WORKSHOP SESSION THREE
P2 Track Session #3 – The Brilliant Marriage of Energy Efficiency and Renewables: How to Get it Right – Bataglieri
Moderator: Peter Millar University of Nevada, Reno – Business Environmental Program
Dean R. Parker Peppermill Resort Spa Casino
U.S. buildings consume an astonishing amount of mostly carbon-based energy. In fact, buildings use an estimated 42% of the total across all sectors. This is more energy than is used in the transportation and industrial sectors. Our buildings are strongly dependent on carbon-based fuels, are responsible for the production of over two billion metric tons of greenhouse gas annually. Our buildings are generally acknowledged to be grossly inefficient. This workshop will illustrate the opportunities and methods that can significantly transform this picture, reducing total building energy use and greenhouse gas generation by an estimated 40 to 60%. Working with many real examples, technologies and approaches available today we will demonstrate how to work with, think about and implement energy efficiency and alternative energy projects for game-changing results.

The course culminates with a case study of used oil management that crosses jurisdictional boundaries.
HHW Track Session #3 – CalRecycle E-Waste Program – Carr
Jeff Hunts CalRecycle
Kevin Sanchez Department of Toxic Substances Control
This session is intended to provide an update on the regulatory efforts of both CalRecycle and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) with regard to the electronic waste (E-Waste) program. It will also provide a refresher on how the E-Waste program operates.
Due to the decline in CRT manufacture, historic outlets for used CRT glass has diminished and is providing difficulties for those recyclers looking for outlets for this material. In order to address this problem, CalRecycle and DTSC have been working on new regulations. Speakers will present the reasons for these new regulations as well as any details that are available at the time of the conference (the regulations are still moving through the administrative process and are not final as of the printing of this program guide).
Filing claims, working with recyclers, contracting with haulers, manifesting requirements; these can all be confusing to those new to the program and even those who have been working in the program can benefit from a refresher. This portion of the session will focus on the mechanics of operating under the E-Waste program in California.
