6 Energy facts The amount of energy Americans use doubles about every 20 years. Electricity consumption is expected to increase 45 % by 2030 Buildings make up 72 % of total electricity consumption The U.S. accounts for more than 20 % of global greenhouse gas emissions

7 Energy efficiency and sustainability matter! Economic Prosperity Lowers utility bills and provides excellent financial investment in your Facilities Environmental Health Produces significant reduction in GHG emissions, energy, and water Social Equity Improves community facilities and occupant comfort

8 People are predictably irrational.

10 Doug McKenzie-Mohr CBSM Process Five Steps: 1. Select behaviors to target 2. Identify barriers and benefits to desired behaviors 3. Develop strategies and tools that reduce barriers and increase the behavior s perceived benefits 4. Pilot the strategies 5. Implement and evaluate

11 Barriers to changing behaviors Forget to act Inertia Lack of knowledge Procrastination Hyperbolic discounting Inability to commit Lack of social pressure Structural barriers Lack of motivation

12 Guiding principles Commitment Communications Targeted behaviors Prompts Peer influence Visibility Feedback Competition Incentives Convenience Social norming

13 Our philosophy True behavior engagement is developed through systematic behavior-based programs that can save energy and reduces environmental impact through implementation of low- and no-cost strategies that produce measurable results. It s about PEOPLE OCCUPANTS & OPERATORS New behaviors Better decisions Habit change

14 1. Reporting, Tracking, and Communication Utility bill tracking and analysis Online dashboard performance reporting 2. Operational optimization Opportunities identification through ongoing commissioning (controls, scheduling, shutdowns, building system data analysis) Training, support, and optimization 3. Employee and staff engagement Challenges, targeted activities, comparative feedback, gamification, rewards/recognition Communication, alignment with goals, and public engagement

15

16 OPPORTUNITY IDENTIFICATION COLLABORATIVE CHANGE EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS Investigate and document low- and nocost opportunities Controls, scheduling, lighting, HVAC tuning After-hours use, shutdown procedures created and followed Ongoing training and support Solicit input from building operators Share and discuss findings Strategically plan Understand and consider energy impacts related to system operation changes Optimize system operations Reduce waste Maintain best practices for long-term success

17 HVAC equipment issues HVAC schedule optimizations Trainings Alerts & communications Water savings Connection with occupants (building walks)

18 Utilize utility meter data (monthly and interval) to identify savings opportunities

19 EDUCATE EMPOWER COMMUNICATE Occupant engagement Creative challenges Targeted activities Participant pledges Top-level commitment Competition and recognition Comparative feedback Measurable results Public relations and awareness campaign Comprehensive visual campaign Communications plan Holistic engagement
