  1. Presentation Outline Implementation of a U.S. Building Energy Labeling Program for Energy Efficiency Charlie Haack, LEED AP Washington Internships for Students of Engineering August 5th, 2009

  2. Presentation Outline • Why a Building Energy Labeling Program is Needed • Benefits of a Building Energy Labeling Program • Implementation Approaches • Conclusions What is a Building Energy Labeling Program?

  3. What is a Building Energy Labeling Program? A rating system that assesses the amount of energy a consumes when it is compared to other of similar type. building buildings VS kBtu/SF/Year

  4. What is a Building Energy Labeling Program? It can be compared to A rating system that assesses the amount of energy an consumes when it is compared to other of similar type. appliance appliances VS kWh/Year

  5. What is a Building Energy Labeling Program? Building Labeling is Also Comparable to Automobile Fuel Economy Labeling Are These Good or Bad Ratings? kBtu/SF/Year 80

  6. Why a Building Energy Labeling Program is Needed What is a Building Energy Labeling Program? • ASHRAE’s new Advanced Building Energy Label – Building EQ. • ASHRAE headquarters was the first building to be assessed

  7. Why a Building Energy Labeling Program is Needed Energy Efficiency & Security Better Understanding of Where and How Energy Used Provide lower energy costs Step Towards Net-Zero Energy Buildings Give Consumers Choice

  8. Why a Building Energy Labeling Program is Needed Example of Consumer Choice: Where would you rather eat if you had the choice? 2 1

  9. Why a Building Energy Labeling Program is Needed More Data on Energy Usage Better Understanding of Energy Usage Decreased Energy Usage & Innovations for Energy Production

  13. Why a Building Energy Labeling Program is Needed Benefits of a Building Energy Labeling Program ASHRAE ABEL 13

  14. Benefits of a Building Energy Labeling Program Implementation Approaches • Increased Asset Value for Higher Performing Buildings • Emission Reductions • Opportunity for Energy Efficient Financing • Job Creation – New Energy Assessors • Consumer Choice

  15. Implementation Approaches Voluntary vs. Mandatory

  16. Implementation Approaches A Mandatory Program has Several Resistances: • Issue of System First Costs for Building Owners • Possibility of ‘Devaluing’ properties that do not perform well • Realty Groups that do not Want Additional Steps to their Sales Processes. • Possible Large Cost to Federal Government

  17. Implementation Approaches California – AB 1103 Clean Energy Future Act 2007 • Covers all Non-Residential Buildings • Requires Usage of a Currently Voluntary Program, Energy Star for Buildings • Centrally Collects Building Energy Usage Data

  18. Implementation Approaches Conclusions A Voluntary Program has Several Advantages: • Utilize Market Forces to Place Value on Energy Efficiency • Less Cost for Local, State and Federal Governments • Easily Adoptable as Mandatory Programs by Local and State Governments at Low Cost

  19. Conclusions Thank You & Questions • Design for Voluntary but Adoptable as Mandatory for Local or State Usage • Include Both New and Existing Buildings • Provide Education Grants for Energy Modelers and Assessors • Provide Financial Incentives for Lenders to Provide Energy Efficient Mortgages
