Please let me know if you have any questions. You will be meeting at the UCLA Faculty Center and parking in Lot A. Please pick up your permit first at the Westholme parking and information kiosk (Hilgard & Westholme). Directions are below and a map is attached. Do NOT park in spaces marked for X-permits, blue permits or pay-by-space. DIRECTIONS TO UCLA/LOT A: From Hilgard Ave. Go west onto Westholme Ave. Stop at the information and parking kiosk on the right to pick up your courtesy parking permit. Confirmation is in your name (confirmation # 447065) Parking Lot A is to the right and on the right (you will pass the faculty center on the right). From Lot A, walk south.

Subject: UCLA Luskin Center Advisory Board Mr. Michael Peevey, The UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation would like to express our gratitude for your acceptance of the Advisory Board invitation. My name is Alex Turek and I am the project manager for sustainable energy here at the Luskin Center. As you are now a member of the Sustainable Energy Working Group, J.R. and myself would like to take some time to review our most recent work and begin a discussion on future opportunities. As a local Board member, we thought it would be best to meet in person. It would be our pleasure to host you for lunch at the UCLA Faculty Center. If UCLA is too distant of a trek, we would be happy to meet at a point of greater convenience. If all else fails, a phone call will of course suffice. Below are some dates and times that we have set aside. November 3rd , 12-5pm November 6th , 12-3pm Ideally, we would like to get the local Sustainable Energy Working Group together at one time. We understand this may not be possible considering your schedule, but if you could indicate the day and times that you are available and the meeting type you’d prefer, we will try our best to coordinate. Thank you again for becoming an Advisory Board member. We very much look forward to the partnership and to the future work we produce.

These investor-owned utilities (IOUs) have refused to provide UCLA over a year’s time with data that is crucial to the work of the Los Angeles region, directed by statute, to develop climate inventories. We are funded by the Public Interest Energy Research Program of the California Energy Commission to develop a methodology to assist localities in becoming more sustainable. The approach we are using is “urban metabolism,” an accounting of energy flows into urban systems, and waste flows out. This includes gas, electricity, water, materials, food and so forth, and waste-water, trash, air and water pollution. We are taking this method to the natural next step – geographical specificity. Only by understanding these flows by land use and socio-demographic profile, will policies to reduce flows be improved. This work is also being conducted in conjunction with, and to assist the planning efforts of the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability, composed of LA City, LA County, METRO, the South Bay Cities Council Of Governments, the Westside Cities Council Of Governments, several of the major cities in the region, non-profit organizations, other universities, and supported by businesses such as CISCO, and others. The urban metabolism accounting and mapping will also serve to inform the community green house gas emissions inventory required under SB 375, as well as to best target energy and water efficiency programs at all levels. For the past year have asked SCE and the Gas Company for zip + 4 billing data, and assured them of our willingness to enter into confidentiality agreements, and of the University’s experience in keeping data confidential. Unfortunately, we have been unable to obtain data from the IOUs beyond 1 year’s aggregated data at a zip code level; this is the same data the IOUs have provided to LA County. LADWP, by way of contrast, has provided us 10 years of billing information for water use at the address level, trusting we will honor our confidentiality agreement; the power side of LADWP has provided zip + 4 data. We are working with the cities of Long Beach, Glendale, Burbank and Pasadena to obtain similar data, all cities that have their own municipal utilities. Clearly the level of aggregation provided by the IOUs will not yield the kind of insights into places in the region where there are high or low levels of energy use, nor insights about differences in this large region, such as climate, socio-demographic characteristics and land uses. Further, one year’s data does not take allow an understanding of the impacts of fluctuations in weather and rainfall on energy use. In sum, little to nothing can be done with the data from the IOUs, other than develop inferences that may be inaccurate, thus not furthering smart programs and policies to move the Los Angeles region to greater sustainability. We believe the investor-owned utilities – as publicly regulated entities – have a responsibility to provide data to further the public interest. UCLA is a public institution, our research is publicly funded, and we are working with other public institutions – local governments – to develop responsible, effective and intelligent programs and policies. This cannot be done without data. It is beyond our comprehension how the 15/15 rule prevents zip + 4 aggregation of electricity and gas use, especially at the residential level. It is beyond our comprehension how the utilities, given the urgency of reducing energy use, and our assurances of confidentiality (we have even offered to destroy the data once we have conducted our analysis), can refuse to provide this information. We hope that you will bring this situation to the attention of the Public Utilities Commission and the blockage can be addressed. It is stymieing the implementation of state law, and innovative approaches for a more sustainable future. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.

I meant Mike Peevy of the CPUC. I''ll reach out to all three. Thanks. J.R.

Please complete the remainder of the attached form. I was not sure what CEC and ARB project(s) to list associated with the Robert Weisenmiller and Mary Nichols. Did you intend to say CEC’s chair Weisenmiller or instead Michael Peevey at the PUC? I do not know Weinsenmiller and so would not be the best person to request his permission to list as a reference. The ask to Mary might be best coming from you as well.
