KEMA 4( <br /> David R. Millar, LEED AP <br /> Profession: Climate and Energy Consultant <br /> Years of Experience: 5 <br /> Education: B.S. /2004 /Earth Sciences /University of California, Santa Cruz <br /> B.A. /2004 /Politics /University of California, Santa Cruz <br /> Years with KEMA: 1 <br /> Key Qualifications: <br /> David Millar is an energy consultant with deep expertise in climate change issues. He has provided <br /> technical leadership on greenhouse gas emission inventory projects, economic and emissions modeling, <br /> policy /regulatory analysis, greenhouse gas verification, and climate action planning for a myriad of clients. <br /> Other areas of expertise include green building strategies, industrial energy efficiency studies, <br /> cost/benefit analysis, and regulatory compliance. <br /> Selected Professional Experience: <br /> • City of San Leandro Climate Action Plan — Mr. Millar is working with the City of San Leandro, <br /> CA to develop a Climate Action Plan to reduce community wide emissions by 25% by 2020. The <br /> plan includes goals and measures to reduce emissions from community buildings, land use and <br /> transportation, waste, and municipal operations. The climate action plan process includes <br /> stakeholder engagement with City staff, the City Council, and the public. <br /> • Ameren — Climate Action Plan Modeling — Mr. Millar is working with Ameren Inc., a large <br /> investor owned coal based utility based in St. Louis with regulated and unregulated business <br /> units in Missouri and Illinois. The project involves modeling compliance options for Ameren's <br /> business units under the proposed Waxman- Markey bill. Ten. compliance "levers" are analyzed <br /> for cost and emissions impact, including carbon offsets, purchased power, renewable energy, <br /> demand -side management, and plant upgrades. Monte Carlo scenarios are also integrated to <br /> demonstrate probability distributions of outcomes. Outputs include total compliance costs, <br /> emissions abated, total offset and allowance purchases, marginal abatement curves, forward <br /> price curves, and waterfall emissions reduction charts. The model is integrated into a <br /> comprehensive executive and planner dashboards that allow decision makers to plan for a <br /> carbon constrained operating environment. Phase two of the project includes optimization of <br /> existing assets and compliance levers using Crystal Bali software. <br /> • Platte River Power Authority Climate Action Plan — Mr. Millar worked with a coal -based <br /> municipal utility to develop a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The utility was responding to the <br /> govemor of Colorado's call to reduce statewide emissions by 20% below 2005 levels by 2020 <br /> and 80% below 2005 levels by 2050. Mr. Millar developed a model to analyze costs and <br /> benefits of various emissions mitigation strategies including wind power, demand side <br /> management, distributed PV, natural gas combined cycle, and concentrated solar. The model <br /> generated a marginal abatement cost curve (MAC) which provides a visual representation of the <br /> cost effectiveness of the analyzed measures. From the analysis, KEMA developed and modeled <br /> a recommended suite of options to meet the 2020 target at the lowest cost to Platte River's <br /> 1 <br />
