5 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Explain the benefits of increased building energy performance within the context of Catholic property management. Describe at least three (3) strategies which improve energy performance. Implement at least one (1) low cost / no cost tactic to reduce your building s energy use. Locate guidelines, tools and resources to deepen your energy knowledge.

6 AGENDA Introduction Why does building efficiency and health matter to Catholics? First steps: Energy benchmarking & auditing Low & No-cost Strategies Mechanical Systems Upgrades Building Envelope Lighting Systems New Technologies & Strategies Wrapping it up Resources Discussion

7 OUR PANELISTS JERRY LAWSON ENERGYSTAR LOU ANN WRIGHT Diocese of Pittsburgh RYAN SNOW U.S. Green Building Council LOU BAIRD Baird & Associates

8 WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT HEALTHY & HIGH PERFORMING BUILDINGS? Because we are Catholic Because we are mindful of a Creation with limited resources Because we are good stewards of the funds and facilities entrusted to us. Because we are concerned for future generations catholicclimatecovenant.org

9 Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation!... The vocation of being a protector means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us [...] In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God s gifts!... I would like to ask all those who have positions of responsibility in economic, political and social life, and all men and women of goodwill: let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God s plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment.

21 ENERGY AUDITS How is the building operating? Are the systems working as intended? Where are opportunities for improvement? What is the return on investment?

22 Who has had an energy audit?

23 Energy auditing & commissioning can provide savings worth 10-20% with an average payback of slightly over 1 year. Pike Research & Lawrence Berkeley National Lab

24 In-house or Outsource?!

29 CALCULATING ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION/COSTS 1. Determine the Watt-Hours Multiply the Wattage X Number of Hours Used Example: 10 X 10 Office 200 watts X 1 hours = 200 Watt-Hours 2. Convert Watt-Hours to Kilowatt-Hours [kwh] Divide Watt-Hours by 1,000 (1 Kilowatt equals 1,000 Watts) 200 Watt-Hours / 1,000 =.20 kwh 3. Determine Usage/Costs Multiply kwh by the unit amount charged by your supplier.20 kwh X $0.11 per kwh (National Average) = $0.022/hour $.176 / per Office / per 8 Hour-Work Day $ 5.35/ per Office / per Work Month $ 64.24/ per Office / per Work Year

30 LOW & NO-COST REDUCTION STRATEGIES Interior and exterior lighting Lights Out! Eliminate unnecessary Lighting Task Lighting Dimmers and Motion/Occupancy Sensors LED Exit Signs Exterior Motion Detectors, Photo Cells and Automated Timers Daylighting Strategies Passive Energy Strategies Revisit Interior/Exterior Lighting Codes Visit your building off hours Interior and Exterior Lighting Retrofits and Upgrades

31 LOW & NO-COST REDUCTION STRATEGIES COMPUTERS & OFFICE EQUIPMENT Partner with your IT Department to determine: When to power off Computers & Office Equipment What network Equipment should remain powered on Sleep Setting Controls Digital Faxing Replace personal printers and other equipment used by single occupants, with shared equipment Specify Energy Star rated equipment

32 LOW & NO-COST REDUCTION STRATEGIES PLUG LOAD REDUCTION PLAN Unplug Chargers Power Strips to power off equipment Smart Power Strips Current Sensor Power Strip Timer Controlled Power Strip Occupancy Sensor Power Strip Vending Machines

33 LOW & NO-COST REDUCTION STRATEGIES Building Envelope Install door sweeps, weather stripping and caulk Use expanding foam, rigid or batt insulation to seal larger holes/ openings Use expanding foam at electric, plumbing, exhaust fans and other wall penetrations Replace damaged and weathered doors and windows Replace cracked and broken window panes Exterior Building Maintenance Plan Specify Energy Star rated products

34 LOW & NO-COST REDUCTION STRATEGIES Heating & Cooling Keep doors and windows closed Do not block air-flow, supply or return Use Portable Fans Check accuracy of existing thermostats Install Programmable Thermostats Establish a Maintenance Program Building Operations Schedule activities on days immediately before, or after Masses Schedule multiple activities, on the same days Limit building use during Peak Demand

35 ADJUST HEATING/COOLING SEASON SET POINTS Acceptable target temperatures according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard , Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy: Occupied Hours 68 Heating Season/ 76 Cooling Season Unoccupied Hours 55 Heating Season/ 80 Cooling Season 1 Degree Reduction or Increase = 1% Energy Savings/Cost Increase Reduce/Increase building temperature set points slowly Note: According to the Associated Pipe Organ Builders of America, organs can tolerate temperatures as low as 45 degrees without damage

38 MECHANICAL SYSTEMS UPGRADES What are the benefits of an Energy Master Plan? Provides knowledge of the building conditions and existing equipment Provides planning opportunities: Reduce energy consumption, waste and operating costs Prioritize energy efficient projects, upgrades and equipment replacement, in the short and long term. Improve Operation and Maintenance procedures, resulting in increased system performance and prolonged equipment life

39 MECHANICAL SYSTEMS UPGRADES Creating an Energy Management Plan 1. Make Commitment 2. Assess Performance and Set Goals 3. Create an Action Plan 4. Implement Action Plan 5. Evaluate Progress 6. Recognize Achievements

40 MAKE A COMMITTMENT What do successful Energy Management Plans have in common? COMMITMENT! Gain support from Key Decision Makers Creates Buy-In and Engagement need needed for success Develop an Energy Management Team Small, but appropriate Create Roles, Responsibilities and Timelines

41 ASSESS PERFORMANCE & SET GOALS Information Gathering Original Design Documents As-Built Drawings & Building Renovation Drawings Specifications Shop Drawings and Cut Sheets O & M Manuals Warranties and Guarantees (Originals) Energy Audits and Assessments Operations and Maintenance Records Preventive Maintenance Agreements Energy Procurement Contracts and Agreements Energy Star Portfolio Records Include Utility Records and Energy Performance Score Benchmarking Energy Audit

42 ASSESS PERFORMANCE & SET GOALS Energy Star - Energy Performance Target Use SMART Criteria establish set short and long term goals: Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-Bound Establish Short and Long Term Goals Short Term Goal: Reduce energy use a minimum of 5%, by May 2016, based on the 2014 baselines established by the parish. This will be achieved through the Behavior Management strategies outlined in our Energy Management Plan, which will be re-evaluated yearly. Long Term Goal: Reduce energy use by 50%, over the 2014 baseline, by May This goal will be achieved by implementing the energy reduction plans, and Behavior Management strategies, identified in our Energy Management Plan, which will be re-evaluated yearly.
