» Develop an analysis of the most critical RDD&D gaps that

need to be addressed to achieve California’s goals of zero

net energy buildings for all new construction of residential

buildings by 2020 and for commercial buildings by 2030.

» Results of the analysis will be used by Energy Commission

staff to develop a research roadmap that strategically

targets future EPIC investments in a manner that provides

optimal benefits to Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) electric

ratepayers, and maximizes the use of public research and

development investments.


PROJECT BACKGROUND


PROJECT OBJECTIVES

» The goal of this agreement is to develop, in consultation with stakeholders and

subject matter experts, a technical assessment and Research Roadmap that

identifies, describes, and prioritizes key RDD&D needs for achieving the state’s

goals for Zero-Net Energy (ZNE) buildings in a safe, equitable, and cost-beneficial

manner.

» Specifically, the research roadmap must synthesize the input of stakeholders and

experts in order to:

Prioritize research most needed to achieve cost-effective ZNE buildings.

Provide a detailed description of barriers.

Identify performance and cost targets for promising technologies.

Develop critical indicators of success.



PROJECT SCOPE

» New Construction ZNE: Residential (emphasis on

multifamily) and Commercial

» Prioritize building types based on criteria with

highest impact in terms of energy and market

penetration and growth


Source: Technical Feasibility of ZNE in California, 2012


PROJECT SCOPE

» Focus areas to be covered in technical assessment and gaps analysis include, but are not

limited to:


» Building energy efficiency technologies

• Lighting

• Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

• Water efficiency and reuse technologies that also provide

electricity savings

• Building envelope

• Plug loads

• Whole-building strategies such as DC-DC and appliance

electrification

» Behavioral research of current and potential ZNE

building residents.

» Demand response

» Distributed- and community-scale renewables, as

enabler for ZNE

» Smart grid connectivity related to ZNE, such as:

• Interaction between building to electrical grid (B2G),

including system capacity.

• Smart building controls, home area networks, and

information/action displays that give real-time data and

control to the resident and/or building owner.

• Electric vehicle charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G).

• Controllable loads.

» Energy storage, as enabler to ZNE.

» Public health and safety including indoor air

quality

» Planning and permitting of ZNE buildings


SCOPE FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDING TYPES

» Priorities driven by:

• Widely applicable

• Critical niche

• Energy use influence

• Opportunity for scaling

• Other regulatory influences

(local ordinances)

Guide future research

that targets ZNE

progression

LITERATURE REVIEW PURPOSE


The literature review will provide information about which

focus areas already have extensive research and which

areas are in need of further investigation in order to meet

California’s ZNE goals.

LITERATURE REVIEW SOURCES

We will start with research documents from several publicly-

available databases and known resources, including:

» Applicable Laws, Policies, and Background Documents

» CEC EPIC Project Reports

» DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information Database

» California Measurement Advisory Council (CALMAC) Searchable Database

» Emerging Technologies Coordinating Council (ETCC) Project Reports

» Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Research Portfolio

» …



LITERATURE REVIEW PROCESS


Research documents for review will be recommended by both

project team members and stakeholders through the project

website. Reviews will be completed by project team members

based on expertise.



Each document will be reviewed, catalogued,

and tagged by keywords based on which ZNE-

related topic area(s) are addressed.

RESEARCH LITERATURE DATABASE

All literature reviews will be stored in a database,

searchable by fields and keywords, and available to the

public on the project website.


DISCUSSION


» Proposed:

1. Review of existing surveys

2. Sage Input – Initial Interviews

3. Surveys – online and phone – formal set of question

4. Key Industry Events

5. Stakeholder Portal within the team site

Desired Survey Attributes:

» Short and focused

» Questions customized to participant role

» Hybrid style: Quantifiable and qualitative / Directed and

Open style questions


STAKEHOLDER OUTREACHHow?


» Industry Experts/Allies representing industry based on

their:

• Body of ZNE experience

• Building type experience (office, education, institutional,

etc.)

• Industry role/perspective

» Inform Surveys:

• How many surveys needed based on granularity of data

desired

• Prioritize topics while keeping surveys short to promote

higher response rate

• Determine levels of representation of each different

audience surveyed

KEY QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AND INPUTTo further guide scope – over next 12 months

» View ZNE as more than intent based on code alone (TDV), include operational, construction and

design aspects as well

» How do we frame the scenarios? TDV - GHG based electrification, Mixed fuel (gas + elect),

community vs. individual site

» Confirm looking into Community ZNE vs. site level ZNE only

» Include emerging trends impacting ZNE not limited to technology


DISCUSSION


NEXT STEPS

» Develop literature review structure

» Literature review

» Develop stakeholder input structure and guide

» Conduct stakeholder input through surveys, online meetings and interviews

» Compile into the landscape assessment – Jul 2017

» Preliminary gap identification – Aug 2017

» Next meeting with TAC – Sept 2017
