  15. Net-Zero Energy Buildings Buildings which, on an annual basis, use no more energy than is provided by on-site renewable energy sources.

  16. Building Orientation ) Siting and Location ) Building Envelope Efficiency ) And How Much Material Use ) Fenestration ) Will this Cost? Use of Day Lighting ) Advanced Lighting Design ) HVAC Systems ) Indoor Air Quality ) Water Conservation ) How Do We Get There?

  17. Energy Efficient and Sustainable Buildings Will this Just Lead to Higher First Cost? In the Life Cycle of a Building : Initial Construction Cost is only 2% Operational and Energy Cost is only 6% Occupancy Cost Accounts for 92%

  18. Energy Saving Incentive Programs Energy Policy Act - EPAC 2005 Energy Independence and Security Act - EISA 2007 American Clean Energy and Security Act ACES 2009/10 still pending Tax Incentive & Assistance Program - TIAP American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – ARRA www.dsireusa.org

  19. NZEB for Federal Facilities Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA)requires new federal buildings to reduce their fossil fuel based energy use by 55% by 2010 and to zero by 2030. EPAC 2005 / EISA 2007 Existing Federal Buildings 30% reduction in energy use by 2015

  20. EPAC 2005 / EISA 2007 Existing Federal Buildings 30% reduction in energy use by 2015

  21. FEDERAL ENERGY LEGISLATION HR 2454 AMERICAN CLEAN ENERGY AND SECURITY ACT – 2009 S.1462 Energy Bill & S.1733 CLIMATE CHANGE 30% Reduction in Energy by 2010 ) New 50% Reduction in Energy by 2016 ) Residential & Commercial 75% Reduction in Energy by 2021 )

  22. Our Greatest Opportunities? 2% of Building Projects are New Construction 86% of Construction Dollars go into Existing Buildings 75% to 80% of All Buildings That will Exist in 2030 Exist Today!

  23. The Cost of Being Green What is the cost of simply taking energy out of buildings? McKinsey - Energy Efficiency – Invest $170 Billion per year in the USA Offering 17% ROI Saving 9.3 Quads/yr (23%) by 2020 McKinsey Global Institute • Building Star – Rebuilding America Program Retrofit 50 Million Existing Residential and Commercial Buildings by 2020 $500 billion cost over 10 years, $685 million in energy Savings, 625,000 jobs created 20% Reduction in Electrical Energy 15% Reduction in Gas Energy

  24. ASHRAE’s Path ForwardTools We Can Bring to the Table Standard 90.1 Standard 189.1 Standard 100 Advanced Energy Design Guides Commissioning and Retro Commissioning Operation and Maintenance Guidance

  25. ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010Purpose “… Provide minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of buildings except low-rise residential buildings”

  26. Energy Codes Development Excludes Plug and Process Loads

  43. What Will It Take? • More Uniformly Applied and Enforced Building Codes • Higher Energy Costs • Peak Load Shaving and Demand Control • Possible Carbon Tax • Move beyond certificates of occupancy towards actual regulation of Building Energy Use. Increasingly the Issues will not be Technical nor will they be Political or even Economic! They will be Cultural

  44. Occupant BehaviorChanging Mindsets and Culture • Plug and Process Loads in Buildings • Lighting • Thermal Comfort • Raising Awareness • Energy Costs and Availability • Environmental Awareness • Legislation and Code change • Culture of Sustainability

  45. Is That Enough? Can we get there with our current Prescriptive Codes and Standards Process ? How do We Address Actual Versus Theoretical Building Performance ? Do we need to go Beyond Certificate of Occupancy ? Will Building Owners and Consumers Accept Intrusion into their Daily Lives?

  46. As Educators and Trainers • Understand the Issues • This is About More Than Just Technology • Raise Fundamental Understanding • Teach Energy Auditing & Management • Emphasize Operation and Maintenance • Promote Continuous Commissioning • Encourage Rebates and Incentives

  47. The Dawning of a New Era Education and Training is essential for the next generation

  48. Sustaining Our Future By Rebuilding Our Past When we build let it not be for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants thank us” John Ruskin 1875
