ACEEE 2010 National Symposium on Market Transformation
ACEEE 2010 National Symposium on Market Transformation
• Why do states and jurisdictions want to rate the energy performance of buildings?
• Existing buildings are the #1 source of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
• Biggest bang for the buck
• The existing building stock is awash in cost-effective opportunities to increase energy efficiency
• Information can catalyze organic, market-based change and billions of $$$ in private investment in efficiency

NYC Greener, Greater Buildings Plan
• Audits and Retro commissioning
• Energy & Water Rating and Disclosure
• Lighting Upgrades
• Tenant Space Sub metering
• Creation of NYC Building Energy Code
• Workforce Development and Training Program (NYSERDA)
• Financing Initiatives
ACEEE 2010 National Symposium on Market Transformation
NYC Greener, Greater Buildings Plan
• 80% of NYC’s carbon footprint comes from building-related emissions
• 85% of existing buildings in NYC will still be around in 2030
• Legislation projected to affect 22,000 buildings
• Will reduce emissions by 4.75%, the largest reduction from any single program in PlaNYC
• Will save consumers and building owners $700M annually in energy costs
• Will create more than 10,000 jobs in the construction and building sectors
Forecast: Impact and benefits of legislation

Elements of Rating Mandates – ENERGY STAR
• Mandates rely on ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
• Generates “1” to “100” rating by comparing a building to the peer building stock nationwide
• Normalizes building energy consumption for climate, occupancy density, plug loads and other factors
• Apples to apples (unlike raw utility bills)
• Free, available online and nontechnical

Elements of Rating Mandates – Building Types and Sizes
Building Types
• Nonresidential privately owned buildings
– 57 billion SF
• Government buildings– 21.2 billion SF
• Multifamily buildings– 33 million SF of rental apartment
space nationally
• New buildings– 1.3 billion SF constructed annually
Sizes
• Large buildings should benchmark first
– Largest users of energy and emitters of greenhouse gases
• Lots of opportunity in smaller buildings
– U.S. businesses occupy 36 billion square feet of commercial space in 4.6 million buildings of 50,000 square feet or less.*
*From Rebuilding America report (EFC/CAP). All “Building Types” figures from McKinsey & Co. except rental apartment data, from Real Estate Roundtable

The Commercial Real Estate Market and Energy Transparency
• Tenants, investors and lenders and currently unable to access building efficiency data and factor it into buying, leasing and financing decisions
• With comparable, reliable efficiency information, the informed market can make smarter real estate energy decisions

Governments and Utilities Leading by Example
• Rating and disclosing their own buildings
• Efficiency Requirements for Buildings to be Leased
– Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007: Beginning December 2010, leases signed by federal agencies must be in ENERGY STAR-labeled buildings
– Washington SB 5854: Beginning Jan 1., 2010, state agencies must lease space in buildings with an ENERGY STAR score of at least 75
ACEEE 2010 National Symposium on Market Transformation
Leveraging Building Energy Ratings in Other Policy
• Linking rating and building energy code compliance
– Nationally, building energy code compliance is a big problem
– Disclosure of building performance ratings is a step toward making designers, developers, builders, owners and managers accountable for actual real-world measured energy performance in operation
– Starting in 2012, District of Columbia will require online publication of asset ratings for new commercial construction over 50,000 square feet
