BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi Electric Utility provides its customers with energy efficiency
programming in a variety of ways including rebates for the purchase of
energy star rated appliances, custom business retrofits, LED lighting,
low income energy assistance, and educational services. Utilities throughout California have implemented
similar customer programs to help achieve the State's decarbonization goals and objectives. This
programming is administered by third party contractors who specialize in energy efficiency and make their
services available either independently or through a shared services agreement administed by either the
Northern Calrfornia Power Agency, or its southern counterpart, the Southern California Public Power Agency.
ln 2019, Lodi Electric Utility sought quotes from three vendors, and recommended award of an energy
efficiency educational professional services agreement with TINKER, LLC, the lowest and most responsive
bidder. TINKER, LLC performed its scope of services in an exemplary manner and under budget. While
school closures prevented in-person classroom instruction, TINKER, LLC was able to quickly adapt its
curriculum to a 100 percent digital program at no additional cost. Furthermore, TINKER, LLC has agreed to
add additional content to energy efficiency education on an annual basis at staffs direction. For example, in
the current school year, TINKER, LLC will add the topic of electric vehicles to the curriculum for early
introduction to the benefits of electric-powered vehicles to young people.
Staff recommends this multi-year agreement contingent on the availability of appropriations. The final report
of the 2019-2020 program is attached for your review.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds have been appropriated for this purpose in the FY 21 LEU operating
budget.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funds are available in account 50465100.72450

SUMMARY
Tinker LLC is pleased to submit this annual report describing the implementation and
subsequent outcomes of the Lodi Electric Utility Energy Education Program. The program
educated future rate payers (students) and current rate
payers (their teachers and parents) about energy and how
to use each responsibly
Beginning in January 2020 through June 2020, Tinker LLC
supported Lodi Electric Utility's energy effìciency education
efforts through the end to end implementation of an energy
education program within local schools. The program
included a digital energy effìciency curriculum designed to
demonstrate how small changes in energy use can make a
big impact on overall energy consumption. Students learn
about energy within the community, are taught how to use
our energy responsibility and develop energy use skills that
can be used for a lifetime.
The program featured on-demand teacher training, classroom lessons that support federal &
state education standards, and take-home energy efficiency kits for each student. Tinker LLC
manages all aspects of program design and implementation including; school recruitment,
lesson development, day to day program management and
reporting.
ln March 2020, school facÌlities were closed due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. This required Tinker LLC to explore
ways to continue implementation by introducing innovative
modifìcations to the program that were appropriate under
these extraordinary circumstances. The modiflcations included
new student driven online curriculum, a modifred distribution
method for the energy effrciency kits as well as continued effort
to identify, develop, and solidify partnerships with schools
served by Lodi Electric Utility.

ENERGY EDUCATION PROGRAM
Below are the program highlights
1. Lessons delivered through an online platform. Using an online delivery platform, our
state-of-the-art solution reflects the transition schools have made during distance
learning to digital curriculum. 0ur online platform, or Web App, included portals for
teachers, students and parents. Each portal contains relevant content and activities.
2. Lesson content. During this time teachers required
digital lessons that were developed and easy to assign
to students. As such, the program lessons were
designed as digital independent student driven lessons
with oversight from teachers. Moreover, each lesson
supplemented the traditional curriculum taught and
supported education standards.
3. Knowledge retention. Students completed a pre-
assessment prior to beginning the program to determine
the baseline knowledge of students. Assessments were
administered at the end of each lesson. At the conclusion
of the program a post assessment was administered to
determine knowledge gain.
4. Behavior change strategies. ln addition to energy
ed ucation, the prog ra m Ì ncorporated a ge-a ppropriate
behavior change strategies. This includes assigning
points and badges for actions taken as well as promoting
commitment with a pledge to take action.
5. Energy Effìciency Kits. As part of the program Energy Effrciency Kits were made available
to each student and teacher participating. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic
delivery of the energy effrciency kits transitioned from distribution by teachers within the
classroom setting to delivery directly to student homes. Parents were asked to provide
shipping information which resulted in one hundred ninety-nine (199) kits shipped to
families. The kits were packed with high effrciency products that when installed help to
curb household energy usage while reducing green house gas emissions. Students work
with their parents to install the products and report their actions.

DESCRIPTIO N
Tinker's Energy Education Program is a digital science-based curriculum designed to
teach students about energy and how to use it wisely. Offered as a completely turnkey
program, Tinker managed all aspects of program implementation.
Working with City staff, Tinker designed and customized lessons appropriate for
students attending schools in which the City serves. Next, Tinker made direct contact
with individual eligible teachers using a variety of communication tools to introduce
the program and collect enrollment commitments.
Alternative Program Delivery (COVID-1 9 Response)
ln March 2020, school facilities were closed due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. ln response, Tinker
implemented an alternative program delivery option.
Within this delivery methodology the program
lessons were designed as digital independent student studenteLearnins portat
driven lessons with oversight from teachers. All lessons supported state and federal
education standards and included digital activities designed to maximize knowledge
gain during distance learning. The lessons were delivered via Tinker's Web App which
also included on-line portals designed specifìcally for teachers, students and parents
Each portal disseminated relevant information to the user.
Through the Web App, the digital delivery of the program allowed for a variety of tools
that were used to maximize engagement.

1. All program actions were tracked and
recorded in real-time. The data was analyzed
and used to inform unique actions by
program staff and published within an on-
line dashboard. City staff was supplied
credentials to access the dashboard and
encouraged to follow program progress.
2. Additional engagement opportunities for
other Lodi Electric Utility programs were
promoted within the relevant portal.
Upon completion of the lessons, students are filled with new energy effìciency
knowledge. Each student was provided a energy effrciency kit containing home energy
saving devices During the flnal lesson the student completes exercises that require
measuring current home energy use, retrofrtting home energy use devices with the
high efficiency devices from their kit, and measuring their new home energy use This
gives families the opportunity to immediately and consistently conserve energy.
Throughout the program students complete simple surveys and assessments. This
data is collected, analyzed and summarized to gauge the impact of the curriculum on
students. At the close of the unit, the student with their parents, complete a pledge to
continue to conserve energy.
At the end of the school year all data generated from the lessons as well as any
predefìned success metrics are collected and presented in this Final Report.

During the Energy Fducation Program, data was collected at various points throughout
and evaluated to assess desired program outcomes. This includes measuring student
knowledge gained during the program, projected energy savings from the installation of the
items within the energy effìciency kit and participant feedback
3.3.1 KNOWLEDG E ADVANCEMENT
To identify the baseline knowledge of concepts taught, students completed a pre
assessment prior to beginning the program. At the close of the program students
completed a post-assessment. The results were used to determine if the lessons were
effective thus resulting in a net gain of knowledge. The outcome is below.
