2 NYS Energy R&D Development Authority Mission Statement Advance innovative energy solutions in ways that improve New York's economy and environment. Vision Statement To serve as a catalyst advancing energy innovation and technology, transforming New York's economy, empowering people to choose clean and efficient energy as part of their everyday lives. 2

3 NYSERDA Buildings R&D Building Envelope Lighting Heating & Cooling Sensors & Controls Information Technology Utilities (Electric, Gas, Steam, Water) Materials/Construction 3

4 Introduction Buildings represent a large and dynamic portion of electricity and thermal energy requirements for New York (62 percent of statewide energy consumption and 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions). The development and deployment of energy efficiency technology in buildings lags behind that of other sectors (transportation, industrial). Reasons Wide diversity of energy-consuming & energy-saving technologies in buildings. Complexity of the economic and regulatory environment in which buildings are built and retrofitted Fragmentation and diversity of the building industry Misalignment of incentives between various stakeholders Intimate connection between human behavior and building energy consumption 4

10 10 Building Resiliency

11 Number of Events 40 Major Disasters and Emergencies Declarations - New York State Severe Storms - High Winds, Floods, Heavy Rains, Landslides Winter Storms - Snowstorms, Ice Storms, On average an event every 9 months! Source: FEMA: NYS Disaster History 11

12 0.9 Impact of Major Disasters & Emergencies on NYS Infrastructure

13 Impact of Disruptions/Loss of Power Grid on Buildings Residential After 4 hrs food in fridge begins to spoil Most appliances inoperable Darkness (risk of fires increases due to the use of candles) Most Heat Systems inoperable (Availability of Natural Gas, Propane, Heating Oil) Sump pumps inoperable causing flooding in basements (ground water) Well pumps inoperable lack of water. Commercial Unable to conduct business transactions Security & safety compromised Elevators inoperable (trapped individuals) HVAC inoperable MultiFamily Same as Residential High Rise no water on upper floors, inoperable elevators 13

14 Opportunities for Making Building Resilient Resiliency (Short Term) Self-powered Heating systems PV Emergency Power Systems/Subsystems MicroCHP (Residential) On-site Energy Storage Building Energy Management Systems (Low Energy Mode) Advanced Building Materials Recovery Demand Management (Bldg microgrids) Self Diagnostics with automatic commissioning Reconfigurable Buildings Adaptation (Long term) Flexible Loads Demand Response to Stress on the Grid Low Energy Buildings Passive Heating/Cooling Daylighting Integration of Renewables New Building Codes Efficiency Integrated with Resiliency 14 NET ZERO and ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS

17 Wedlick house in Claverack, NY. The High Performance Builders Challenge program produced the 1 st Certified Passive House in New York State. A Passive House is a very well-insulated, virtually air-tight building that is primarily heated by passive solar gain and by internal gains from people, electrical equipment, etc. Energy losses are minimized. 17

18 18 Made in New York (Selux Corporation) energy efficient LED walkway lighting and PV outdoor lighting fixtures.

19 Sylvania QUICKTRONIC PowerSHED Ballast High Efficiency Demand Response Ballast Low-cost, 30% dimming ballast and power-line carrier signaling system for controlling commercial linear florescent lighting for electrical load management and demand response. Low marginal cost per ballast Control hundreds of lights from a single control point Nearly imperceptible dimming in most circumstances 19

20 Installation of a Advanced Climate Technologies (Manufactured in Schenctady, NY) two-stage, high efficiency, low emissions, gasification, wood chip/pellet boilers at the W!ld Center in Tupper Lake, NY

21 High efficiency (86.5%), residential, oil-fired boiler by Utica Boiler. Standard sulfur heating oil generally limits efficiency to about 87%.

22 ECR (Utica, NY), 97% efficient gas-fired, condensing, residential boiler. Among the top AFUE rated boilers.

23 23 Eco-friendly Insulation and Packing Materials from Mushrooms. Ecovative (Green Island, NY)

24 24 HEPAiRx an energy efficient window mounted room air purifier for asthma suffers (Air Innovations of Syracuse, NY)

25 Ithaca's MicroGen Systems Chips that harvests energy from vibration 25

26 26 Opportunities Systems Integration of Building Energy Technologies Distributed sensors and control networks - Intelligent zoned heating and cooling - Self configuring systems. Operational efficiency improvements - Energy scavenging/waste heat recovery Maximizing use of natural & ambient conditions and processes - Integrated daylighting/lighting/active fenestration - Improved air economizers - Advance building envelope Better methods to integrate measurement, simulation, feedback, and controls in real time to optimize building performance - Improved integration with the electrical grid - Continuous Commissioning Improved Distribution Systems - New methods for distributing heating/cooling /electricity throughout a building - Integrated space heating/cooling and water heating systems

27 Opportunities Economic, Policy, and Behavioral Factors Influencing Bldg Energy Consumption Economic - Reliable data and information about the economics of energy efficient building systems - Innovative financial instruments and valuation Policy - New approaches to building codes - Legislation Behavioral Factors - Builders (training, marketing, best practices, incentives) - Owners (financing, awareness, decision-making) - Occupants (education, feedback) 27

28 28 NYSERDA seeks proposals for development and demonstration activities that advance the energy performance of both new and existing buildings in the residential, multi-family or commercial sector.
