4 Our Homes and Buildings 5.5 million commercial buildings totaling 87 billion square feet The U.S. building stock is comprised of more than 123 million commercial buildings and housing units totaling 324 billion square feet. More than 80% of structures are at least 20 years old million housing units totaling billion square feet 37% of homes & buildings produce rental income for their owners 80 million Americans are invested in real estate through retirement and investment funds Buildings s energy bill is ~$380 billion annually, much of which is wasted Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (CBECS 2012/RECS 2015); NAREIT Reits by the Numbers; Census Bureau Quarterly Retail E-Commerce Sales 4 th Quarter

5 Our Homes and Buildings We consume energy in our homes and buildings in many ways, ranging from appliances, lighting, and mechanical equipment to personal electronics. Space heating (12%) Ventilation (1.5%) TVs, computers & related (5.5%) Other (24%) Lighting (6.5%) Washers/dryers & dishwashers (5%) Cooking (3%) Residential Energy End-Uses Refrigeration/ freezers (6%) Space heating (24%) Space cooling (11%) Water heating (13.5%) Other (34%) Office equipment (6%) Commercial Energy End-Uses Computing (5.5%) Refrigeration (10.5%) Space cooling (8%) Water heating (3.5%) Ventilation (8.5%) Cooking (3%) Lighting (8%) Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration AEO

6 Energy Efficiency Opportunities 250 Residential Commercial Using cost-effective ENERGY STAR technologies across our building stock could reduce energy consumption by 30% in homes and 21% in commercial buildings. Primary EUI (kbtu/ft 2) % 50% 21% 46% Using existing best available technologies could cut building energy usage in half Existing Stock ENERGY Best STAR Available Technology Existing Stock ENERGY Best STAR Available Technology Energy Efficiency Scenario Source: U.S. DOE Quadrennial Technology Review

7 Building Office BTO is one of 11 program and technology offices within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). ENERGY EFFICIENCY RENEWABLE POWER SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION Our FY 2018 budget is $220.7 million, or about 10% of EERE s $2.3 billion budget. DOE s total spending is about $34.5 billion. Advanced Manufacturing Building Federal Energy Management Geothermal Solar Energy Wind Energy Bioenergy Fuel Cell Vehicle Weatherization & Intergovernmental Water Power 7

8 Our Approach R&D Pre-competitive, early-stage investment in next-gen technology Integration Technology validation, field & lab testing, decision tools, market integration Codes & Standards Codes & standards development and technical analysis, standards promulgation We lead R&D on technologies that make our homes and buildings more affordable and comfortable, and make America more sustainable, secure, and prosperous. Our investments strengthen America s $68 billion building energy efficiency marketplace. Source: AEE Advanced Energy Now 2017 Market Report 8

10 Energy Efficiency can be a Key Responsive Grid Resource Energy efficiency projects remove energy loads from the grid, reducing the energy supply required. Defers or eliminate investments in new electric generation capacity or the T&D system; and Reduces peak demand and the strain placed on existing T&D infrastructure. load shaping 10

12 The Modern and thus Connected Building 12

13 Grid-interactive Efficient Building Concept 1. Lowers total electricity demand 2. Flattens peak demand 3. Flexibly aligns with variable renewables (considers load net of renewables) 13

14 Questions & Challenges How do grid-interactive efficient buildings fit into larger grid modernization? What are the top priority benefits buildings provide the grid? How critical are better? Analytics? Policies & programs? What are key barriers to adoption of advanced controls, technologies, practices? Making the case? Complexity? Cybersecurity? Will efficiency get its fair share? How is this issue faring among State governments? Is this a bridge too far (at least today) for buildings, utilities, governments? Come to the 3:45pm concurrent session! 14
