The First Step to Green is Blue – Energy Efficiency in Practice Mike Zatz Manager, ENERGY STAR Commercial Buildings U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Green: Policy, Practice, Profit Duluth, MN October 8, 2009
3 Important Questions • Should an energy inefficient building be considered green? – NO • Are all buildings certified as green energy efficient? – NO • What are the most important drivers of energy efficiency in a building? – IT DEPENDS, BUT GOOD OPERATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL
USGBC/NBI Study Conclusions
ENERGY STAR Rating for LEED Certified Buildings
Actual Performance vs. LEED Energy Points Claimed
The First Step to Green. . .
. . . Is Blue!
Ensure Energy Efficiency with ENERGY STAR • The first step to green is blue (ENERGY STAR blue that is). • Pursue (or look for) ENERGY STAR recognition along with green building recognition as an energy efficiency “insurance policy. ” • Look at the type of green certification a building has earned: – Green Globes – You’re covered – Energy points based on ENERGY STAR performance levels. – LEED EB: O&M – You’re covered – Energy points based on ENERGY STAR performance levels. – LEED NC – Beware – More energy points does not strongly correlate to better energy performance.
Why Bother with Energy Efficiency? • Energy efficiency is good business and is good FOR business. – Reduce operating costs. – Improve customer experience. – Improve overall business efficiency. – Attract new customers. – Build customer loyalty. – Attract and retain employees. • And it helps protect the environment too!

Financial Benefits of ENERGY STAR • • • Energy efficiency can have a high return-on-investment and is necessary in order to remain competitive. Leaders in energy efficiency use about 30 percent less energy than their competitors. Financial benefits of energy efficiency include: – – Operating costs for ENERGY STAR buildings are more than 50 cents per square foot less than for average buildings. This means savings of $5, 000 per year for every 10, 000 square feet of typical office space. Full-service hotels that improve energy efficiency by 10 percent save the equivalent of an increased average daily rate of $1. 35. Every $1 saved on energy at a nonprofit hospital is equivalent to generating $20 in new revenue. A 10 percent reduction in energy costs for the average full-line discount retailer can boost net profit margins by as much as 1. 55 percent.
Environmental Benefits of ENERGY STAR • Commercial buildings and industrial facilities generate nearly 50% of U. S. carbon dioxide emissions. • According to the U. S. Green Building Council, GHG emissions from commercial buildings are projected to grow faster than any other sector over the next 25 years – about 1. 8 percent per year. • 30% of energy consumed in commercial buildings is used unnecessarily or inefficiently. • If the energy efficiency of commercial and industrial buildings improved by just 10 percent, Americans would save about $20 billion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions equal to the emissions from about 30 million vehicles. • IMMEDIATE, LOW-COST emission reduction opportunities.
Public Relations Benefits of ENERGY STAR • Awareness & influence surges! – Public awareness has grown to more than 70% in 2008 – 70% of households report being favorably influenced – 80% of these households reported they are likely to recommend ENERGY STAR products to their friends • According to 2003 online omnibus study – 85% of 25 - to 34 -year-olds and 76% of 35 - to 44 -year-olds; – 74% of those with HHI $50, 000+; and – 76% families with kids …. recognize the ENERGY STAR

Fort Wayne - 20 Similar Buildings with Different Energy Use
Myth #1: Age Matters My building is new, so I know it’s energy efficient.
New Doesn’t Always Equal Efficient Number of Buildings • Based on survey of 4, 000 office buildings. 39% of buildings in top quartile are less than 25 years old 86. 0 Best Performers 35% of buildings in bottom quartile are less than 25 years old 121. 1 165. 7 Energy Use Intensity (k. Btu/ft 2/year) • Top performing buildings use 3 to 4 times less energy per ft 2 than the worst performers. • Newer buildings are equally represented in top and bottom quartiles. 339. 4 Worst Performers
Myth #2: It’s All About the Technology I installed energy efficient technologies, so I know my building is energy efficient.
Technology Doesn’t Always Equal Performance Note: CBECS = U. S. Department of Energy’s Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey
Benchmarking – The First Step to Energy Savings in Buildings • Benchmarking through ENERGY STAR allows you to: – Assess actual building energy performance. – Compare one building against a national sample of similar buildings. – Compare all of your buildings of a similar type to each other. – Set priorities for use of limited staff time and/or investment capital.
Portfolio Manager – Tracking Performance in Existing Buildings • Free, online, secure tool for existing buildings: – Assess the energy use of existing buildings – Compare your energy use against your peers – Some building types receive an energy performance rating (1 -100 score). – Track changes in energy use over time in single buildings, groups of buildings, or entire portfolios. – Track cost savings and emission reductions. – Track water usage. • http: //www. energystar. gov/benchmark
EPA’s Energy Performance Rating System • Allows for peer group comparison – Compares a building’s energy performance to its national peer group. – Allows owners with multiple facilities to compare performance across a portfolio of buildings. • Based on actual as-billed energy data. • Serves as a whole building indicator – Captures the interactions of building systems not individual equipment efficiency. – Tracks energy use accounting for weather and operational changes over time.
EPA Rating Building Types Hospital Retail Office Hotel Medical Office Wastewater Treatment Plant Courthouse Bank/Financial Warehouse Dormitory Supermarket K 12 School Also Houses of Worship (Sept. 2009), Data Centers (April 2010)
How to Benchmark Energy Use With Portfolio Manager • Create a secure account. • Add a facility. • Define each space type in a facility and provide characteristics of that space (e. g. , office, garage, retail, etc. ). • Enter historical billing data for electricity, natural gas, and all other fuels. At least 12 consecutive months of data is required. • Select two different dates to see a change in energy use, cost, and CO 2 emissions over time. Track impacts of energy efficiency projects.
