12 Right Now Initiatives related to Fenestration and Efficiency Read energy bills Survey Occupants Tune-up Systems Purchase healthy products Ban smoking on site Lighten up your surfaces

13 Why do these THINGS?

14 U.S. Buildings Impact

15 BENEFITS> Reduced Costs Improved Occupant Health Greater asset value Risk mitigation Market differentiation

16 New Construction vs. Operations & Maintenance The replacement rate for buildings is between 2 and 3 percent per year.

17 Read your bills. Benchmark against similar buildings

18 $20 billion can be saved annually by 10% energy efficiency improvements. U.S. Department of Energy 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007

19 Survey occupants.

20 Survey Occupants Systematic survey is more valuable than sporadic complaints Understand whether the building is comfortable Take corrective action if 20% or more are dissatisfied

21 Give your building a tune-up.

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

23 Give Your Building A Tune-up How is the building operating? Are the systems working as intended? Where are opportunities for improvement? What is the return on investment? Low & No-Cost Measures Adjust HVAC temperature controls & settings Install more efficient lighting Install occupant sensors for lights and plugs Seal windows & leaks Reduce domestic hot water temperature

37 PROVEN PERFORMANCE INDEPENDENT AUDITS TRANSPARENT RESULTS Net Zero Energy is quickly becoming a sought after goal for many buildings around the globe - each relies on exceptional energy conservation and then on-site renewables to meet all of its heating, cooling and electricity needs. Yet the true performance of many developments is overstated and actual Net Zero Energy buildings are still rare
