Program Design
 Designed
for Comfort, SDG&E Residential New Construction Energy Efficiency
Program
The Heschong
Mahone Group designed a residential new construction program
for San Diego Gas & Electric that complement its existing program
(which focuses on production homes). The program includes design
assistance, recognition and advertising of energy efficient
apartments, and design team incentives based on a Whole Building,
computer simulation approach, or a simplified Systems Approach. The Heschong
Mahone Group is responsible for the complete development of the
program, including: overall program design, coordination of the
engineering analysis required for the Systems Approach software tool,
brochure development, new construction representative training, energy
consultant training and training material development. The project
began with an assessment of the residential new construction market,
identification of barriers to more energy efficient construction and a
survey of market participants to gain input on potential
interventions. The Program began Spring of 2000.
Savings
By Design, CA Statewide NonResidential New Construction Energy
Efficiency Program
The Heschong
Mahone Group facilitated the design and joint development of a
statewide coordinated nonresidential new construction program for
Pacific Gas and Electric, San Diego Gas and Electric and Southern
California Edison. The program includes design assistance and owner
and design team incentives based on a Whole Building, computer
simulation approach, or a simplified Systems Approach. The Heschong
Mahone Group was responsible for the overall program design,
coordination of the engineering analysis required for the Systems
Approach software tool and brochure development, utility new
construction representative training and training material
development.

Solar
Hot Water Program
For the Sacramento Municipal Utility
District (SMUD), evaluated their current solar hot water program
marketing and outreach techniques. Made recommendations for changes
and alternative approaches.
1996
New Construction Services
For the Sacramento Municipal Utility
District (SMUD), evaluated their current array of services and
proposed changes to their commercial new construction program. Project
included leading focus groups within and without of the utility to
identify key services and opportunities.
Marketing
of Utility Energy Services
For Pacific Gas & Electric,
consulted to the Marketing Products and Services department for the
development of new approaches to marketing their services to customers
in a deregulated environment. While the details of this project are
confidential, the work draws upon our knowledge and experience with
the building design and construction community, and with utility
program implementation and evaluation.
For San Diego Gas & Electric Co.
provided technical program design and implementation assistance for
the Savings Through Design program, a nonresidential new construction
program with both prescriptive and performance options. Developed
program implementation strategy that built on California’s energy
code compliance procedures. Designed program brochures and application
forms. Trained utility service representatives and customers on how to
apply to the program and how to design beyond the energy code.
Developed technical rules for Custom Option Matrix energy analysis
approach.
SMUD
Energy Education Center
For Sacramento Municipal Utility
District (SMUD), members of the design team for the Energy Education
Center for SMUD’s new headquarters building. Coordinated in-put from
the client base of the Energy Education Center and led a focus group
of architects, engineers and building owners to provide feedback on
the proposed design.
