1 AVOIDING 2015 MINNESOTA ENERGY CODE VIOLATIONS Commercial Energy Codes Support Program Pilot Russ Landry, PE, LEED AP Megan Hoye, LEED AP

2 Pilot Program Support This project is supported by a grant from the MN Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources through the Conservation Applied Research and Development (CARD) program. Pg. 2

3 What We Will Cover: Program Overview Initial Findings Objectives & program approaches Program development Recruitment tactics Tools & support provided Initial compliance findings Challenging measures Participant & focus group feedback Pg. 3

4 Program Focus: Objectives, Approaches, and Tools Pg. 4

5 Research Predicate 2012 State of MN Compliance Study reported 90% line-item compliance NY energy impact quantification study showed that a similar compliance rate equated to 36% energy compliant performance Pg. 5

6 PILOT The Commercial Energy Codes Support Program PRIMARY OBJECTIVE Establish a successful precedent for CIP funded commercial energy code compliance programs in MN ACTIVITIES Develop & deliver 2 targeted, parallel pilot approaches Evaluate the energy savings & cost-effectiveness of these approaches; post-participant surveys Document lessons learned to guide future program design Evaluate the potential for a 2 nd tier whole-building path Pg. 6

7 Approaches & Scope Test the energy savings impacts of 2 approaches under 1 program umbrella Pilot Approach 1 Pilot Approach 2 Design Team Support Small Buildings Prescriptive Code Path Code Official Support Large/Complex Buildings Performance or Prescriptive ~40 Buildings (+ control group) buildings Pg. 7
