1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of Section 1 is to provide the reader with background information and an overview of the report. The Convention Facilities Department (CFD) and the Moscone Center continue to work closely with the Department of the Environment consistently and throughout the annual mandated Department Climate Action Plan process (DepCAPs). We thank the entire Climate Action team for their support and expertise again this year. Every effort has been made to exceed expectations, while incorporating feedback provided on past CAPs, and closely adhering to the following Fiscal Year (FY) 2012-2013 instructions.

1A. GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS TARGETS & CLIMATE PLAN ORDINANCE California is among the nation’s leaders in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction initiatives. Assembly Bill 32 (AB32), the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires California to decrease GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, which is a reduction of approximately 30 percent. Then by 2050, an 80 percent reduction below 1990 levels is required. AB 32 also directed the California Air Resources Board (ARB) to create a Climate Change Scoping Plan. The ARB’s Plan recognized the tremendous ability of local governments to impact emissions reductions through policy and regulatory changes. It also determined that passenger vehicles are the single greatest source of GHG emissions in California and therefore pose the biggest challenge to meeting these GHG emissions reduction goals.

In 2008, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors passed resolution number 81-08 mandating all City Departments to reduce GHG emissions. The following guidance was included, “all City Departments shall assess greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their activities and submit, in a format specified by the Department of the Environment, a written action plan that identifies and makes recommendations on GHG emissions reduction measures applicable to [their carbon footprint].” San Francisco prepared its own Climate Action Plan and calculated 1990 GHG emissions as 9.1 million tons of equivalent carbon dioxide (eCO2) per year and determined that 51% of the City's greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation and 49% from buildings.

San Francisco’s Departmental Climate Action Plan Ordinance of 2008, Environment Code Chapter 9, established the goals to reduce GHG emissions by 20% from a 2005 baseline by 2012, 25% by 2017, 40% by 2025 and 80% by 2050. As of 2010, San Francisco had successfully reduced GHG emissions to 14.5% below 1990 levels, making it one of the first jurisdictions to meet and exceed Kyoto Protocol targets. Environment Code Chapter 9 also required individual city departments to produce annual climate action plans called Department Climate Action Plans (DepCAPs). Departments must track and report building energy usage, vehicle fuel, water consumption data, and calculate the associated greenhouse gas emissions. They also highlight innovation along with other internal sustainability mandates such as zero waste, green purchasing, and alternative transportation. Tracking resource use and greenhouse gas emissions at this level helps the Convention Facilities Department make informed decisions to further reduce emissions and conserve resources. Spring 2013 marks the fifth year of San Francisco’s Department Climate Action Plan (DepCAP) program.

~ 4 ~ 1B. OVERARCHING GHG REDUCTION & POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS The Convention Facilities Department, in an effort to reduce its impact on the environment and lead by example, has developed this Climate Action Plan to guide its project development and decision- making with respect to energy usage and GHG emissions. The Moscone Center continues to identify strategies to direct the development and implementation of GHG reduction measures in San Francisco’s Convention Facilities Department and throughout the facilities, tradeshows, conferences, meetings and events they oversee. CFD’s overarching climate goals and plan is to meet the Mayor’s challenge of reducing energy consumption in the City owned Moscone Center by 50%. The greatest accomplishment this year was completion of the $56M renovation of Moscone North and South, both on-time and on-budget. Decisions made during the renovation were informed by sustainable criteria. As a result, Moscone North and South also attained LEED Gold certification making it the first convention center on the west coast to attain LEED Gold Existing Building Operations + Maintenance, and also the largest existing building project by square footage amongst City-owned buildings to attain LEED certification.

San Francisco’s Convention Facilities Department is continuously working to minimize its GHG emissions. The development of this Plan has facilitated the review of GHG emissions-producing activities and has resulted in a number of new measures that could be implemented to further reduce GHG emissions. The 2010 Moscone Energy Study identified projects with potential savings of 41%. The 2012 retro- commissioning conducted at Moscone North and South, as part of the huge renovation, identified twelve additional projects at a cost of over $4M that would create carbon savings equivalent to more than 1500 metric tonnes, with an average payback of less than ten years. Unfortunately, funding was not immediately available to complete any of the energy efficiency measures and projects identified. However, an extensive restroom renovation with installation of low-flow fixtures was successfully completed this fiscal year, and should reduce water consumption at Moscone North and South by an estimated 30 percent. The Department continues to work towards implementing potential low cost measures and as part of a larger long-term focus on energy and water efficiency at the Moscone Center.

3. TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND CARBON FOOTPRINT The purpose of this Carbon Footprint section is to identify the key quantifiable components that make up Convention Facilities Department’s carbon footprint. This includes the consumption of energy in the three facilities that comprise the Moscone Center (North, South and West) and consists of electricity, natural gas and steam power sources used, in addition to liquid fuels from the vehicle fleet.

Moscone North, South and West all use electricity for lighting, equipment and cooling systems. Steam is used in Moscone North and Esplanade portion of Moscone South for space heating purposes, while condensate steam is used for hot water purposes. The North system also services the Yerba Buena operating and retail facilites on the rooftop. Two electric water heaters are used in Moscone North to provide domestic hot water. Heating hot water for Moscone North is provided by high pressure city steam, which provides hot water through a heat exchanger. Hot water is distributed throughout the building by means of a variable flow loop, driven by two variable-speed hot water pumps.

For Fiscal Year 2012-2013, the Moscone Center’s total operational greenhouse (GHG) emissions was 3,139.49 metric tons of CO2. This is based on GHG emissions calculated from the department’s consumption of energy and vehicle fuels, which is described in the sections below.

Chart 1: Moscone Center - Carbon Footprint Fiscal Year Comparison (2008-2013):

CO2 emission calculations are in metric tons, and exclude CH4 and N2O. These numbers originally included Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in addition to Moscone South, North and West. In 2010, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium was transferred from Convention Facilities to the Real Estate Division. For Fiscal Year 2011-2012, a total of 2,983 mt of CO2 emissions were generated. Although down from a high of

~ 8 ~ 3,799 mt in Fiscal Year 2010-2011, the improvement was likely due to the removal of Civic Auditorium from these calculations. In Fiscal Year 2012-2013, the Moscone Center’s total operational greenhouse (GHG) emissions was 3,139.49 metric tons of CO2. It is anticipated that Moscone Center renovations and improvements in key buildings systems that were completed in mid-May of 2012 will result in significant improvements to these numbers over time.

3A. MOSCONE CENTER - FACILITIES LIST VERIFICATION STATEMENT The Convention Facilities Department has reviewed the information provided by the SFPUC in conjunction with the Department of the Environment and other key agencies. The data has been verified as correct and complete including: the list of facilities; types and number of fleet vehicles; associated energy sources; and fuel consumption. The Convention Facilities’ carbon footprint including Moscone North, South and West has been calculated by the San Francisco Environment’s Climate Team using four fiscal years of data.

3B. FY 2012-2013 – MOSCONE CENTER - ENERGY CONSUMPTION CARBON EMISSIONS The Moscone Center’s total electricity for data year FY 2012-2013 was 24,775,399 (kWh) with 0.00 metric tons of CO2. Natural gas was 14,576 with 77.36 of metric tons of CO2. Total facilities steam was 35,698,100 Steam (lbs) with 3,060.36 tons of CO2. The CO2 emission calculations are in metric tons (mt) and exclude CH4 and N2O. The estimated total cost was $1,579,555.11.

Grand Totals 3,137.72 60488075 1,579,555.11

3C. 5-YEAR HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION, CARBON EMISSIONS & COST For FY 2012-2013, there were 3,137.72 metric tons of CO2 emissions from building energy, whereas only 1.77 metric tones were from liquid fuels from vehicle fleet. With the exception of steam increasing in FY 2011-2012, CO emissions from facilities energy sources had decreased in FY 2011-2012. This is largely due to the decrease in operations during renovations. Although the Moscone Center does use propane for forklifts, this information has not previously been tracked. Specific to electricity, the information provided includes 199.23 mts in FY 2010-2011 and yet 0.00 in FY 2011-2012 and in FY 2012-2013 and this is curious. This will be further explored with the Department of the Environment in the future.

~ 9 ~ It is important to note the fact that energy use is tied to use of the Moscone Center North, South and West. Attached is a quick look at how the stats equate to the kWh used. Calculations indicate an 18% reduction of kWh per attendee in 12/13 over 08/09. Energy costs have also been reflected including electricity, natural gas and steam at the Moscone Center over the last four fiscal years. Please note that the dollar amounts below reflect cost of the associated energy use and may not reflect the actual amount paid by the department. In FY2011-2012 costs had declined with the exception of steam, the usage of which is predominantly weather/temperature driven. In FY 2012-2013 costs have increased with the exception of natural gas. The charts below further highlight this data:

~ 11 ~ 3D. VEHICLE LIST AND FUEL DATA VERIFICATION STATEMENT The vehicles listed and used by SF Environment to calculate the FY 2012-2013 Departmental carbon footprint have been verified as correct and complete. The Moscone Center’s total fuel consumption is based off data that SFE has obtained from Central Shops.

The Moscone Center maintains two service vehicles. A 2004 Chevrolet 2500 Van uses CNG fuel. It is primarily used for the pick-up and drop-off of supplies needed by Engineering as well as the movement of equipment between buildings. A 1997 Ford 450 medium-duty truck is gasoline powered and is used for delivery of materials to recycling facilities, donated goods to local non-profit organizations, and equipment transport.

3E. FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 VEHICLE FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CARBON EMISSIONS The Moscone Center’s GHG emissions from unleaded gasoline in Fiscal Year 2012-2013 was 180 gallons consumed with 1.58 of metric tons of CO2. The GHG emissions from unleaded gasoline in Fiscal Year 2012-2013 was 30 GGE (Gasoline Gallons Equivalent) consumed, with .19 metric tons of CO2. Fuel consumption continues to be relatively low due to local trips or deliveries between Moscone Center buildings being the main purpose of these vehicles.

3F. 5-YEAR HISTORICAL ANALYSIS VEHICLE FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CARBON EMISSIONS There continues to be a steady decline of vehicle fleet fuel consumption at the Moscone Center. Correspondingly, CO2 emissions resulting from fuel use related to the vehicle fleet have declined each year and are quite nominal. The Moscone center has been transitioning the recycling program started in 198 from delivery to markets for revenues to commingling materials and paying the hauler, Recology, to take the materials and sort them at their Pier 96 facility. The additional data and charts below will further highlight how best practices have delivered results.

~ 12 ~ The Moscone Center has implemented fleet maintenance methods and educates employees on fleet best practices to promote healthy air and smog prevention including:

þ Identify specific plan to retire older vehicles to achieve the following benefits: Central Shops advises the department as to when its vehicles should be retired.

þ Purchase only clean light-duty passenger cars and trucks with high efficiency and low carbon impact: Central Shops advises the department as to what types of vehicles it should purchase based on their intended uses.

þ Support GSA-Fleet Management's efforts to consolidate fleet data across all general fund and enterprise departments in the City: These two vehicles are utilized extensively operationally at the Moscone Center. Consolidation of these vehicles with other departments is not possible.

þ Exercise intelligent route planning: These vehicles are utilized for short trips within the City limits. The most efficient routes, from both time and distance perspectives, are always planned out beforehand.

þ Schedule and implement regular vehicle maintenance to optimize fuel efficiency and vehicle performance: Routine vehicle maintenance is scheduled and performed by Central Shops.

þ Demonstrate education of employees to drive reasonably: Employees using these vehicles are routinely educated on the following: Driving the speed limit reduces fuel consumption; Accelerate gradually; Do not suddenly start or stop.

þ Verify use of right-size vehicles for intended application and ensure that vehicles are being used for their intended purpose: The department’s two vehicles were acquired for specific purposes. The vehicles are not utilized for any other purpose; therefore, they are determined to be of the right size for their intended uses.

4. EFFORTS IN FACILITIES ENERGY REDUCTION The purpose of Section 4 is to highlight the Convention Facilities Department’s efforts to ensure facilities energy reduction.

4A. ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RETROFIT PROJECTS This section is designed to report the status on any and all current energy efficiency retrofit projects within the Convention Facilities Department. The purpose of this section is to identify energy and water use and reduction measures that shape the Convention Facilities carbon footprint. This section does apply to Convention Facilities as the City and County of San Francisco owns the Moscone Center facilities. This section includes: Energy efficiency & retrofit projects; compliance with the existing commercial building Energy Performance Ordinance; compliance with the Commercial Lighting Efficiency Ordinance; Information technology practices. The Department will identify energy efficiency and conservation projects that utilized internal staff and resources as well as provide information on new projects and updates on previous projects previously listed in past CFD Climate Action Plans.

Energy Efficiency - Standard Operating Procedures at the Moscone Center Energy efficiency projects and employee behavior can reduce the use of natural gas, steam, and electricity in City facilities and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save money, and improve building performance. In addition to the above energy efficiency information provided, several energy efficiency measures are standard operating procedures throughout the Moscone Center:

FY 2012-2013 – Moscone Center Campus Renovation Completed The City and County of San Francisco and the San Francisco Tourism Improvement District (SFTID) delivered a $56 million upgrade and renovation of the Moscone Center in 2012. The project was the most extensive renovation of the 1.2 million-square-foot Moscone South and North facility since the opening of the Esplanade Ballroom complex in 1991.

“This center is designed to meet LEED Gold green building standards which will provide long-term benefits for patrons and residents of San Francisco.” John Noguchi, director of convention facilities for the City of San Francisco. “This is a natural extension of the Mayor’s vision of San Francisco as the most environmentally innovative city in the country.” (Source: http://www.sanfrancisco.travel/media/San- Franciscos-Moscone-Center-Undergoing-56-Million-Upgrade-and-Renovation_2.html)

The “new” Moscone Center will optimize energy performance to exceed 20% of the former building usage, greatly reduce water consumption and incorporate a new Building Automation System for Chiller, HVAC, electrical and lighting controls.

~ 15 ~ Energy Efficiency Projects Implemented at Moscone North and South during the renovation are projected to save 19.8% of energy or 2,956,365 kWh. The pay-back period for the City’s discounted energy rate is 7.8 years. However, a standard, private project paying typical energy rates of $0.14 per kWh would have only a 5 year payback period. More information on the Moscone Center achieving LEED Gold in FY 2011-2012 is provided here and in other areas of this CAP including section 3a3 Green Building.

Moscone Center Energy Efficiency and Retrofit Projects The following is a systems narrative of the energy systems at Moscone North and South prepared by EnerNOC, Inc. with further information provided for Moscone West. Several energy efficiency improvements were included as part of the recent Moscone North and South renovations that were completed in mid-May 2012; those energy efficiency measures are highlighted using italics in the narrative below. The Moscone West narrative includes energy efficiency measures that were included in the original design of the facility, which was completed in 2003.

FY 2012-2013 Renovation - Moscone North Control System Narrative and Efficiency Upgrades The control system for the North Building is DDC control provided by legacy proprietary Honeywell XL- Plus controllers. The equipment is operated according to automated sequences of operation, with the exception of equipment start-stop control, which is manually adjusted through the Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator™ (EBI) front-end graphical user interface.

Air Handling Systems: Five built-up air handling units are located in the mezzanine mechanical rooms and handle most of the facility’s primary air distribution and are composed of supply and relief fans, cooling and heating coils, dampers, along with filters and sound attenuators. Four units, AH-1 through AH-4 condition the North Exhibit Hall space, while AH-6 conditions the Swing Space, AH-7 conditions the North Meeting Rooms, and AH-8 provides air to the North Lower Lobby. These units have outside air, return air, and exhaust air dampers, but are currently operated as 100 percent outside-air systems. Four smaller air handling units serve the Lobby and kitchen. All of these units provide 100 percent outside air and do not include economizers. The loading dock is equipped with large supply and exhaust fans to provide ventilation from the outside air plenums located in mechanical rooms MER 1 and MER 2.

Cooling Systems: Chilled water for Moscone North is provided by three 700 ton Trane electric centrifugal water cooled chillers. The chillers are cooled by three cooling towers recently retrofitted with VFDs. Three headered, induced-draft cooling towers, installed during the renovation, provide heat rejection for a constant-volume condenser water loop served by three new constant-speed condenser water pumps, and may either be staged or operated in parallel. Water is distributed by means of a primary-secondary water distribution system where each chiller has a dedicated primary chilled water pump and there are two additional secondary chilled water pumps working in parallel to maintain differential pressure in the chilled water loop, sensed at two locations across the loop.

Heating Systems: Heating hot water for Moscone North is provided by high pressure city steam, which provides hot water through a heat exchanger. Heating hot water is distributed through the building via a variable flow loop, driven by two variable-speed hot water pumps.

~ 16 ~ Terminal Units: Moscone North is equipped with terminal units with hot water reheat coils for individual zone control. There are seven fan coil units which provide cooling for individual electrical rooms and support spaces. The controllers for these units were replaced in the recent renovation project, but the individual equipment remains from the original installation.

Lighting Systems: Lighting in Moscone North is primarily controlled by the central Honeywell Energy Management and Control System (EMCS). The Upper Lobby and Esplanade Rotunda areas are equipped with an additional daylight EnerNOC, Inc. harvesting system. The North meeting room lights are controlled locally with individual Strand lighting control panels in each room, which allow occupants to select lighting levels and fixture types.

FY 2012-2013 Renovation - Moscone South Control Systems Narrative and Efficiency Upgrades The control system for Moscone South was upgraded during the renovation project and provides DDC control through proprietary Honeywell XL-800 controllers. The building-level control system was upgraded to the Honeywell XL5000 control system, with a Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator™ (EBI) graphical user interface.

Air Handling Systems: Primary air distribution for most of Moscone South is provided by fifteen air- handling units. AC-1 thru AC-10 are located in a mechanical room on the mezzanine level on the north side of the South Building under Howard Street. These units serve the mezzanine level meeting rooms as well as the Gateway Ballroom. All units are equipped with economizers and cooling coils. The air- handling units serving Gateway Ballroom, AC-5 throughAC-7, are constant volume, while the remaining units (AC-1 through AC-4 and AC-8 through AC-10) were retrofitted with VFDs as part of the recent renovation. The South Upper Lobby is served by three variable-volume, single-zone air-handling units, AC-11through AC-13. These units have economizers and cooling coils which maintain space temperature in the South Upper Lobby, as well as heating coils which do not currently operate. AC-14 and AC-15 are constant volume units with economizers and cooling coils that serve back of house spaces.

The Moscone South Exhibit Halls A, B, and C are served by nine built-up air handling units located in mechanical rooms on the mezzanine level along the South side of the Halls below Folsom Street. These units each have a large supply fan, return fan, outside air economizer dampers, and heating and cooling coils. The South Building is also equipped with smoke exhaust fans for the exhibit halls and make- up ventilation fans for kitchen and support spaces.

Cooling Systems: Chilled water for cooling in Moscone South is provided by two direct-drive centrifugal water cooled chillers. Each has a dedicated primary chilled water pump with one additional standby pump. Chilled water is delivered throughout the building using a constant-flow, primary-only distribution
