HomeMy WebLinkAboutD-6. LivingWise Program RenewalUB-47 APPROVED UTILITY BOARD 09/24/2018 Each student receives a Resource Action Kit containing an LED LimeLite NiteLite that uses 3/100th of a watt, an air filter alarm, a low flow showerhead, a faucet aerator and an LED energy efficient light bulb. Students install these items at home with parental involvement. Students are also provided with a household report card and home conservation check list. The 2017-2018 program resulted in the following estimated lifetime resource reductions (see attached full report for details): • 1,203,780 kWh of electricity saved • 129,179 therms of natural gas saved • 27,368,924 gallons of water saved Each year, pre and post surveys are conducted to measure the educational impact and the knowledge gained through the program. The LivingWise® program continues to be readily accepted by both teachers and parents with near perfect satisfaction survey scores (see Appendices D & F of the attached report). A lower per unit cost has been negotiated for this program based on the SCPPA joint purchasing agreement (JPA) -- making materials for the program more cost effective than if it was contracted directly with the vendor. The ability to take advantage of the quantity discount purchase through the SCPPA JPA is made possible by AMC Section 2-520(b) “Sole Source Purchase” and “Cooperative and Piggyback Purchasing” since SCPPA has conducted an acceptable competitive bidding process on behalf of its SCPPA members. FISCAL IMPACT: The $30,000 cost for the program has been budgeted under Public Benefit Fund account number 24-40-739-082-6625/RLvWis-6625.

SCPPA Contract No. 20161031-RAP Consultant, SCPPA and the participating SCPPA Member identified above agree that Consultant shall provide the Services specified herein pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between SCPPA and Consultant dated November 1, 2013, except as specifically modified herein. Scope of Services PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The SCPPA LivingWise® program directly addresses the priorities of obtaining measurable water and energy savings results and cost-effectiveness through a proven program format, featuring a turn-key set of classroom activities and hands-on home projects. Students receive kits containing home efficiency devices, which are taken home, installed, and shared with family members. They work on subjects required by state learning standards to understand and appreciate the value of natural resources in everyday life. This stimulating program shapes new behaviors and achieves instant savings results through a cost-effective mix of new product installation and resource efficiency knowledge, using the best messengers – children! Additional Benefits. The quantifiable savings often serve as a basis for excellent PR and Utility image and branding opportunities through local media coverage. The program provides complete implementation services, can be customized to the needs of the target audience, and can also deliver the benefits of customer audit information, strategic partnerships/cost-sharing, and promoting other company programs. SCPPA LivingWise® at a glance: ♦ Proven to deliver lasting quantifiable results and measurable savings. ♦ Simple and very cost-effective. ♦ Includes all implementation services. ♦ Features a fun and interactive curriculum to shape new family habits and usage. ♦ Includes Resource Action Kits to directly install resource-efficient technologies in the home.  Delivers Measurable Savings Results. Students conduct a simple home audit to determine areas where their families are using water and energy inefficiently. Families work together to improve efficiency by changing usage habits and through the installation of the conservation technologies provided to each student in their Resource Action Kit. Kits include conservation measures and simple test equipment to enable the family to determine the energy and resource conservation opportunities that exist in their home while providing the installable resource conservation technologies to achieve quantifiable savings. These activities foster family cooperation and help educate parents on the benefits of resource conservation. Students submit reports detailing the results of their conservation activities. UB-49  Water and Energy Education. The SCPPA LivingWise® Program combines classroom activities with in-home, hands-on retrofit projects that students perform with their families. This combination yields quantifiable conservation results and strong practical learning, effectively shaping new resource usage behavior and attitudes. The SCPPA LivingWise® Program is turnkey and comprehensive while providing all materials, supplies, teaching tools, and support needed by teachers and participants. Learning is measured via pre- and post-test comparisons.  Builds New Resource Habits. New habits result from effective education and personal action. The program provides a wide range of teaching tools to maximize learning. The feature-rich program website, www.getwise.org, is a great resource for classes, teachers, and individuals. Beyond these computer resources, the SCPPA LivingWise® program provides videos, posters, workbooks, and other various activities to reach all types of learning preferences. New knowledge translates to action at home with the installation activities. Families discover first-hand the value of the new knowledge and habits they have acquired. TEACHER ACCEPTANCE Program success directly correlates to proactive teacher support and involvement. The design and content of the program are proven to motivate teachers to sign up and participate enthusiastically. There are several incentives offered by the program to ensure this: ♦ The program satisfies numerous State Curriculum Standards and helps teachers meet their teaching requirements. ♦ The program is flexible in structure, allowing teachers to schedule activities around existing lessons. The program can be run in a week or a few months. ♦ Program content and activities are comprehensive and well described through accompanying materials so that additional in-service training sessions are generally not necessary. ♦ Students LOVE the program and are both stimulated and highly motivated by the Resource Action Kits and the hands-on projects. Happy students mean happy teachers! ♦ The program overcomes an often challenging hurdle of parental involvement by reaching beyond the classroom to involve parents in their children’s education and the schools. PROGRAM GOALS ♦ Reshape family habits and reduce residential resource use. ♦ Develop community awareness about the importance of environmental issues. ♦ Demonstrate cost-effectiveness based on superior savings results, complete turnkey implementation, and satisfaction of sponsor objectives. ♦ Help generate excellent media coverage, build brand awareness, and strengthen community image. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES For each 6th grade participant sponsored, the program will attempt to fulfill the following objectives: ♦ Install 1 high-efficiency showerhead and 1 faucet aerator. ♦ Install 9 Watt LED, LimeLite night light, and FilterTone® Alarm. ♦ Check 1 toilet for leaks. ♦ Collect household audit information on 1 residential home. ♦ Reshape family resource usage habits and attitudes for 1 household. UB-50 ESTIMATED PROGRAM RESULTS Based on program experience, the following results are estimated per participant sponsored, over a conservative life of 10 years. Savings will continue into the future since the installed hardware will remain in place, and new usage habits, attitudes, and knowledge will persist. Projected 10-year Savings: ♦ 2,735 kWh of electricity (assuming 20% electric water heat) ♦ 443 therms of gas (assuming 80% gas water heat) ♦ 94,444 gallons of water ♦ 94,444 gallons of wastewater (Actual results will vary) PROGRAM MATERIALS Each sponsored teacher and student will receive a SCPPA LivingWise® Resource Action Kit that contains the following: ♦ LivingWise-Student Guide ♦ LivingWise-Workbook ♦ LivingWise-Certificate of Achievement ♦ LivingWise-Parent Letter ♦ LivingWise-Scantron ♦ LivingWise-Installation Video(DVD) ♦ LivingWise-Installation Video(VHS) ♦ LivingWise-Teacher Folder ♦ LivingWise-Kit Box ♦ High Efficiency Showerhead ♦ Kitchen Faucet Aerator 1.5 gpm ♦ 9 Watt LED ♦ LimeLite Nightlight ♦ FilterTone® Alarm ♦ Digital Thermometer ♦ Toilet Leak Detector Tablets ♦ Miniature Tape Measure ♦ Installation Instruction Book ♦ Kit Content Label ♦ LivingWise Program Unit ♦ Parent Comment Card ♦ Natural Resource Fact Chart ♦ Flow Rate Test Bag ♦ Teflon Tape ♦ Additional Information Provided by SCPPA Resource Action Programs reserves the right to change or replace any of the products listed above with products of equal or greater value based on product cost, program improvements, advancements, or specific program needs.

The 2017-2018 program was taught in 6th grade throughout the Azusa Light & Water service area. The Azusa Light & Water LivingWise Program team identifies and enrolls students and teachers within the designated service area. The program physically begins with classroom discussions using a Student Guide that provides the foundations of using energy and water efficiently. It is followed by hands-on, creative, problem-solving activities led by the classroom teacher. All program materials support state and national academic standards to allow the program to fit easily into a teacher’s existing curriculum and requirements. The participating classroom teachers follow the Teacher Book and lesson plan. Information is given to guide lessons throughout the program in order to satisfy each student’s individual needs, whether they are visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. The LivingWise Kit and Student Workbook comprise the take-home portion of the program. Students receive a kit containing high- efficiency measures they use to install within their homes. With the help of their parents/ guardians, students install the kit measures and complete a home survey. The act of installing and monitoring new energy efficiency devices in their homes allows students to put their learning into practice. Here, participants and their parents/guardians realize actual water and energy savings within their home, benefitting two generations. A critical element of RAP program design is the use of new knowledge through reporting. At the end of the program, the Azusa Light & Water program team tabulates all participant responses—including home survey information, teacher responses, student letters, and parent feedback—and generates this Program Summary Report.

Appendix C provides a comprehensive list of classrooms in grade 6 that participated during the 2017-2018 school year. Program Implementation UB-71 Azusa Light & Water LivingWise® Program Summary Report16Program Team For more than 25 years, Resource Action Programs (RAP) has designed and implemented Measure-Based Education® programs that inspire change in household energy and water use while delivering significant, measurable resource savings. All RAP programs feature a proven blend of innovative education, comprehensive implementation services, and hands-on activities to put efficiency knowledge to work in students’ homes. RAP has a strong reputation for providing a high level of client service as part of a wide range of energy efficiency education solutions for utilities, municipalities, states, community agencies, corporations, and more. In 2013, RAP was the only conservation services provider honored by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) and the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) as one of 12 top programs that provides sustained achievement. RAP was honored for market penetration, innovative design, and its ability to achieve substantial/sustained energy and water savings. UB-72 Resource Action Programs®17Program Team RAP implements nearly 300 individual programs that serve more than 650,000 households each year. All-inclusive program delivery occurs in its 80,000 square-foot Nevada Program Center where implementation teams and support departments work together to provide: • 1:1 teacher support • Curriculum development • Customized materials • Data tracking and reporting • Energy and water efficiency measures • Graphic and web design • Kit assembly • Marketing communications • Shipping • Printing • Program management • Participant enrollment • Warehousing The Implementation Team For the Azusa Light & Water LivingWise® Program, RAP assigned a specific implementation team to Azusa Light & Water made up of a PMP®-designated Program Manager, CEM®-designated energy analyst, graphic designer, outreach personnel, educator, and administrative staff. This team immersed themselves into the Azusa Light & Water brand, and handled all program implementation for Azusa Light & Water. Azusa Light & Water also received the benefit of fully staffed support departments, which worked with the implementation team to define success for Azusa Light & Water. These departments include education, marketing, information technology, and warehouse/logistics. Continuous Improvement In addition to successful implementation of the Azusa Light & Water LivingWise Program, RAP engages in continuous program improvement, as well as enhancements to educational materials, with modifications based on emerging technology, industry trends, and EM&V findings. As part of this plan, RAP utilizes an extensive network of educators for program feedback. This feedback ensures that educational components meet the changing needs of educators, keep information relevant to students, and, in turn, provide increased water and energy literacy amongst program participants. Program Team UB-73 Azusa Light & Water LivingWise® Program Summary Report18Program Impact “Upon completion of the program, participating families are asked to complete a home survey to assess their resource use, verify product installation, provide demographic information, and measure participation rates.” UB-74 Resource Action Programs®19Program Impact The Azusa Light & Water LivingWise® Program has had a significant impact within the community. As illustrated below, the program successfully educated participants about energy and water efficiency while generating resource savings through the installation of efficiency measures in homes. Home survey information was collected to track projected savings and provide household consumption and demographic data. Program evaluations and comments were collected from teachers, students, and parents. A. Home Survey Upon completion of the program, participating families are asked to complete a home survey to assess their resource use, verify product installation, provide demographic information, and measure participation rates. A few samples of questions asked are below while a complete summary of all responses is included in the appendices. Did you work with your family on this program? Yes - 73% Did your family change the way they use water? Yes - 69% Did your family change the way they use energy? Yes - 68% Program Impact 73+27+F Students who indicated they worked with their family on this program. 73% Yes 27% No 69+31+F Students who indicated their family changed the way they use water. 69% Yes 31% No 68+32+F Students who indicated their family changed the way they use energy. 68% Yes 32% No UB-75 Azusa Light & Water LivingWise® Program Summary Report20Program Impact B. Pre-Program and Post-Program Tests Students were asked to complete a 10-question test before the program was introduced and then again after it was completed to determine the knowledge gained through the program. The average student answered 5.8 questions correctly prior to being involved in the program and then improved to answer 7.6 questions correctly following participation. Scores improved from 58% to 76%. Pre-Program Score 58% Post-Program Score 76% 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 UB-76 Resource Action Programs®21Program Impact C. Home Activities As part of the program, parents and students installed resource efficiency measures in their homes. They also measured the pre-existing devices to calculate savings that they generated. Using the family habits collected from the home survey as the basis for this calculation, 618 households are expected to save the following resource totals. Savings from these actions and new behaviors will continue for many years to come. Projected Resource Savings A list of assumptions and formulas used for these calculations can be found in Appendix A.

Teacher Program Evaluation Program improvements are based on participant feedback received. One of the types of feedback obtained is from participating teachers via a Teacher Program Evaluation Form. They are asked to evaluate relevant aspects of the program and each response is reviewed for pertinent information. The following is feedback from the Teacher Program Evaluation for the Azusa Light & Water LivingWise Program. Teacher Response (A summary of responses can be found in Appendix D) 100% of participating teachers indicated they would conduct the program again given the opportunity. 100% of participating teachers indicated they would recommend the program to their colleagues. In my opinion, the thing the students like best about the program/materials is: “They loved being hands on and doing all the experiments.” Jennifer Veron, Slauson Middle School “Receiving the kit with all the shiny new things in it. Also the labs.” Dan Sojka, Foothill Middle School “They liked the large posters and being able to relate the material to what they had already learned. They loved the box with conservation items and were eager to take them home.” Dan Simonson, Christbridge Academy “Getting their LivingWise kits. They thought everything was great.” Margarita Diaz, Slauson Middle School “The students loved being able to take kits home to implement energy saving practices daily at home.” Sarah Regus, Slauson Middle School “The students enjoyed doing the activities at home, especially the toilet test. They also enjoyed the solar oven. It is student friendly.” Susan Santana, Foothill Middle School As a teacher, the aspect of the program/materials I liked best was: “I like all the information and how kid friendly it is.” Jennifer Veron, Slauson Middle School “I like the addition of the labs this year.” Dan Sojka, Foothill Middle School UB-78 Resource Action Programs®23Program Impact “The materials were well organized. The kits had useful items for home. The student workbooks were attractive and usable.” Dan Simonson, Christbridge Academy “Since I also teach math to these groups of kids, it was nice to see all the math incorporated into the program. Real life math examples.” Margarita Diaz, Slauson Middle School “I liked that the lessons were clearly laid out for teacher use. It was easy to integrate LivingWise with curriculum I was already using.” Sarah Regus, Slauson Middle School “I like the fact that it is very organized. The kids really get to see how they can do something to make a change to save energy. I also like the way you have changed the workbooks so that it is easier for students to understand the activities.” Susan Santana, Foothill Middle School In the future, one thing I would like to change would be: “Some of the classroom experiments can be hard to do because of limited supplies.” Jennifer Veron, Slauson Middle School “No change.” Dan Simonson, Christbridge Academy “Nothing, the program was great!” Sarah Regus, Slauson Middle School “One problem I have is that it is a lot to cover. We have so much to cover for our own curriculum, that I don’t always have time to really give this program the time it needs to cover all the materials and do all classroom experiments.” Susan Santana, Foothill Middle School Teacher Response (A summary of responses can be found in Appendix D) UB-79 Azusa Light & Water LivingWise® Program Summary Report24Program Impact E.
