1 Session II Getting to 60: The power of targets and load reduction April 13 8:30 am to 12:30 pm 4 LU/HSW/SD The goal of the 2030 Challenge is to create buildings that are designed to meet a fossil fuel, greenhouse gas emitting, energy performance standard of 60% less than the regional (or national) average for that building type now, with the standard rising to a 70% reduction in 2015 and incrementally increasing 10% in efficiency every five years until 2030, when the goal of zero emissions is met. One of the more compelling aspects of dramatic energy reductions is the mounting evidence that if done well, such ambitious goals can actually be done with little or no added costs. This session will explore the use of EPA s Target Finder (ENERGY STAR) to establish design targets and metrics, such as Energy Use Intensity (EUI). The session will include multiple examples of projects that have achieved exemplary energy performance, offer approaches for incorporating targets into the design process, and explore how providing targeting and EUI information can be a value-added service for design firms.

Describe the energy/carbon objectives of the 2030 Challenge 2. Use Energy Star Target Finder tool to set and Energy Use Intensity target for a project. 3. Summarize the concept of Energy Use Intensity and describe why it is an important tool for setting energy targets. Energy Use by Sector 1

9 Emissions by Sector Electricity and Emissions 75% of electricity is used by buildings Electricity and Emissions 100 units of energy 35 units of energy 33 units of energy Only 33% of fossil fuels embodied energy is consumed at the building site as electricity 2

23 Other Benchmarking Options 2003 Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) Other Benchmarking Options What about other Project Types? Laboratories 16

24 Laboratory Benchmarking Input Data: Energy efficiency metric (i.e. EUI, kwh, $) Hours of operation Lab type (i.e. Chem, Bio, Combination) % lab area Lab use (i.e. Manufacturing, Research, Teaching) Climate Zone Limitations of Code Equivalents Were originally intended to mainly help municipalities and state governments understand how much they needed to improve their existing codes by in order to meeting the 2030 Challenge. Not as a comparative design tool. Codes and rating systems are constantly updated and therefore new percentage comparisons are necessary. The 2030 Challenge reduction targets are incrementally increasing and therefore new percentage comparisons are necessary. Codes vary region to region. Codes only cover regulated loads. Codes only cover the designed energy use (asset rating), not the actual energy use (operations and tenant behavior). See Rethinking Percent Saving by Charles Eley ( 17

25 One Last Option EUI Data from the Client Sometimes you can leverage a client s existing building portfolio. CASE STUDY 18

26 Load Reduction: Integrative Design A discovery process that optimizes the interrelationships between systems Pre-design phase for research and analysis Engage all design team members in conceptual design Site analysis to understand climate, hydrology, topography, soils, habitat, history, etc. Collaborative design workshops with all project stakeholders to establish goals and priorities at conceptual design phase An iterative design process driven by these goals and priorities and enlightened by the expertise of all 19

27 Load Reduction: Integrative Design Load Reduction: Integrative Design MIT Sloan School of Management Set energy and sustainability goals early Integrative design process Evaluated 38 combinations of structure, HVAC, enclosure Design includes: o Triple glazed curtain wall, cavity insulation, operable windows o No perimeter heating, hydronic heating and cooling Project costs were NOT increased in spite of exceptional energy performance; more was spent on the enclosure and less on the mechanical systems Load Reduction: Climate Responsive Design 20

30 Load Reduction: Massing and Envelope Load Reduction Study: 10,000 and 100,000 square foot office building Energy Modeling We Must First Consider What is the Energy Model Being Used For 1. Informative: Provide comparisons to inform design decisions 2. Utility Incentives & LCCA: Models to help obtain utility savings info 3. Reporting: Confirm if the project meets code or LEED requirements 4. Utility Predictions: estimate total actual energy use (e.g. net zero building targets) 5. Retro-Cx / M&V: Models for existing facilities and confirmation of performance through measurement & verification Energy Modeling - Informative GSA Federal Center South 23

31 Energy Modeling Utility Incentives & LCCA Custom- Comprehensive Design Approach (CDA) Typically NC projects greater than 100,000 SF Achieve energy efficiencies 20% to 30% better than code (lighting 15% better than code) Energy modeling required e-quest Incentives for energy-efficiency technologies up to 90% of incremental costs Aggressively seek out and implement all program viable and cost effective EEMs Up to 50% of technical assistance and engineering costs associated with EEMs Energy Modeling Utility Incentives & LCCA Baseline: Raised Floor HVAC Option 1: Baseline + Operable Windows & Mixed Mode Control Option 2: Option 1 + Natural Ventilation & Geothermal Heat Exchanger Option 3: Option 2 + Hydronic Heating and Cooling System Energy Modeling - Reporting 24

32 Energy Modeling Utility Predictions USING ENERGY MODELING FOR PREDICTING UTILITY BILLS IS DANGEROUS Biggest factors that can throw off an energy model: Building schedule (extended hours of operation) Occupant density Plug load variations Building operator changes Unknown loads Non-typical annual weather Energy Modeling Retro Cx or M&V Process: 1. Obtain existing utility information 2. Confirm existing operating conditions (schedules, setpoints, occupancy, etc.) 3. Create and calibrate an energy model to the existing information Baseline Model 4. Identify simple low or no-cost operational changes to improve energy performance 5. Identify capital improvement options and potential payback M&V Only: 1. Identify differences in actual performance vs. the proposed building model 2. Re-calibrate energy model to match actual operation 3. Determine where improvements can be made Energy Modeling Considerations: Climate & Location Orientation Envelope Components Daylighting Internal Loads Ventilation Mechanical System Types (Case Study NMAAHC) Operating Schedules 25

44 Why Do We Need Building Performance Labels? Building Energy Asset Ratings Can facilitate direct comparisons of the potential energy performance between similar buildings (unlike LEED, Appendix G) Creates a market value for energy performance (in addition to LEED) Evaluate the energy performance of a building s assets, such as the thermal envelope (e.g. insulation, windows) and mechanical and electrical systems Independent of tenant behavior (similar to HERS for homes) Asset and operational ratings complement each other EPA provides asset ratings for homes and cars why wouldn t commercial buildings need one? European model is primarily asset rating based Courtesy of MASS DOER November 23, 2011 Presentation What are the goals for Building Performance Labeling? Establish a commercial building energy rating system that: Directly compares energy use between buildings irrespective of tenant operations; Enable market valuation of energy performance in buildings, and; Motivate comprehensive efficiency investments in existing buildings.
