Southern California Edison's 2006-08 Innovative Designs For Energy Efficiency Activities (IDEEA) Program and Innovative Designs For Energy Efficiency (InDEE) Program
What is IDEEA?
Early in the program cycle, Southern California Edison conducted Request for Proposals solicitations for its 2006-08 IDEEA and InDEE Programs. The solicitations produced bids comprised of innovative and cost-effective energy efficiency program proposals spanning most all market and customer segments. Selected bidders received portions of Edison’s approved energy efficiency program budget to develop and implement their own programs under Edison’s program administration.
Edison’s IDEEA Program focus is on different marketing or delivery methods, different market segments, and/or different technologies from those offered in the SCE portfolio. Edison’s InDEE Program differs from the IDEEA Program in that the InDEE solicitation is designed to draw proposals that place much more emphasis on innovation, market introduction, promotion, and other assistance to the commercialization process of promising new technologies.
Selected proposals filled bidders’ perceived gaps in the overall portfolio of programs offered in Edison’s service territory or proposed best practices not incorporated in similar programs in Edison’s energy efficiency program portfolio.

Jennifer Gabay, (626) 633-3118,
jennifer.s.gabay@sce.com |
Program will move new manufactured homes built in SCE's service area from what is current HUD standard construction to high performance Energy Star levels and reduce installed cooling equipment capacity by the strategic application of incentives. An educational and outreach program is also part of the proposed effort. HUD Standards are less restrictive than the California Energy Code. MHRA and Energy Star certifiers will inspect and field check homes for compliances. |

Program is designed to leverage a window of opportunity to increase the energy performance of new and modernized school buildings. Using the DSA review and approval process to identify potential energy-saving design modification opportunities and intervene during a time in the process where changes to building project drawings normally occur. The program will utilize DSA staff to flag and refer projects that just marginally exceed the energy code to an automatic plan review technical assistance team who will review the project and provide suggestions for cost-effective improvements. |
