1 Costas A. Balaras, PhD Dr Mechanical Engineer, Research Director GRoup Energy Conservation (GR.E.C.) INSTITUTE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (IERSD) NATIONAL OBSERVATORY OF ATHENS (NOA) Energy conservation & investing in energy efficiency measures Allows limited resources to be applied to readiness & modernization Primary Energy Environmental Impact Operational Cost OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE Beyond Seapower Risk Reduction Final Energy Legislation Mandates IEQ

2 All new buildings must be nearly zero energy buildings - NZEBs after 1/2021 New public buildings after 1/2019 NZEB definition Establishes a common framework of measures for the promotion of energy efficiency (transposition into national legislation by June 2014 ). Establish specific obligations schemes and policies to improve energy efficiency in all end-uses, ensure a 3% renovation rate of public buildings & a long-term national strategy for building renovation, inform & empower consumers US NAVY ENERGY GOALS GO GREEN (since 2012) Demonstrate the deployment of new alternative energy sources for faster, cleaner, more sustainable and cheaper ways to meet Armed Forces growing energy needs Participants: Austria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece and Luxembourg Hellenic MoD DG of Financial Planning and Support Directorate of Military & Technological Support Dpt of Infrastructure & Environment Task Force Energy Navy Energy Coordination Office (NECO) supports Task Force Energy and coordinates the overall Navy Energy strategy Energy efficiency, conservation & alternative energy investments for Navy tactical & shore forces Comprehensive Navy energy strategy, ensure programs are effectively implemented. 1GW TASK FORCE US Navy to procure 1 GW of renewable energy generation capacity by 2020 Produce 19% (2012) of its shore-based energy from renewables

3 Holistic climate responsive building design & Refurbishment Optimize total lifecycle cost (LCC) Simulations Minimize heating, cooling, lighting loads High thermal envelope protection, No thermal bridges, Min infiltration, High passive solar gains, Proper solar protection Use energy efficient E/M equipment & HVAC systems Low energy demand, Min internal loads (lights, plug loads) Exploit RES (using cost effective solutions) Use proper controls Building Commissioning (RetroCx, ReCx, ContinuousCx) Maintenance

4 HOUSEKEEPING: You can t manage what you can t measure Standard & Smart Meters Collect & Monitor utilities Incorporate metered data in a centralized & accessible database Establish baselines & set realistic targets Compare monitored data against benchmarks (central platform) Provide relevant data to base-, facility- or building-level energy managers the data needed to ensure buildings are operated efficiently Involve People: Leadership, Chain of Command, Responsibilities, Training & Culture Commit Resources Monitor effectiveness of implementation
