2 NEW CONSTRUCTION Who is SEDAC New Construction Design Assistance New Construction Incentives Case Studies 2

3 WHO WE ARE ILLINOIS ENERGY NOW s A Public/Private Partnership The Department of Commerce University of Illinois Staff, faculty, students 360 Energy Group Private sector energy specialists UIC Energy Resources Center Staff, students To help reduce the energy footprint of the State of Illinois 3

4 WHAT WE DO SEDAC Free Services Outreach and Training Energy Assistance and Assessments New Construction Design Assistance New Construction Incentives Energy Performance Contracting Support Retro-Commissioning Application Assistance

5 NEW CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS Two approaches: New Construction Design Assistance (NCDA) Work with owner and design team to develop and meeting energy efficiency goals Set goals Develop strategies Identify incentives Open to public buildings Incentive Review (NCIR) Provide review of incentive applications for ILLINOIS ENERGY NOW Review claimed energy savings Recommend funding levels. 5

7 NEW CONSTRUCTION INCENTIVES 1. Timeline Submit Pre-application at 100% CD SEDAC reviews project Submit Final-application at project completion (occupancy) PY9: Project completion between May 31, 2016 June 1, 2017 Submit Application and all documentation prior to April 1, Funding Limits Incentives cannot exceed 100% of incremental measure cost and 75% of total cost If additional incentives are provided from other public sources, DCEO incentives combined with other incentives may not exceed 100% of cost Maximum grant award of $3/sf including high performance design bonus Contact: Simi Han SEDAC Maximum incentive of $300,000 per single location Based on 3. Prescriptive and Custom ASHRAE Prescriptive has individual measures from a list (menu) IECC 2015 Custom requires a building energy model Projects can include some prescriptive and some custom measures 7

8 NC INCENTIVES Prescriptive Lighting $0.30 / sf for each 0.10 W / sf beyond Roof $0.08 / sf / improved R-value Walls $0.10 / sf / improved R-value HVAC based on equipment efficiency Water heaters $500 / unit Kitchen Equip Varies based on equipment Contact: Simi Han SEDAC sumihan@illinois.edu Custom (requires building model or energy calculations) $0.08 / kwh and $2 / therm incentives Based on ASHRAE IECC 2015 High Performance Design Bonus (requires whole building energy model) 5%-30% beyond code $0.40-$1.40 / sf 8

9 EXAMPLE: ENVELOPE PROBLEMS Occupants were cold No continuous insulation Don t underestimate the impact of thermal bridging This is not easy to change once the building is occupied

10 CASE STUDY NEW CONSTRUCTION DESIGN ASSISTANCE Recreation Center Recommended Strategies beyond code: Install demand control ventilation throughout facility Increase efficiency of mechanical systems Utilize higher performance glazing Add air sealing to building specifications Further reduce lighting power density Recommended Strategies to add: Building Automation System Full building commissioning Bi-level switching in stairs 51% Energy Cost Savings (vs. ASHRAE ) Estimate of $64,000 in DCEO incentives! 10

11 CASE STUDY NEW CONSTRUCTION INCENTIVES Building Type Energy Measures Park District Rec Center Recreation Center Lighting, HVAC, envelope, DHW Annual Energy Savings $10,643 Total DCEO Incentives $77,467 Net Incremental Cost $57,152 Simple Payback 5.3 years What they got Prescriptive Incentive for individual measures. They did not model the building due to costs constraints What they did New 39,100 sf recreation center Increased roof and wall R-values using precast concrete Reduce lighting power density by almost 0.3 W/sf High Efficiency GSHP Open April 2014 Case study by SEDAC 11

12 CASE STUDY NEW CONSTRUCTION INCENTIVES High School Building Type K-12 Energy Measures Annual Energy Savings $9,061 Lighting, HVAC, envelope Total DCEO Incentives $110,336 Net Incremental Cost $34,137 Simple Payback 3.7 years What they did 147,867 sf addition and renovation Improved lighting Improved envelope High Efficiency HVAC What they got Incentive for 18% beyond code Case study by SEDAC 12
