  1. Total Energy Usage As A Measure of Building Performance30% Building Energy Savings Through an Energy Lifecycle Approach to Building Construction, Retro-fitting, and Management Paul Hamilton Schneider Electric VP Government Affairs

  2. The Association of Electrical andMedical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers NEMA High Performance Building CouncilLeverage NEMA membership and it associates products, offers, and expertise to further the development and management of high performance buildings.

  3. ? What is a High Performance Building? • “….Green building is also known as a sustainable or high performance building” - US EPA • “…a building that integrates and optimizes all major high-performance building attributes, including energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance, and occupant productivity -Energy Policy Act of 2005 • “One that uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste, and provides healthier spaces for occupants” -Indian Green Building Council • “….. environmentally sustainable building, designed, constructed and operated to minimize the total environmental impacts.” -Build Green • “The building is a citizen of the city and has an obligation to society” -Xiaowei Xu, PhD., Chief Engineer, Shenzhen Institute of Building Research Does a high performance building have to be designed as green or is it about optimizing performance?

  4. Optimizing Energy Use Persistent Energy Savings

  5. Efficient devices and efficient installation (10 to 15 %) Low consumption devices, insulated building… Optimized usage of installation and devices (5 to 15%) Turn off devices when not needed, regulate motors or heating at the optimized level… Permanent monitoring and improvement program (2 to 8%) Rigorous maintenance program, measureand react in case of deviation 30% savings are available today… Passive EE Active EE

  6. But…….… The long term challenge is sustained energy savings One step is not enough, savings are lost due to Behavior & Commitment Lack of visibility Lack of Automation 100% • Up to 8% per year is lost without monitoring and maintenance program • Up to 12% per year is lost without regulation and control systems 70% Efficient devices and installation Optimized usage via automation Monitoring & Maintenance Energy Consumption Time Control and monitoring technologies will sustain the savings

  7. Energy Audit & Measure Passive Energy Efficiency Active Energy Efficiency Fix the basics Optimise through automation & regulation Monitor, maintain, improve Low consumption devices, insulation material, power factor correction HVAC control, lighting control, variable speed drives… Meters installation, monitoring services, EE analysis software A focus on Active Energy Management for sustained and persistent savings

  8. Innovation for Change A new era of integration

  9. Intelligent Energy Information Technology Energy Infrastructure New Opportunity for Deep Persistent Savingsfrom Technology and Markets The intersection of IT and Energy Management will create new opportunities to accelerate energy efficiency

  10. From multi-silo to single backbone system: example of buildings Renewable energies HVAC control Lighting control Energy monitoring Motor control Access control Security Critical Power & cooling Electrical distribution Simple Integration Interoperability and opennessto third party systems Reliability • Continuity of serviceof Electrical Power Efficiency • 30% energy savings • Optimized Capex &Opex Green • Connection to renewable energies Productivity • Productive work places

  11. What is possible Persistent Energy Savings

  12. Significant gains are possible 75%energy savings • Schneider Electric HQ • New Paris headquarters housing 1,700 employees • Energy target to reduce to 50 kWh / m2 / year • Energy bill of existing buildings divided by five • First ISO50001 certified building in Europe 30%Capex & Opex savings 70kwh/sqmfinal energy consumption in 2010

  13. Challenges Keys for long term success

  14. High Performance Building Inhibitors • Market Inhibitors • Low awareness and inadequate skills • Limited incentives for designers and builders • Comparative usage understanding • Technology Inhibitors • Systems level solutions/integration • Measurement & verification • Financing Inhibitors • Incentive misalignment • Limited or inadequate financing • Regulation • Inconsistent implementation of compliance with policies and codes • Inconsistent & immature policies • Inconsistent utility engagement across states

  15. Energy is invisible. We need to make it visible! Benchmarking shows opportunity exists ……in high tech facilities energy intensity varies significantly Integrated connectivity gives insight …. In Data Centers Energy Dashboards allows optimize management

  16. Labeling is Still confusing • Need to be clear on different labels and their proposes • operational versus asset rating • Technical versus statistical • Need consistency between competing systems • Many competing labeling systems in market today • Many evolving

  17. We must consider building life cycles.

  18. In Summary • More Visibility for Energy Usage • Dashboards • Labeling • Benchmarking • Better lifecycle management • Auditing • Continuous Commissioning • Enforcement • More Education and Awareness • Public awareness • Certification • Training & education

  19. Make the most of your energy™

  20. The cornerstone to succeed: people • Respect and • passion for • diversity • Loving difference • Diversity for innovation • Individual behaviours driven by… • Technology that make things visible • Regulations • Incentives • Skills • Renew competencies • Build new educational programmes • Develop maintenance, audits, etc. • Collaboration • Public-private partnerships • Cross-business alliances • Competitiveness projects
