Energy & Green Building strategies Establishing a PACE financing Program 2018 Targets 2012 Baselines Reduce air pollution 25% from 2007 5.8M tons of CO2e Develop new incentives and rebates for building efficiency Implement policies and programs to advance OUC smart grid investments (e.g. Whole-building data) Develop roadmap to make Orlando a Solar leader in the southeast USA Establish an Energy Benchmarking & Transparency Policy (aka BEWES) Develop market-based program for green buildings in new construction 8% from renewables Reduce citywide EUI by 5% from 2010 Reduce gross potable water consumption per capita by 3% 1.8% renewable energy 12,005 kwh per capita 166 gallons of water per capita per day.
Why Buildings? Living over 90% indoors, our health, productivity, and happiness depend on how well our buildings are designed, built, and run So do the health and safety of our community and the World. Every building, from the smallest school to the tallest skyscraper in Orlando, uses energy most often generated by the burning of fossil fuels Growth in our country and city is projected to continue to rise Average growth of 2% per year As a result, energy and water demand and cost in using finite resources will continue to rise
The vast majority of the energy we use is wasted Supply Wasted Demand
Energy Efficiency = Opportunity Energy efficiency remains the cheapest and cleanest form of new energy supply. Energy efficiency is the most cost-effective way to slash energy waste and reduce public health impacts from air quality Energy efficiency in buildings has the potential result of: Saving money for owners and tenants Increasing economic activity through investments Creating new jobs to service and improve buildings Reducing emissions from power plants Lowering impacts on public health and the environment
Energy Benchmarking is Step 1 Energy benchmarking is the first step to improve energy efficiency and realize our savings potentials city-wide We cannot manage what we don t measure Energy benchmarking using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager: Tracks and monitors energy and water use over time Measures total energy and water use in buildings on a level playing field Identifies and scores the relative energy performance of buildings to each other (1 100 score and/or EUI)
City of Orlando s Energy-Efficiency Project ENERGY STAR benchmarking and ASHRAE Level II Energy Audits $17.5 million municipal bond 55 Buildings Total in Phase 1 Lighting, HVAC, Building controls retrofits Expected $2.4 Million annual return
Building Energy & Water Efficiency Strategy (BEWES)
BEWES Stakeholder Engagement & Education 300+ in-person presentations and meetings 2014 Climate & Energy Summit In partnership with OUC 2014 BOMA Energy Efficiency workshop 2015 Green Economy Summit In partnership with Orlando, Inc. 2015 Multifamily Energy Efficiency workshop In partnership with AAGO, IREM, OUC and Duke Energy 2015-2016 ENERGY STAR training program In partnership with Orlando, Inc. 2016 5 Stakeholder Roundtables 10
Orlando s BEWES Policy Details 1. Energy and water benchmarking Annually Covered city property: >10,000 sf (~60 buildings) Covered non-city property: >50,000 sf (~824 buildings) 2. Reporting + transparency Annually All covered city and non-city property 3. Energy audit 1x every 5 years All buildings under ENERGY STAR score below 50 Other exemptions apply
Implementation Timeline Extended 1 year June - Dec 2017 Kilowatt Crackdown 2.0 pilot program May 2018 All covered properties (city + non-city) benchmarking + reporting September 2019 Transparency of information (2018 data) December 2020 Notification for Energy audits May 2025 Summary energy audit report
New Changes since September 15 th, 2016 Added table for the energy audit schedule (Section 15.10, line 619) Stakeholders mentioned it would be useful to have the energy audit requirement in a table like we did with the benchmarking. Removal of financial penalty for "Violations & Enforcement" section (Section 15.13, line 669) Based on the Pittsburgh ordinance, we felt we could get more buy-in for the business community if there was not a financial penalty for non-compliance. Instead, the transparency will state they are "non-compliant" and the hope is that will encourage them to comply as they've mentioned. We have removed the $2,000 penalty for non-compliance. Clarification in Energy and Green Buildings subcommittee section (Section 15.15, line 719) Based on the City of Boston ordinance, we have added details to the number and real estate sectors represented in the subcommittee. Power to Suspend (Section 15.16) This was added from City of Boston ordinance that allows Council to suspend parts or all of the ordinance upon written findings of obstacles from Mayor.
Voluntary Pilot in 2017: Kilowatt Crackdown 2.0 100 building pilot from June - December 2017 USGBC has offered to coordinate the pilot and provide FREE training for the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool UCF and Valencia expressed interest to train students to provide FREE technical support After pilot, stakeholders will review the pilot and make suggestions before the May 2018 requirement begins.
Violations & Enforcement Removal of any financial penalty for non-compliance A covered property shall be publicly posted on the City s website as: Participating Exempt Eligible and not participating Voluntarily participating The City shall implement a suitable annual award and recognition for excellence in energy benchmarking and energy/water savings.
Green Works Advisory Committee City of Orlando will establish a subcommittee of the Green Works Advisory Committee as directed in the Green Works Community Action Plan (Page 7) Minimum of 5 real estate representatives The Mayor shall appoint the members of the Energy & Green Building subcommittee that represent the following real estate sectors, but not limited to: Commercial / Office Hospitality Retail Multifamily/Residential Health care and hospitals Warehouse
