3 Learning Objectives 1. Discuss the paramount role of integrative process and early goal setting in achieving aggressive building and district scale energy performance goals. 2. Illustrate how a proactive design strategy can ensure that a building designed today can support a district zero energy vision. 3. Describe how a project team can address diverse and sometimes conflicting occupant, building, district, and community scale needs in the design and operations of a high performance building. 4. Explain strategies to effectively communicate the value of high performance buildings to occupants, the community, and the industry at large. Leading by Example 2

5 y This Design Development Energy Report (DDER) is a tool to assist the design team in making decisions to improve the energy performance of the Utility Administration Building design. As a participant in Fort Collins Utilities Integrated Design Assistance Program (IDAP), a goal of the project is to achieve a Target EUI (Energy Use Intensity) of 32.9 kbtu/sf/year, a 60% energy reduction below the regional median EUI of 82.3 for office buildings. At least 40% of this reduction must come from efficiency and the remaining 20% reduction can come from renewables. This goal aligns the project design with the Architecture 2030 Challenge. In addition, the project team has set a stretch goal of achieving an Energy Use Intensity of 20 kbtu/sf/year. The project team intends to achieve a rating of 100 through EPA s ENERGY STAR program and to certify the building. In accordance with a goal of attaining a Platinum rating through LEED for New Construction version 4, the project is targeting a minimum of 15 points for Optimize Energy Efficiency and 3 points for Renewable Energy Production. 4

37 NET ZERO VERIFIED the answer to the reuse/energy conundrum is the occupant; while most buildings underperform predicted performance, our occupants are driving energy use down monthly. Kenner Kingston 36
