A strawman strategic plan was drafted and sent out on December 17
th
.
c.
Are there any questions as to what was covered at the last WET meeting?
2.

Meeting Minutes
i.
The group needs to identify what needs must be fulfilled
ii.
The CPUC will put together a strawman outline for people to make comments.
f.
Report back from market sectors.
3.
HVAC report by Charles
a.
The HVAC group has been involved in one of the big bold initiatives. Residential and
Commerical AC are tuned to be 25-40% inefficient.
b.
HVAC prioritized 14 innovation strategies:
i.
Training is 2
nd
most popular. Expect HVAC group to provide needs assessment
and training for the support to be in place.
ii.
Order takers have already been set, but needs have to be assessed to determine
HVAC needs.
iii.
2.5% of HVAC installers and technicians have been certified to do their work.
iv.
There are planetary issues. Try to improve the performance by increasing
performance through certification through contractor licensing.
v.
What does this mean for WET? First goal is to focus on training, especially
training with certification. 15% certification by 2011 and 100% by 2020, along
with recertification.
vi.
Eventually contracting loss will be required. In order to meet 15%, look at EPA
regulations to understand the stringent regulations. 7,200 individuals trained by
2011, and 2,000 trained every additional year.
vii.
Work with industry to prepare certification and develop recertification process.
viii.
Work with union-based training centers.
ix.
Technical colleges have addressed HVAC training, but it has fallen by the
wayside.
x.
Carbon footprint of buildings is bigger than that of transportation.
xi.
We need to work on reducing building carbon exhaust.
c.
Support the individuals responsible for selling work. Create branding around the green of
quality work.
d.
Questions
i.
Gary Gamblem. Union apprentice would like to see career-based training and
education. Emphasize the need for career-based education, not just testing.
ii.
Look at the development of a job and not just college education. The entry-level
point needs to be embellished with respect to the green qualification.
iii.
Stepping stone being used has been lost. This is an opportunity to transform
career choices.
iv.
Give the training for vocation.

Meeting Minutes
v.
Bernie. Support certifications, but what about standards. There are technologies
for C R-10, seasonal energy efficiency rating. Compare one AC Unit. Has been
upgraded to 13, including 15 and 16, which, while more expensive, will lead to
better energy savings.
vi.
Advanced therma energy systems will be addressed. There is less headroom
however. The huge energy savings that is ramping up. There is a quality standard
with 14 points to be met.
vii.
Field adjusted CR has been dropped. The efforts have been going after the
equipment. Need field adjustment. If cr10 efficiency. Bernie Kotlier. While
field adjustment is necessary.
viii.
Aaron. Question, talk about installers. Make su
re we’re not losing energy
efficiency as well.
ix.
IT was agreed that the IQ is now IQM.

Meeting Accomplishments and Action Items (Lisa Paulo)
6.
Meeting Objectives
7.
Report Backs from Market Sectors on Workforce Needs
a.
Agricultural Sector
b.
Residential Sector
c.
Commercial Sector
i.
Groups within the Commercial sector who need education and training:
1.
Contractors and Commissioning Agents
a.
Commissioning agents are contractors or architects involved in
renovating or retrofitting buildings to become more energy
efficient
b.
Commercial is divided between new and existing buildings
i.
It is possible that building a new energy efficient building is
less expensive than retrofitting an existing building
c.
Energy efficiency classes should be required to obtain a
contractor
’s licence
i.
The requirement should exist for all new contractors, and
be included for license renewal for existing contractors
d.
California state is currently providing training for state building
inspectors to become commissioning agents
i.
A similar program is required for architectural engineering
2.
Technicians
File Name:

Page 3 of 9
Meeting Minutes
a.
There is no standard requirement for a technician to be “trained” or
“certified”
i.
Currently, “training” could come from a 1
-day or weekend
course
ii.
Certification requires passing a test for a narrow subject,
but does not mean a technician is “trained” in energy
efficiency as a whole
b.
There is a need for broader educational requirements and higher
training standards including standardized certification (e.g. 4-year
program including classroom time, certification, and field
experience)
c.
There is a need for lab space for training, which can potentially be
provided through IOU partnerships
3.
Building Code Inspectors
a.
Building code inspection is mostly at the local government level
b.
There are concerns on the varying quality of code inspections
which are not always up to the same standard
i.
Some cities have higher standards than other cities
ii.
Given this is a state-wide plan, some level of uniformity
should be established
c.
There should be a required amount of training for code inspectors,
e.g. 10 hours per year of energy efficiency related topics
d.
A comprehensive career path should be developed
i.
Go beyond the standard code inspector to create an “energy
inspector” focused on the energy efficiency of the building,
not just safety codes
e.
Performance monitoring should be established
i.
Sometimes not enough attention is paid to energy efficiency
because there is only limited time and safety codes come
first
ii.
It is unknown who would provide the performance
monitoring
f.
Mid- career and continuing education should be created as codes
and technologies evolve (e.g. demand side resource management)
4.
Building Owners
a.
Building owners, operators, and managers should be required to be
knowledgeable of building management systems that indicate
energy performance
