usage
in three subcategories : facilities; public lighting; and water pumping. Between 2006
and 2010, the City saw an increase of approximately 5% in total municipal
electricity use . Electricity used for City facilities increased by 13% over the four
year period . Public lighti ng is the largest user of municipal electricity and electricity
used for this purpose increased by 6% between 2006 and 2010 . Electri city used
for water pumping decreased by 7% over the same period.
3. Electricity Energy Efficiency Strategy
The Electricity Energy Efficiency Strategy (Strategy) has identified seven topic
areas to focus the City's reduction efforts : existing residential buildings; existing
nonresidential buildings; new development; planning framework; urban cooling;
water and electricity efficiency; and municipal operations . Each topic area
identifies a goal, which is the expected outcome related to electricity reductions.
Each goal is followed by several policies that guide decis ion-making and provide
the foundati on for quantifying electricity reduction potentials. Each policy is
supported by several implementation actions that provide interim steps or
supporting strategies to increase the electricity reduction potential of each policy.
The Strategy includes a mix of incentives, outreach, and regulatory actions to
allow for flexibility in pursuit of each goal. Incentive-based actions involve the City
working with regional, State and Federal partners to promote existing rebate ,
design assistance and financing programs. Organizations with incentive programs
include the COG , SCE , the California Energy Commission, and Los Angeles
County. Outreach-oriented actions involve promotion and education to help
residents and businesses save money on utility bills , such as employing the
Temple City Chamber of Commerce and community groups to share energy
efficiency information and resources with the community . The Strategy also calls
for the City to consider regulatory actions to reduce energy consumption. For
example , adopting voluntary guidelines for staff use in plan review that help
applicants identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements .
4. Implementation Plan
The Implementation Plan (Implementation) outlines a path for the City to apply the
strategies described by the Plan and monitor the City 's overall progress toward
achieving the electricity reduction targets. It requ ires City leadership to execute
strategies and report the progress of the Plan. The Implementation identifies the
responsib le department for each policy and offers time frames and plan-level cost
estimates for implementing each strategy . It also calls for City staff to monitor the
progress of the Plan on an annual basis and report the findings to the C ity Council
City Council
January 15 , 2013
Page 6
each year. Additionally , the Plan recommends that staff regularly review and
update the City's GHG inventory , energy profile, and action plan; continue to
develop collaborative partnerships that support implementation of the Plan ; and
support regional funding efforts to implement the Plan .
The Plan includes an Implementation Program Table which identifies : the
electricity and GHG emissions reductions expected for each action; performance
targets; expected savings for participants ; time frames; responsible departments;
and relevant partners involved.
Next Steps-Municipal Facilities and Community-Wide Audits
The municipal facilities audit performed by WES provided a menu of energy efficiency
measures (EEMs) that will enable the City to implement actions to save energy, reduce
emissions and lower operating costs . Each EEM details : anticipated energy savings ;
anticipated annual cost savings; e~timated incentives and rebates; total cost to the City;
the estimated payback period based on the overall cost and annual savings; and the
expected life of new equipment. Staff will also release a Request for Proposals (RFP)
for a community-wide investment grade audit to measure current energy usage and
potential energy savings related to: street lights; signal lights; irrigations systems ; and
heating , ventilation and air conditioning systems .
After a presentation by PMC and any public comments, the City Council is requested to
review and approve the Energy Action Plan . Upon approval of the Plan, all improvement
strategies will undergo thorough staff and engineering review to determine areas of
highest priority and greatest feasibility.
CONCLUSION :
Adoption of Resolution No . 13-4884 approving the Energy Action Plan will provide the
City a broad vision and a toolbox or menu of strategies and actions to reduce electricity
use and GHG emissions in Temple City. PMC has carefully integrated their
recommendations with the results of the facilities audit performed by WES . The Plan
also plays an integral role in the planned General Plan update, identifies opportunities
for energy efficiency throughout the community , and guides the City in creating a
comprehensive approach to energy efficiency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the Energy Action Plan will not cause immediate impact upon the City 's
budget. The Plan will allow the City to pursue a variety funding options (i.e ., grants,
incentive programs and loans) with the COG, SCE and the San Gabriel Valley Energy
Wise Partnership . The Plan recommends that the City consider using SCE 's Zero-
Interest Financing for Qualified Energy Efficiency Projects program that would allow the
City Council
January 15 , 2013
Page 7
City to repay a zero -interest loan through savings on monthly utility bills to fund
municipal retrofits . The Plan also recommends the City carry out its policies as funding
becomes available . Staff will work with the COG and other regional partners to identify
additional funding sources . Adoption of the Plan will positi on the City to benefit from
regional resources and funding to implement community-wide and municipal programs,
and provides support for the City to apply for competitive grant funding. Implementation
of specific Plan measures will be coordinated with City improvements , such as : the
Rosemead Boulevard Safety Enhancement and Beautification Project ; the upcoming
Las Tunas Drive Project; and other Capital Improvement Projects .

Following the developme nt of a baseline GHG emissions inventory, GHG emissions are forecast to 2020
under a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario based on anticipated growth in the number of residents, jobs,
and veh icle travel and the effect that growth will have on GHG emissions w ithout political, technical , or
social intervention to reduce GHG emissions. Additionally, the impact that state policies or legi s lation
will have on local GHG emissions is included in an adjusted-business-as-usual (ABAU) scenario, and the
recommended GHG reduction target to comply with Assembly Bill 32 is identified and described in
Figure ES-5 and in more detail in Chapter 2.

• CEESP Section 12.5 Goal 3: Local governments lead by example with their own facilities and
energy usage practices.
• CEESP Section 12.5 Goal 4: Local governments lead their commumtres with innovative
programs for energy efficiency, sustainability, and climate change.
The EAP meets these goals by providing goals, policies, and actions for municipal operations as well as
for community-wide activities. The CEESP also identifies a long-term vision and energy efficiency goals
for California, as well as outlining specific near-term, mid-term, and long-term implementation strategies
to assist each economic sector in achieving its energy efficiency goals.
The CPUC identified several policy tools to assist in the market transformation to more energy-efficient
products or practices, including:
• Customer incentives.
• Codes and standards.
• Education and information.
• Technical assistance.
• Emerging technologies.
The City prepared this EAP through the technical assistance program of the CEESP, which aims to
provide local governments with the technical expertise and financial resources to achieve energy
efficiency at municipal facilities and throughout the community. In 2009, , the CPUC authorized SCE to
use funding from the electricity public goods charge to complete local strategic plan activities focused on
energy efficiency. SCE is implementing the "Big Bold" strategies of the CEESP. Through this process, SCE
awarded funding to the SGVCOG and participating cities to provide funding and technical support for
preparation of city-specific EAPs through a regional planning process.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The Scoping Plan also identified a variety of measures, including regulations, incentives, voluntary actions,
and market-based approaches, to ach ieve the target reduction. The California Natural Resources
Agency has also directed local governments to assess GHG emissions through the California
Environmental Quality Act review process. The GHG inventory in this EAP allows the City to identify
the local equivalent of the State-recommended reduction target. The EAP also allows the City to
understand the GHG mitigation potential of the strategies outlined in this Plan.
Based on the funding opportunity provided through the CEESP, the EAP's primary focus is electricity
efficiency. While this EAP presents a comprehensive GHG emissions inventory and forecast, unlike
more comprehensive climate action plans or GHG reduction strategies, mitigation strategies in the EAP
focus only on electricity efficiency. Nonetheless, this Plan lays out Temple City's role in achieving State-
recommended GHG reduction targets.
CITY PROFILE
Setting
Temple City, the "Home of the Camellias," was founded in 1921 as the Town of Temple and
incorporated as the City of Temple City on May 25, 1960. It is located approximately 13 miles east of
downtown Los Angeles. The city is bounded by the communities of Arcadia to the north, San Gabriel to
the west, Rosemead to the south, El Monte to the south and east, and unincorporated areas of Los
Angeles County. Temple City is primarily residential, with diverse architectural styles that reflect the
history and development of the city, from bungalows of the 1920s to more modern apartments
constructed in the 1970s. Unlike other neighboring cities, no freeways go through the city, but the
major thoroughfare, Las Tunas Drive, runs east to west and serves as an important connection within
the city. Temple City's other main corridors are Temple City Boulevard and Rosemead Boulevard, along
with other avenues such as Camino Real, Lower Azusa Road, Encinita Avenue, Baldwin Avenue, and
Santa Anita Avenue.
History
The city was named in honor of the Temple family, one of the early groups that settled in the San
Gabriel Valley area in the mid-l800s. Originally from the East Coast, Pliny Fisk Temple married into the
Workman family, whose patriarch was a successful cattle rancher in the San Gabriel Valley and
cultivated an expansive garden, vineyard, and ranch. With his father-in-law, William Workman, P. F.
Temple worked to expand their land holdings by acquiring adjacent ranchos and subdividing the land for
prospective buyers. Workman and Temple invested in railroads, bringing people and resources to the
area that would become Temple City, and erected important buildings such as a bank, market, and
theater.
The son of P. F. Temple, Walter P. Temple, established the town of Temple in the early 1920s and
petitioned the railway company to extend its Los Angeles to Alhambra line into Temple, which spurred
growth by bringing people and resources to the new town. W . P. Temple envisioned a city where
middle-income residents could purchase their own homes, and he proceeded to lay out the foundation
of the future Temple City, dividing the area into lots and naming important streets after prominent
families.
After World War II and the proliferation of automobiles, Temple City, like other towns in the San
Gabriel Valley, experienced a population boom that transformed the primarily agricultural town into a
bedroom community for the greater Los Angeles area. Commercial development expanded along Las

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
OUTREACH TO CITY STAFF
Temple City convened staff with expertise in maintenance and facilities management for a staff
workshop to discuss energy efficiency in City facilities. The workshops gave staff members the
opportunity to learn about the Energy Action Plan project and to provide input about opportunities to
reduce energy use. A total of approximately 25-30 City employees were in attendance between the two
workshops. Participants had the opportunity to provide input on energy-saving opportunities through a
facilitated discussion. To close each workshop, participants were asked to identify their top three
priorities for ideas that would provide the best opportunities to reduce energy use in Temple City.
Results of the prioritization exercise included opportunities for:
• HVAC improvements in City Hall
• Passive climate control in City Hall
• HVAC improvements in the Live Oak Community Center
Feedback from staff workshops and other meetings with City staff helped to inform the development of
municipal projects for the Energy Action Plan.
WORKSHOPS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS
Public participation is important to developing an EAP, because it builds local capacity and momentum
for project implementation. Public participation for Temple City's EAP was designed to engage key
stakeholders at many levels. Stakeholders include community members. advocates, elected officials, and
City staff. As a first step, the project team worked with the City project lead to develop a customized
outreach strategy. Outreach efforts allowed the City to share ideas, collect input, and assess stakeholder
preferences. A summary of outreach events is shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Summary of Outreach Events
In addition to supporting development of the EAP, these events provided opportunities to educate the
community about electricity use and efficiency opportunities. Outreach efforts helped the community to
think about strategies to reduce electricity use and to improve the quality of their homes and
businesses.

CHAPTER 2: GHG INVENTORY AND fORECAST
INVENTORY AND FORECASTING PURPOSE
This greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and forecast (Inventory) provides a detailed summary
of community-wide and municipal GHG emissions. This information is used to create reduction
strategies in the City of Temple City's Energy Action Plan (EAP). The Inventory also provides a detailed
summary of GHG emissions, which can be used as a foundation for future climate action planning
projects.
Specifically, the GHG Inventory:
• Presents GHG emissions from community-wide and municipal activities in calendar year
2006.
• Provides a snapshot of total GHGs and electricity-specific emissions from community-wide
and municipal activities in calendar year 20 I 0.
• Forecasts how community-wide total emissions and electricity-specific em1ss1ons will
increase by 2020 if no behavioral or regulatory changes are made (known as a business-as-
usual scenario).
• Adjusts the GHG forecasts to account for reduction efforts mandated by the State of
California, such as new energy efficiency and vehicle standards.
• Provides City staff, decision-makers, and stakeholders with adequate information to direct
development of this EAP and to establish GHG emissions reduction and energy efficiency
targets.

GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
BUSINESS-AS-USUAL GHG EMISSIONS FORECAST
Table 6 lists the various growth indicators and sources used in the forecasting of Temple City's
community-wide emissions. For a detailed explanation of indicator methods for all sectors, see
Appendix B. Future energy use (including electricity) was forecast by assuming that the energy
consumption per household and per job would stay roughly the same over time. For residential energy
use, household growth rates are calculated and multiplied by the per-household energy use rate.
Similarly. for commercial and industrial energy use, emissions are assumed to grow with the number of
jobs.

GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
STATE ADJUSTMENTS TO BUSINESS-AS-USUAL (ABAU) FORECAST
State Reductions
The State has been a proactive force in reducing GHG emissions. Regulat ions affecting vehicle standards,
building standards, and the renewable energy content of electricity will reduce GHG levels in the city. The
state actions listed below are incorporated into the BAU forecast to create a more realistic estimate of
Temple City's future emissions. For a detailed description of these actions, see Appendix B.
Clean Car Fuel Standard (Assembly Bill (AB) 1493 -Pavley). Requires carmakers to reduce GHG emissions
from new passenger cars and light trucks beginning in 20 I I . CARB anticipates that the Pavley standards
will reduce GHG emissions from California passenger vehicles by approximately 22% of emissions in
20 12 and by about 30% of emissions in 2016.
Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS). Requires utility providers to increase the portion of energy that
comes from renewable sources to 20% by 20 I 0 and to 33% by 2020. Due to potential implementation
issues, the ABAU forecast assumes that energy providers will achieve a minimum 28% renewable
portfolio by 2020.
California Building Code (Title 24, CALGreen). Requires each new building constructed in California to
incorporate direct electricity, natural gas, and water savings .
California Solar Initiative (CSI). Provides cash rebates for the installation of an electric solar panel system.
Community ABAU Forecast
All of the state programs highlighted above are included in the community-wide ABAU forecast. As
shown in Table 9 and Table I 0, these state reduction efforts are anticipated to reduce emissions by
23,51 0 MTC02e in 2020 . The majority of these reductions are from the Pavley standards and the RPS .
In comparison to the BAU scenario, Table I 0 shows 2020 emissions with state reduction measures are
6% below baseline 2006 levels rather than 7% above baseline 2006 levels.

As previously mentioned, this EAP can serve as the foundation for future climate action planning
projects. Community-wide GHG reduction targets have been included as an informational item. While
this overall GHG emissions reduction target was consulted when establishing community-wide and
municipal electricity reduction targets, the two are not linked directly. For electricity-specific
community-wide reduction goals, see Chapter 4 .
State Recommended 2020 Reduction Targets
AB 32 recommends that local governments adopt a GHG reduction target of 15% below baseline levels
by 2020. The State has not adopted GHG reduction targets beyond 2020; however, in 2005, then-
Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order S-3-05 that created a goal to reduce GHG emissions
to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 80% of emissions below 1990 levels by 2050. While not legislatively
mandated, it is anticipated that the State will adopt targets similar to those included in Executive Order
S-3-05 after the State's achievement of the 2020 target can be better evaluated.
As shown in Table 13 and Figure 13, the City would need to facilitate a reduction in emissions of
17,470 MTC02e to meet the State-recommended AB 32 Scoping Plan goal of 15% below baseline levels
by 2020.

INTRODUCTION
Electricity used in Temple City's homes and businesses is provided
by Southern California Edison (SCE). SCE generates electricity from
a mix of nonrenewable sources, such as natural gas and coal, and
renewable sources, such as biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric,
solar, and wind . SCE operates the Big Creek Hydroelectric Plant
and San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in the region .
CITY OF TEMPLE C IT Y
Ill
CHAPTER 3
ELECTRICITY PROFILE
The amount of electricity used to power homes and businesses determines how much power SCE
needs to generate and the quantity of GHGs emitted. If the energy needed for daily activities is
decreased, reductions can be achieved in the amount of electricity SCE needs to generate and transmit.
In addition , the GHGs associated with electricity generation would decrease. The most common uses of
electricity are for lighting and heating/cooling buildings , for powering appliances such as refrigerators.
computers, and washing machines, and for pumping water around the city and into homes or to
treatment plants. An example of a home with energy-efficient features is shown in Figure 14.

GHGs from electricity use can be reduced, primarily through increasing conservation (i.e., avoiding using
electricity) and improving efficiency (i.e ., using less electricity for the same activity) when conservation
cannot be realized. Common conservation practices include unplugging appliances and electronics when
not in use and turning off lights during the day or when the room is empty. Increasing energy efficiency
means replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights and inefficient or older models
of appliances and electronics with new, preferably Energy Star (or other efficiency label) models in order
to use less energy when it is necessary.
Using small renewable solar panels can also reduce demand from SCE for daily electricity use.
Reductions in electricity used for water pumping in the community can be achieved by using less water
for irrigation and other household uses. More efficient toilets, showerheads, faucets , and drip irrigation
systems can help conserve water. These are just some examples of energy efficiency and conservation .

typically have a higher level of interest in completing home upgrades, since owners directly benefit from
lowered utility bills and increased property value s from efficiency improvements.

Estimate.s
Similar to other older cities in the San Gabriel Valley settled in the late l91h century, Temple City's built
environment reflects the heritage that anchors the city's character today. As Figure 16 indicates, about
83% of Temple City's homes were built in 1979 or before. Homes that are more than 30 years old
typically require major repairs or renovations , so a large percentage of Temple City's housing stock
could benefit greatly from appliance upgrades and infrastructure rehabilitation to minimize energy use.
The aging residential sector is the single highest electricity consumer in the city, suggesting older homes
should be targeted in the energy efficiency strategy in Chapter 4 .
Additionally, while 88% of housing stock is single-family-occupied, only 62% of the housing stock is
owner-occupied. Rental housing requires a specific approach to a residential energy efficiency strategy.
Multi-family residences often provide significant energy savings opportunities but might be challenging to
target through traditional energy efficiency incentive programs. This is a result of "split incentive," a
problem whereby the landlord has no incentive to help tenants upgrade their space or c reate
efficiencies, because the tenant sees all the benefit.

ELECTRICITY PROFILE
MUNICIPAL ELECTRICITY USES
2006 Electricity Usage
In 2006, the City of Temple City used 1,946,590 kWh of electricity. Table IS shows the total amount
used by each subcategory. i.e . buildings and facilities, public lighting and water pumping. In the buildings
and facilities sector, the two rate classes are non-demand rated (GS-1) and demand rated (GS-2). In
2006, 273,060 kWh, or 78%, of the City's building-and facility-related electricity use fell into the
demand rated group. In contrast, the non-demand rated accounts totaled 77,390 kWh, or about 22% of
the total kWh from GS -1 and GS-2 accounts. There are four types of rate classes in the public lighting
category: SCE-owned streetlights (LS-I), unmetered City-owned streetlights (LS-2), metered City-
owned streetlights (LS-3), traffic signals and controllers (TC-1 ), and outdoor area lighting (OL-1 ).
Outdoor area lighting includes metered lighting for purposes other than street and highway lighting, such
as parking lots, decorative areas, and sports and recreation areas. Only one water pumping rate code
was used in 2006 (TOU-PA-B) and accounted for 397,740 kWh of electricity use.

ELECTRICITY PROFILE
2010 Electricity Usage
The goal of identifying baseline and current year energy use is to better understand how Temple City
uses electricity and find opportunities to further reduce energy use at City facilities . Figure 19
compares the City's 2006 electricity use to 20 I 0 data and provides a breakdown of the types of
activities for which that electricity was used. Between 2006 and 20 I 0, the municipal electricity use
increased approximately 5% from 1,946,590 kWh to 2,041,700 kWh . Electricity used for water pumping
decreased 7% overall in 20 I 0. Building and facility electricity use increased 13% while the largest user,
public light ing, increased by 6% in the same period.

CHAPTER 4: ENERGY EFFICIENCY STRATEGY
REDUCTION TARGETS
The City of Temple City has identified key energy efficiency targets
that support the goals of the Energy Leader Partnership (ELP) and
local planning priorities. Consistent with the targets of the
California Public Utility Commission's California Long Term Energy
Efficiency Strategic Plan (CEESP), this Plan focuses on electricity
efficiency. Electricity efficiency also provides the added benefit of
reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions .
CITY OF TEMPLE CITY El
CHAPTER4
ENERGY EFFICIENCY STRATEGY
• Implementation Action: An action, procedure. program, or strategy to achieve the
electricity reductions of a policy. Action items provide interim steps or supporting strategies
and the range of opportunities to increase the electricity reduction potential of a policy.
Figure 21: Energy Efficiency Strategy Topics
Policy Criteria and Evaluation
Each policy is assessed for its reduction of electricity use in government operations or community
activities . In addition to electricity reductions, this EAP also identifies responsibility for implementation
and additional benefits, or co-benefits, resulting from the implementation of each policy. This assessment
recognizes the broad value of electricity efficiency for the community and the City ofT emple City. Not
only will electricity efficiency actions reduce utility bills , but they also provide an opportunity to improve
the quality homes and businesses, increase property values, improve the indoor comfort of buildings,
and reduce ongoing maintenance costs. Actions in City facilities also fulfill the City's requirements for
participation in the ELP model, helping to qualify the City for additional financial incentives from
Southern California Edison (SCE).
Electricity efficiency results from a change in operation, activity, or efficiency. In general, there are three
primary methods for reducing electricity-related GHG emissions: (I) conservation, (2) greater efficiency,
and (3) change in energy source.
Each policy in this chapter presents the following information:
• GHG reduction estimates, presented in ranges, for the year 2020 .
• Kilowatt-hours (kWh) reduction estimates, presented in ranges, for the year 2020.
• Co-benefits that will probably occur through the implementation of each policy or action.
The baseline GHG inventory and forecast serve as the foundation for quantifying the City's policies.
Activity data from the inventory. kWh of electricity, is combined with the performance targets and
indicators identified in this EAP to calculate the range of potential reduction benefit for each policy. This
approach ensures that the city's electricity reductions are tied to the baseline and anticipated uses that

CHAPTERS a
INTRODUCTION
This chapter outlines a path for the City of Temple City to
implement the strategies described in this Energy Action Plan (EAP)
and monitor overall progres s toward achieving the EAP reduction
targets.
The EAP implementation w i ll require City leadership to execute
strategies and report the progress of implementation. This Plan
identifies the responsible department for each policy and offers
time frames and plan-level cost estimates for implementing each
strategy. Lastly, successful implementation requires regular
monitoring and reporting. City staff should monitor the progress of
implementing the EAP on an annual basis and report to the City
Council about the EAP progres s each year.
CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
CHAPTER 5
IMPLEMENTATION
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Temple City will work with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), the San Gabriel
Valley Energy Wise Partnership (SGVEWP), and other partners as appropriate, such as Los Angeles
County, the Los Angeles Reg ional Collaborative, and the Southern California Regional Energy Alliance,
to identify effective procedures to track the status of energy efficiency projects without increasing the
level of effort from existing City staff. A designated City staff lead will monitor Plan implementation and
support ongoing regional collaboration. The City staff lead will participate in the identification of regional
resources available to support and streamline the implementation process.
All program activity managers will be requ ired to submit regular project updates to Temple City's
designated EAP implementation coordinator and/or energy manager, includ ing written reports of
activities and project outcomes. The energy manager will track both short-and long-term progress
toward EAP targets.
The SGVCOG is currently developing a regionally uniform method to collect, track, and report on EAP
metrics and project outcomes. The City will work with the SGVCOG and the energy manager to
benefit from these regional tools and standardize reporting processes.
Temple City finance staff will maintain records of all project costs, funds, and expenditures. City staff will
work closely with the energy manager to submit necessary reports to all funding agencies, including
required financial reports and documentation of project outcomes. City staff or a third-party inspector
will be responsible for all pre-and post-inspections of new or retrofitted work to confirm that the
projects are installed, operational, and consistent with project objectives. The energy manager w ill be
responsible for tracking all related project files and providing appropriate information to the SGVCOG
and the SGVEWP .
Crucial to the implementation of this Plan will be Temple City's implementation program. The
implementation program identifies the anticipated electricity savings , GHG reduction, agency or
department responsible for implementation, starting time frame , and co-benefits.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
The City will use the implementation program presented in Table 18 to track, monitor, and update the
EAP. As the City reports on progress in implementing the EAP, staff will evaluate the effectiveness of
each policy to ensure that the anticipated electricity and GHG reductions are occurring. In the event
that GHG reductions do not occur as expected, Temple City will be able to modify and add more
policies to the EAP to ensure the City meets its reduction target.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICY 1: ANNUALLY MONITOR AND REPORT THE CITY'S PROGRESS
TOWARD ACHIEVING THE REDUCTION TARGET.
• Facilitate implementation of policies and actions related to municipal operations.
• Prepare an annual progress report for review and consideration by the City Council.
• Utilize the monitoring and reporting tool to assist with annual reports.
• Identify key staff responsible for annual reporting and monitoring.
• CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
CHAPTER 5

IMPLEMENTATION POLICY 2: REGULARLY REVIEW AND UPDATE THE CITY'S GHG
INVENTORY, ENERGY PROFILE, AND EAP.
• Conduct an annual review of electricity usage and associated GHG emiss ions.
• Re-inventory community and municipal GHG emissions every three to five years.
• Update the Plan to incorporate new technology, programs, and policies as available to
ach ieve electricity efficiency.
• Consider updating and amending the Plan, as necessary, should Temple City find that
policies and actions are not meeting the intended electricity reductions.
• When City resources are available, integrate the EAP into a comprehensive cl imate action
plan or GHG reduction plan to incorporate GHG and energy/fuel reduction targets to
address energy supply, natural gas demand, transportation, waste, wastewater, and other
sectors as applicable .
IMPLEMENTATION POLICY 3: CONTINUE TO DEVELOP COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS
THAT SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EAP.
• Continue collaboration with the SGVCOG and participation as an active member of the
SGVEWP and the Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee.
• Participate in other SGVCOG-sponsored programs , projects, and events to help meet the
goals described in this EAP .

THE EAP.
• Work with the SGVCOG to identify regional funding sources to support policies in this
EAP .
• Ensure implementation through the inclusion of policies and action in department budgets,
the capital improvement program, and other plans as appropriate.
• Pursue local, regional, state, and federal grants as appropriate to support implementation.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICY 5: FULFILL SCE'S ENERGY LEADER PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS TO IMPLEMENT THIS ENERGY ACTION PLAN.
• Confirm review and acceptance/adoption of this EAP by the City Council.
• Identify the plan's implementation time frame to begin within six months of approval.
• Integrate EAP implementation projects into the City's operating budget.
• Integrate EAP initiatives into the City's General Plan and other appropriate policy documents.

MONITORING AND UPDATING THE EAP
Implementation and Monitoring Tools
Monitoring and Reporting Template
To determine whether Temple City is on track to meet the adopted targets, it is important that the
City monitor implementation progress on a regula r basis and identify whether the polic ies as
implemented a re achievi ng their intended reductions or if additional policies w ill need to be
implemented to meet the target.
The implementation and financial metrics identified in th is EAP have been calculated us ing an Exce l-based
workbook. This workbook calculates energy savings, GHG reductions, and financial costs and savings
based on the key metrics identified in the Plan . These performance m e trics include information such as
the average energy reduction per household, the number of trees planted, or the square feet of faciliti e s
retrofitted.
To support C ity staffs reporting efforts on the p rogress of EAP implementation, the workbook includes
a reporting template and space for staff to enter the actual performance of each policy based on the key
metrics identified. Once the information is entered for each year, updated energy savings, GHG
reduction, and monetary costs o r savings incorporated into the report templa te can easily be e x ported
and used to present EAP progress to C ity adv isory bodies, assist in annual fiscal budget planning, and
highlight City and community success in reducing energy use through City newsletters and online media.
Enterprise Energy Management Information System
The SGVCOG is collaborating with the City ofT emple C ity and Los Angeles County to implement the
Enterpris e Energy Management Information System (EEMIS) utility manager to track municipal energy
usage, enabling participating San Gabriel Valley municipalities to access facility energy consumption,
archive billing data, and report and analyze energy consumption data via the Internet. The EEMIS project
was developed in 2000 and has been adapted to assist cities in the SGVCOG with monitoring,
forecasting, and budgeting for energy use at city facilit ies.
EEMIS includes the following components and features:
• Web-based application using browser-based technology.
• Collects data from all connected facilities and stores data in a standard format.
• G e nerates usage and demand profiles for the purpose of ene rgy procurement and efficiency
project identification .
• Provides utility bill data for the d ifferent department subtenants within a building based on
prevailing rates o r customized for modified rate schedule.
• Utilizes energy cost analys is and notifications based on user-defined parameters to control
costs by ga ining experience from similar usage facilities (based on area of facility , numbe r of
occupants, size of equipment, season, historical usage over user-defined periods, etc.).

CHAPTER 5
IMPLEMENTATION
IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
The information in this implementation program provides an overall, planning-level framework for achieving the reductions in this Plan.
Table 18 presents indicators for the implementation of each policy. These indicators represent the level of participation and energy reductions
that would achieve the average range of the high and low electricity reductions in this Plan . The electricity metrics show the total number of
participating households, nonresidential square footage, and energy reduction per participant necessary to achieve each policy's average
reduction potential. Metrics for supportive policies are shown as "Supportive." Appendix C also presents the approach to quantification,
including the analytical process for identifying appropriate regional reductions, costs, and financial benefits.
Continued Partnership Opportunities
One component for the successful implementation of Temple City's EAP will be the sharing of resources through continued communication and
collaboration with other cities in the region. Continued collaboration will foster a more supportive environment to share best practices and
potentially coordinate future requests for funding and/or implementation. Efforts to implement programs and policies on a regional scale will
provide consistency in the energy efficiency market and leverage economies of scale. The City will continue to participate in SGVCOG
discussions and events related to energy efficiency such as the SGVEWP, the Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee, and
other SGVCOG-sponsored events to help meet the goals described in this EAP.

GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
California Solar Initiative (CSI)
Allows the Califo r nia Public Utilities Commission to provide incentives to install solar technology on
e xi sting residential, commercial, nonprofit, and governmental buildings if they are customers of the state's
investor-owned util ities: Pacific Gas and Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric , or Southern California Ed ison.
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (C02e)
A metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their
global warming potential (GWP). The carbon dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the
tons of the gas by the associated GWP. For example, the GWP for methane is 21 . This means that
emissions of one mill ion metric tons of methane are equivalent to emissions of 21 million MTC02e .
City Energy Action Team (CEAT)
A team assembled to provide input on Energy Action Plan (EAP) preparation and participate in EAP
implementation. The team is composed of the City's key staff and department representatives, including
those necessary to implement EAP projects, such as building maintenance staff. CEA T members support data
collection, share information on existing efforts and projects, and advise the development of EAP strategies.
Clean Car Fuel Standard (AB 1493 -Pavley)
Signed into law in 2002 and commonly referred to as Pavley standards. Requires carmakers to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from new passenger cars and light trucks beginning in 20 II . CARB anticipates
that the Pavley standards will reduce greenhouse gas emiss ions from new California passenger vehicles by
about 22 % in 2012 and about 30% in 20 16, all while improving fuel efficiency and reducing motorists' costs.
Climate Change (global climate change)
The term "climate change" is sometimes used to refer to all forms of climatic inconsistency, but because
the earth's climate is never static, the term is more properly used to imply a sign ificant change from one
cl imatic cond it ion to another. In some cases, climate change has been used synonymously with the term
"global w arming"; scientists, however, t end to use the term in the wider sense to also include natural
changes in climate.
Community-Wide Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Looks at greenhouse gas emissions caused by all activities within a city's geographic boundary. Typical
sectors include residential. commercial. and industrial energy use, transportation, off-road equipment,
waste generation, and energy associated with water delivery and treatment.
Cool California
A State-operated website that provides tools and information to residents, businesses, schools, and local
governments to take action related to cl imate change. The website links and resources related to energy
efficiency, cool roofs, grant programs, and more. The website is available at
http://www.coolcalifornia.org/.
Demand Response
Mechanism for managing end-user electricity consumption in response to energy supply conditions. A
d e mand responsive system is one that can be controlled {either directly or remotely) to reduce
electricity consumption during times of increased energy demand and/or constrained energy availability.

GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
Energy Leader Partnership Model
Southern California Edison (SCE) developed the Energy Leader Partnership (ELP) Model to provide
support to local governments in identifying and implementing opportunities to improve energy efficiency
in municipal facilities and promoting community awareness of demand side energy management
opportunities. By participating in SCE 's ELP, local governments are taking actions to support the
California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan while saving energy and fiscal resources for their
communities. In the San Gabriel Valley, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) is
leading the implementation of the ELP with SCE and 27 of the 31 member cities in the SGVCOG. The
ELP comprises four focus areas: municipal retrofits, demand response, strategic plan support, and energy
efficiency programs coordination. The ELP program has four incentive tiers for participating cities: (I)
Valued Partner, (2) Silver, (3) Gold, and (4) Platinum. Each city begins the program as a valued partner
and to advance to the next incentive tier, each participating city must achieve the pre-determined
energy savings and requirements community-wide and for city facilities.
Energy Star
A joint program of the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy to provide
consumers with information and incentives to purchase the most energy-efficient products available.
Energy Upgrade California
A new statewide program that offers incentives to homeowners who complete select energy-saving
home improvements on a single-family residence. These incentive packages encourage customers to
take a "whole house" approach by combining several related improvements at once to increase a home's
overall energy efficiency and achieve greater savings. By working with participating contractors,
homeowners can choose from two incentive options, the Basic Upgrade Package or the Advanced
Upgrade Package, based on their improvement needs and budget.

Enterprise Energy Management Information Systems
The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SVGCOG) has funded and created a program to set up
a "utility manager" computer program to track municipal usage and identify need for sub-metering to
plan, budget, and manage bills for each city facility. The SGVCOG is collaborating with the County of
Los Angeles to implement the County's Enterprise Energy Management Information System (EEMIS)
utility manager to track municipal energy usage, enabling participating San Gabriel Valley municipalities to
access facility energy consumption, archive billing data, and report and analyze energy consumption data
via the Internet. The County's EEMIS project was developed in 2000 and has been adapted to assist
cities in the SGVCOG with monitoring, forecasting, and budgeting for energy use at city facilities.
Goal
The desired end state or expected outcome related to electricity reduction targets in the Energy Action
Plan (EAP). Each goal corresponds to one of the EAP's seven topic areas: existing residential buildings,
existing nonresidential buildings, new development, planning framework, urban cooling, water and
electricity efficiency, and municipal operations.
Green Building
Sustainable or "green" building is a holistic approach to design, construction, and demolition that
minimizes the building's impact on the environment, the occupants, and the community.

GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
Implementation Action
An action, procedure, program, or strategy to achieve the electricity reductions of a policy. Action items
may provide interim steps or supporting strategies. Actions may also indicate the range of opportunities
to increase the electricity reduction potential of a pol icy.
Kilowatt-Hour (kWh)
A unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (kW) of energy used for an hour. For example, if an
appliance requires a kW of energy to function, leaving the appliance on for one hour would consume
one kWh of energy.

GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
San Gabriel Valley Energy Wise Partnership
An alliance between the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments and Southern California Edison to
bring energy savings to the San Gabriel Valley through innovative public education and energy efficiency
projects . Through this program, the SGVCOG and SCE work with local governments throughout the
San Gabriel Valley to leverage resources, share information, educate local governments regarding energy
efficiency opportunities, and implement energy efficiency projects.
Savings by Design (SBD)
California's nonresidential new construction energy efficiency program, administered statewide and
funded by energy utility customers through the Public Purpose Programs surcharge applied to gas and
electric services. Projects participating in SBD receive services including design assistance, owners
incentives, design team incentives, and energy design resources. Services begin in the project design
phase and continue through construction completion. Source: Southern California Edison
SCE Energy Leader Partnership
A program run by Southern California Edison (SCE) that provides support to local governments and
institutions to assist them in achieving a joint vision of sustainability. SCE works closely with partners to
address key issues that are barriers to achieving this vision and develop a long-term energy efficiency
strategy. For local governments, SCE provides support to identify and address energy efficiency
opportunities in municipal facilities, take actions supporting the California Long Term Energy Efficiency
Strategic Plan, and increase community awareness and participation in demand side management
opportunities. A key goal in SCE's local government partnerships is helping cities and counties lead by
example in addressing energy efficiency first in their own municipal facilities .
SCE Incentive (financial incentive)
Provisions issued by Southern California Edison in order to promote the installation of energy efficiency
and renewable projects in the utility territory. There are a variety of types of incentives, including
rebates, loans, and alternative rates. The incentives are paid through the statewide public goods charge.
Sectors
Emissions are grouped by the type of activity that generated the emissions, such as transportation,
residential energy use, or commercial energy use.
Senate Bill 375
Requires the California Air Resources Board to develop regional greenhouse gas emissions reduction
targets to be achieved from the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035. The regional
targets adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) are an 8% reduction in
per capita transportation emissions by 2020 and a conditional 13% reduction by 2035 which will be
achieved through the development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy as part of the 2012 Regional
Transportation Plan update.
Simple Payback Period
Amount of time required to recover an initial investment.

APPENDIX 8: GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
INVENTORY AND FORECAST PURPOSE
This greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and forecast (Inventory) will act as a foundation for the
City of Temple City's Energy Action Plan (EAP) by informing the City and the community of the largest
sources of GHG emissions, and thus the largest opportunities for reduction. The Inventory identifies the
major and minor sources of GHG emissions to help in the process of creating reduction strategies in
the EAP in response to local emissions characteristics.
Specifically, the Inventory does the following :
• Presents GHGs from community-wide and municipal activities in calendar year 2006.
• Forecasts how community-wide emissions will increase by 2020 and 2035 if no behavioral or
regulatory changes are made (known as a business-as-usual scenario).
• Adjusts the GHG forecasts to account for reduction efforts mandated by the State of
California, such as new energy efficiency and vehicle standards.
• Provides City staff, decision-makers, and stakeholders with adequate information to direct
development of an EAP and to establish GHG emissions reduction and energy efficiency
targets, if desired.
RELEVANT EMISSIONS
The Inventory includes the major sources of GHGs caused by activities in the City of Temple City per
best practices and consistent with the methodologies outlined in the Best Practices Memo and in the
Regional Framework and those recommended by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The
Inventory analyzes the following community and municipal emissions sources:
CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
APPENDIX B
GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
COMMUNITY
• Energy -Electricity and natural gas consumed by residents, businesses, and industry in the
ci ty in 2006.
• Direct Access Electricity -Electricity purchased by commercial customers from utilities
other than Southe rn Californ ia Edison (SCE). Direct access natural gas was not requested
a nd will not be reported in the Inventory.
• Street and Traffic Lighting -Electricity used by street and traffic lights within the city
but not owned by the City.
• On-Road Transportation -Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in, to, and from the city in
2006.
• Waste -Methane emissions from solid waste, a lso known as municipal solid waste, and
green waste, or alternative daily cover or ADC, sent to landfills and regional incinerators
(also known as t ransformation fa cilities) from the city in 2006.
• Water -The electricity used to pump, de liver, and treat water for consumption in city
limits.
• Wastewater-The energy requ ired to collect and treat the wastewater disposed of in the
city in 2006.
• Off-Road Equipment -Emissions from construction and lawn and garden equipment and
vehicles operated within the city.
MUNICIPAL
• Buildings -Electricity, natural gas, and diesel consumed by C ity buildings and facilities in
2006.
• Off-Road Equipment -Fuel used for construction projects, landscaping, or other off-road
purposes in 2006.
• Fleet -Gasol ine and compressed natural gas (CNG) used by all City-owned vehicles.
• Lighting -Electricity, paid for by the City, used by street, traffic, and/or outdoor lighting
w ithin city limits.

• CITY OF TEMPLE CIT Y
APPENDIX B
GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
KEY CONCEPTS
The following terms are used throughout the Inventory and are fundamental to unde r standing the
contents of the GHG inventory and forecast:
• Baseline year -Emissions are quantified for the base li ne year of 2006, which is consistent
with the baseline year definition of Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the California Global Warming
Solutions Act. This baseline year allows the City to track and observe the impact of its
actions taken to date and better inform future GHG reduction strategies.
• Business-as-usual (BAU) -The scenario on which all forecasts are based. Assumes no
specific actions are taken to reduce e mi ssions and growth comes from the expansion of
activity and services within the city.
• Carbon dioxide equivalent (C02e) -Represents the three main GHGs-carbon
dioxide (C02), methane (CH4). and nitrous oxide (N20)-in comparable terms, since all
three gases trap heat in the atmosphere differently. GHGs a re reported in metric tons (MT)
of C02e (MTC02e).
• Sectors -Emissions are grouped by the type of activity that generated the emissions, such
as on-road transportation, residential energy use , or commercial energy use .
COMMUNITY-WIDE INVENTORY
INVENTORY SUMMARY
The community of Temple City emitte d approximately 186,320 MTC02e in the baseline year 2006 . As
shown in Figure B-1 and Table B-1, on-road transportation contributed the highest proportion of
GHG em issions at 98,830 MTC02e, or 53% of total commun ity-wide emissions . The next largest
sectors are residential energy (47, 140 MTC02e) and commercial/industrial energy ( 16 ,850 MTC02e),
making up 25% and 9% of total community-wide emissions , respectively. The remaining sectors of waste,
street and traffic lighting, water, direct access electricity, off-road equipment, and wastewater contribute
about 12% of Temple City's total GHG emissions.

RELATION TO COMMUNITY-WIDE INVENTORY
Municipal emissions account for less than I % of community-wide emissions, as shown in Figure B-3.
Municipal GHG emissions are considered a subset of community-wide GHG emissions since the
majority of municipal activities occur within the boundaries of Temple City. This categorization means
that all municipal operations are included in the commercial, industrial, transportation, waste, or other
categories of this community-wide inventory as applicable. For example, electricity use by City buildings
is part of the community-wide commercial energy sector. Similar to the way in which businesses and
factories perform their own facility-scale GHG inventories, the municipal operations emissions inventory
analyzes municipal emissions in more detail in order to help the City assess and identify its major
sources of GHGs. Figure B-3 shows the relative scale of municipal and community-wide emissions.

APPENDIX B
GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
Assembly Bill 1493 (Pavley). Signed into law in 2002, AB 1493 requires carmakers to reduce GHG
emissions from new passenger cars and light trucks beginning in 20 II. Regulations were adopted by
CARB in 2004 and took effect in 2009 w ith the release of a waiver from the US Environmental
Protection Agency granting California the right to implement the bill. CARB anticipates that the Pavley
standards will reduce GHG emissions from California passenger vehicles by approximately 22% in 2012
a nd by around 30% in 2016, all while improving fuel efficiency and reducing motorists' costs. The car
industry is well on its way to meeting these efficiency targets.
Renewables Portfolio Standard. Established in 2002 in Senate Bill I 078, the Renewables Portfolio
Standard (RPS) targets utility providers to increase the portion of energy that comes from renewable
sources to 20% by 20 I 0 and to 33% by 2020. A June 2009 report from the California Public Utilities
Commission indicated that it is unlikely that the state and its investor-owned utilities will be able to
reach the RPS goal of 33% by 2020; according to state assessments, the forecast assumes that energy
providers w ill achieve a 28% renewable portfolio by 2020.
California Building Code Title 24. Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations mandates how
each new home and business is built in California . It includes requirements for the structural , plumbing,
electrical, and mechanical systems of buildings and for fire and life safety, energy conservation, green
design , and accessibility in and around buildings . The 20 I 0 triennial edition of Title 24 pertains to all
occupancies that applied for a building permit on or after January I, 20 I I, and remains in effect until the
effective date of the 2013 triennial edition. This Inventory focuses on two sections of Title 24: Part 6
(the California Energy Code) and Part II (the California Green Building Standards Code). These two
s ections require direct electricity, natural gas , and water savings for every new home or business built in
California. Title 24 is a statewide standard applied at the local level by local agencies through project
review.
This Inventory incorporates the net energy benefit of new Title 24 requirements that did not exist in
the baseline year. These estimates are based on California Energy Commission studies that compare
each new update of Title 24 to its former version. The AB 32 Seeping Plan calls for ongoing triennial
updates to Title 24 that yield regular increases in mandatory energy and water savings for new
construction. As such, the GHG forecast also includes a conservative estimate of the energy and water
reductions due to future updates of Title 24 based on historic growth rates. The energy reductions
quantified in the forecast from Part 6 Energy Code updates are based on the assumption that the
triennial updates to the code will yield regular decreases in the maximum allowable amount of energy
used from new construction.
Low Carbon Fuel Standard. The Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) calls for CARS to achieve a
reduction of at least I 0% in the carbon intensity of California's transportation fuels by 2020. A
prelimina ry injunction was issued in December 20 I I, which required implementation of the LCFS to be
put on hold . CARS is currently appealing the decision. Until the legal standing of the program has been
resolved, the LCFS will not be considered in the adjusted bus iness-as-usual (ABAU) forecast.
California Solar Initiative. The California Solar Initiative (CSI) is a state program that provides cash
rebates for the installation of an electric solar panel system. In order to qual ify, the customer must buy
electricity from one of California's three investor-owned utilities (SCE , Pacific Gas and Electric, or San
Diego Gas & Electric).

APPENDIX B
GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
Community ABAU Forecast
All of the State programs highlighted above are included in the community-wide ABAU forecast. As
shown in Table B-8 and Table B-9, these state reduction efforts are anticipated to reduce emissions
by 23,5 I 0 MTC02e in 2020 and 37,220 MTC02e in 2035 . The majority of these reductions are from the
Pavley standards and the RPS . In comparison to the BAU scenario, Table B-9 shows 2020 emissions
with state reduction measures are 6% below baseline 2006 levels rather than 7% above baseline 2006
levels. Similarly, 2035 emissions go from I I% above baseline levels to 9% below baseline levels after
state efforts are taken into account.

State reductions from baseline and 20 I 0 were not quantified because the effects of those programs are
already reflected in the activity data collected. For example, the efforts to increase the amount of clean
energy in electricity through RPS are already captured in the emissions coefficients used to translate
electricity use into MTC02e.
Municipal ABAU Forecast
Only certain state reduction programs affect the municipal BAU forecast. These include the RPS and the
Pavley standards. Since no new buildings are planned to be built, updates to the California Building Code
Standards, such as Title 24, and the CSI are not applicable to Temple C ity and are not quantified. Table

APPENDIX B
GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
B-1 0 shows the effect of the included state reduction efforts and Table B-1 I shows how this changes
the BAU emissions. Emissions in 2020 are reduced by 90 MTC02e in 2020 and ISO MTC02e in 2035
solely from the RPS and the Pavley standards. With state reduction measures, 2020 emissions are 9%
below baseline 2006 levels compared to I% above baseline 2006 levels in the BAU scenario. Similarly,
2035 emissions go from I% above baseline to 16% below basel ine after state efforts are taken into
account.

The next step is for the City to determine energy reduction targets for 2020 and 2035 . The new energy
reduction targets will be the goal of the EAP and a quantitative way of measuring the Plan's success. The
EAP's energy reduction targets will set the groundwork for any GHG reduction targets found in a future
climate action plan .
STATE-RECOMMENDED 2020 AND 2035 REDUCTION TARGETS
While the state reductions represent a significant decrease in emissions, AB 32 recommends that local
governments adopt a GHG reduction target of 15% below baseline (2005 to 2008) levels by 2020. The
State has not adopted GHG reduction targets beyond 2020; however, in 2005, then-Governor
Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order S-3-05 that created a goal to reduce GHG emissions to 1990
levels by 2020 and to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. While not legislatively mandated, it is anticipated
CITY OF TEMf'L[ CITY
APPENDIX B
GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST
that the State will adopt targets similar to those included in Executive O rder S-3-05 after the state's
ach ievement of the 2020 target can be better evaluated.
As shown in Table B-12, the C ity would need to facilitate an additional I 0% reduction in community-
wide emissions to meet t he AB 32 Scoping Plan GHG reduction goal for 2020. In GHG emissions, this
I 0% reduction translates to a reduction of 17,470 MTC02e below ABAU emissions in 2020. Similarly, to
be on a trajectory toward the Executive Order S-3-05 target for 2050, the City would need to reduce
community-wide emissions 50%, or 84,930 MTC02e, by 2035 .

The State-recommended reduction targets for community-wide GHG emissions can also be applied to
municipal operations. Table B-13 below outlines the State-recommended reduction targets and
necessary reductions the City would need to facilitate in order to meet the recommended goals for
2020 and 2035. Municipal emissions in 2006 are forecasted to reach 50 MTC02e above the state-
recommended reduction targets for 2020. It is important to remember, however, that state reduction
programs are not guaranteed to be fully implemented, much like the LCFS . Local action by city facility
and fleet managers are the best way to reach a 15% reduction below baseline levels in 2020.

APPENDIXC •
APPENDIX C: GHG METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS REPORT
This technical appendix provides a summary of the data sources, assumptions, and performance metrics
utilized in this Energy Action Plan (EAP) to quantify the estimated kilowatt-hours (kWh) savings and
greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. The sources and metrics are organized by policy and rely on four
primary types of data and research: (I) the city's GHG emissions inventory and forecast, (2) government
agency tools and reports, (3) case studies in similar jurisd ictions, and (4) scholarly research .
The baseline GHG inventory and forecast serve as the foundation for quantifying the City's GHG
reduction policies. Activity data from the inventory, e.g., vehicle miles traveled and kWh of electricity, is
combined with the performance targets and indicators identified in this Plan to calculate the reduction
benefit of each policy. This approach ensures that the City's kWh savings and GHG reductions are tied
to the baseline and future activities that are actually occurring in the city.
Whenever possible, emissions reduction estimates are based on tools and reports provided by
government agencies such as the US Environmental Protection Agency, California Environmental
Protection Agency, California Energy Commission (CEC), California Air Resources Board (CARB),
California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), and local air districts. If accurate
reduction estimates are not available through these tools, a case study may be used if the case study is
comparable to the conditions in the city. Finally, for reduction measures that lack actual on-the-ground
testing or analysis, current scholarly and peer-reviewed research is combined with knowledge of existing
City practices to create an estimate of potential kWh and GHG reductions.
Table C-1 outlines the sources of activity data for the community-wide GHG inventory and Table
C-2 shows the sources for municipal inventory activity data. Table C-3 and Table C-4 list the specific
emissions coefficients used for each piece of activity data and GHG emissions as shown in Appendix 8
as well as those used in the quantification presented below in Table C-5 .

Although the Bonneville Power Admini stration is not California based,
its 20 II report provides several national energy efficiency-related
behavioral change p r ogram case studies. No Califo rnia-based case
studies were available at the time o f this report. BPA reports a 2-3%
reduction per partic ipant in normative information-based outre ach
efforts. BPA notes that although reductions are somewhat small in
programs like this, participation levels a r e often high.
Note that the quantified reductions in th is policy relate most directly to
actions three and four as well as other actions in this EAP that
e ncourage electricity r e porting and monitoring. Other actions in this

counties, the average gallons per capita of water used by typica l indoor
appliances (e.g., faucets, showers, toilets, dishwashers) in a typical home
and a home that has installed high efficiency w a ter devices were applied
to find potential average gallon water savings in Temple City. This was
applied to the per gallon kWh consumption, which is based on the
City's water providers.

The actions in this policy support the 20% water reduction goal
identified in the 20 I 0 California American Water. San Gabrie l County,
Golden State Water, and East Pasadena Water Distr icts' urban water
management plans . Since the UWMP already has actions outlined to
achieve th e goal, and since the City is not a water provider. the kWh
reductions as a result of achieving the goal were quantified .
Baseline (a I 0-year average, identified in the UWMP) and 2020 gallons
per capita per day were multiplied by EAP identified baseline and 2020
service population estimates, and converted to gallons per year. The
difference between the two figures was identified to estimate the target
gallons per year reduction. The UWMP 2020 projected water use by
account type was utilized to estimate the amount of the target water
reduction that would be removed from indoor and outdoor use,
respectively.
The estimated reduction in outdoor water use was multipl ied by the
Temple City kWh per gallon coefficient, identified in the GHG
Inventory and Forecast. Indoor water use wa s assumed to enter the
wastewater system.

EEM-A: REPLACE OLDER ROOFTOP PACKAGED UNITS
The exact age of the rooftop packaged units serving the community room is unknown . However,
they are more than 13 years old. They were found to be in working condition and expected to
exceed their estimated useful life of 10-15 years . Because the community room is not utilized as
often as the rest of city hall , it is not cost-effective to replace the unit until the unit burns out. At that
time , the unit should be replaced with high-efficiency models that exceed the current Title 24 code.
EEM-8: REPAIR DUCTWORK FOR SERVER ROOM ROOFTOP UNIT
Based on conversation with city personnel , the losses in the duct work do not allow enough
conditioned air to the server room even though the unit is property sized. To remedy the situation ,
the door to the room was removed to allow more ve ntilation to the space. The current conf iguration
appears to be satisfying the space. Consideration should be given to repairing the ductwork and
adding a door to the server room upon replacement of the unit. This would allow the server room to
maintain set point temperature , while running the rooftop unit less.
EEM-C: INSTALL COOL ROOF
The current roofing system is a buill-up roof with beige color gravel ballast and appeared to be
good condition. However, additional energy savings can be achieved by replacing the roof with a
cool roof system. Cool roofs have surfaces that reflect sunlight and emit heat more efficiently than
hot or dark roofs , keeping them cooler in the sun . In contrast, hot roofs absorb much more solar
energy than cool roofs, making them hotter. An analysis of a new cool roof system revealed that
the energy cost savings do not justify the initial costs . The simple payback was calculated at 78
years . Therefore, we recommend that a cool roof system be installed when the existing roof is past
its remain in g useful life and in need of replacment.
