3 25 YEARS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY Business-as-usual campus energy consumption

4 25 YEARS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

5 25 YEARS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY 50%

6 DEEP ENERGY EFFICIENCY CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS Adopt a challenging goal Understand true potential of smart buildings Prioritize deep energy efficiency projects (>50% savings) Question and challenge status quo practices Pilot new concepts, then scale-up Use information layer to sustain performance Build team with technical and leadership skills

7 SMART BUILDINGS Just enough energy, at just the right place, at just the right time! How: Challenge all accepted design practices Use software and sensors to make building systems dynamic and smart

8 At UC Irvine... Real-time air quality sensing Software and sensors Information layer New digital skills for tradespeople

9 HOW > 50% ENERGY SAVINGS IS ACHIEVED

10 INFORMATION LAYER Continuous Commissioning (SkySpark) CDCV Submetering BMS Lighting Find failed lab air control valves Review of fume hood sash management Ensure safe lab air quality Find excessive air flows due to point sources of heat Monitoring of fans, pumps, and lighting control systems Verification of energy retrofits Reduce demand charges by modifying operations Locate simultaneous heating and cooling Reset of static pressure to minimum required Control run times of office areas Lighting failures Lights on but not occupied Occupancy cross tuning of HVAC and Lighting

11 CO-BENEFITS OF DEEP ENERGY EFFICIENCY Many deferred maintenance problems fixed/funded through energy savings Information layer provides real-time commissioning Lighting quality improved Quieter buildings inside and outside Cleaner indoor air Longer service life for heat-producing and frictionproducing building system components Avoided capital costs for generation, central plant chillers, heat, and infrastructure 11

12 ADVANCED ENERGY FEATURES Heat pump water heaters Heat pump clothes driers Heat pump HVAC SEER-18 HVAC heat pump Heat pump HVAC with ground-source field Variable refrigerant flow HVAC High-R insulation Exposed thermal mass Insulated window coverings Smart electrochromic glass Phase-change material in or behind gyp board

13 NEXT STEPS TO RADICALLY IMPROVE BUILDING EFFICIENCY? No more glass box architecture Smaller windows / less glass except for views Desiccant dehumidification More district heating and cooling More precise ways to control energy

15 NEXT STEPS TO RADICALLY IMPROVE BUILDING EFFICIENCY? Whole roof solar canopies Electric storage Chilled water storage Hot water storage

16

17 WHAT WE LEARNED PAST TEN YEARS Challenging goals matter Achievable results >> than expected Attitude as important as technology Information layer is essential Many co-benefits Deep efficiency gains require optimizing entire energy chain Deep efficiency eliminates demand-responsiveness Energy storage and smart loads are essential 17

21 Putting a Priority on Energy Management with Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI) Greg Baker Engineering Manager

22 Hawai i Energy CEI Program Goal Create an organizational culture of energy awareness, evidenced by measured energy savings, increased productivity, or both. Current Program - Private School - Hotel - Manufacturer - County of Hawai i Next Cohort: August us if you re interested! Contact your energy advisor or Nancy at Nancy.ArakakiChodosh@leidos.com

23 CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Manage energy the way you manage safety (food quality) quality (customer satisfaction) finances Familiarity with Continuous Improvement in Safety (ISO 13100) Quality (ISO 9001) Environmental (ISO 14001) Proper documentation Energy (ISO 50001) Yearly improvement in building performance

24 I am the only one accountable for the energy use in this facility but everyone has the authority to use it. Choices

25 Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI)

26 Our participation in CEI was the catalyst of the new way Stratton looks at efficiency and our facilities. Jeff Cavagnino Stratton Mountain Resort

27 CEI BENEFITS Staff engagement Lower energy costs Knowing operational risks Higher profits

28 CEI ANOTHER REASON TO DO IT

29 Energy Management How do we get there? Commitment Planning Tracking

30 Commitment

31 When we do an audit of a building, we use employees who do not normally spend time in the building to provide a different perspective [the] employee base [has] a better understanding of how they can help with energy consumption. Jeff Cavagnino Stratton Mountain Resort

32 Shut it off Tune it up Vary control Question assumptions Low-cost or no-cost opportunities

33 Engaged workforce

34 Employee engagement How do we get there? Training Ideas Communication Recognition

35 Where do we start?

36 Energy Performance Models Provoke Manage Attribute Tools that provide visibility Benefits

37 CONNECTING ACTIONS TO RESULTS

38 PEAK Demand Heat Map Analysis

39 ISO 50001: PERFORMANCE DATA The most effective way for U.S. manufacturing facilities and buildings to achieve their fullest potential in energy efficiency is to continually adopt programs and policies that improve energy performance. Savings at certified facilities greater on average compared to non-certified facilities: 3M: 62% greater over 3 years: 18 ISO sites across 7 economies; 2 US SEP, 1 Korea SEP certified; 257 non-iso Schneider Electric: 65% greater over 4 years: 20 ISO in North America; 16 US SEP certified; 30 non-iso 50001

40 ABOUT VEIC Over 30 years of enhancing the economic, environmental, and societal benefits of clean and efficient energy use for all people Comprehensive approaches, high-impact results Energy efficiency, renewable energy, and transportation Program design and implementation Transformative policy, advocacy, and research Clients: utilities, government agencies, regulators, foundations, and advocates
