Standards

17


ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2014, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings

18

• Standard 189.1 provides total building sustainability guidance for designing, building and operating high-performance green buildings

• Has broader scope than Standard 90.1• Partners with the International Code

Council (ICC) for the International Green Construction Code (IgCC)

• Single resource on green buildings “IgCCpowered by 189.1” to be published in summer 2018


• Beneficial for those in design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance and service of centralized building water systems and components

• Standard 188 establishes minimum legionellosis risk management requirements for building water systems

• This is the foundation of the CDC’s Toolkit entitled “Developing a Water Management Program to Reduce Legionella Growth and Spread in Buildings”

19

ASHRAE Standard 188, Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems


• Standard 90.4 was designed to ensure only the most inefficient data centers are non-compliant

• Is aggressive but has very achievable mechanical and electric efficiency requirements that save agencies money

• Data centers are often the largest energy users at an agency

• Works in concert with Standard 90.1

20

ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016, Energy Standard for Data Centers


ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings

• Standard 90.1 is a benchmark for commercial building energy codes

• ASHRAE has set forth efforts to address plug load reduction and help design teams account for them when evaluating building loads with Standard 90.1

• “Regulated loads” are no longer included in a summary of energy savings in the Standard 90.1 revision in 2016

• Plug loads will continue to be a critical component in achieving Advanced Energy Design Guides


Extending Our Community

• ASHRAE 2017 Building Performance Analysis Conference: September 27-29, 2017 – Atlanta, GA.

• 2017 Developing Economies: November 10-11, 2017 – Delhi, India.

• 2018 ASHRAE Winter Conference and AHR Expo: January 20-24, 2018 – Chicago, IL.

Advancing the Water Sector in EE & RE


Adam T. Carpenter, [email protected] Water Works Association

August 16, 2017



• 52,000 community water systems serve about 85% of the United States population.

• Several hundred serve more than 100,000 customers, many thousands serve fewer than 10,000.

• Also about 14,000 waste water treatment facilities• 2-4% of nation’s electricity use• For broad adoption, solutions must be both cost effective and

easy to implement – larger utilities practice much greater sophistication in energy world. Often “race to be second” with new tech.

31

Overview of Water Sector


• $1 trillion needed in investment in nation’s drinking water utilities over next 25 years

• Supply constraints driving sector towards lower quality source waters (more energy-intensive treatment)

• Need to manage water loss and improve conservation (water has embodied energy)

• Federal and state regulatory landscape remains complex

32

Major Sector Drivers


Sector Opportunities – Water sector efficiency

Water sector utilities….– Use a lot of Electricity– Routine, maintenance, and capital projects can reduce energy

use or energy intensity– Water utilities rarely get credit for these improvements

• Water utilities offer a “gold standard” for energy efficiency projects because they…

… are monitored by trained staff… complete capital projects that are long lived… operate 24/7… are verifiable


• October 2016 multi-association plan serves as transition paper for sector

• Describes sector’s energy use, past involvement, and opportunities for future

• Available on request

34

Multi-Association Roadmap


Building State Activities - California

• CPUC “Water-Energy Calculator” takes out much of the guesswork for energy savings of water efficiency– Challenges implementing into EE programs

• Partnered with Southern California Edison and others to explore– Water Loss Control– Pressure Management– Maybe others


Building State Activities - Texas

• Have worked with Texas EE administrators to propose pumps/motors and similar EE measures not previously available to the sector

• Challenges remain here and elsewhere, especially for more thorough programs


Building State Activities - Massachusetts

• Worked with staff at MassDEP, re-analyzed existing pilot program data– Demonstrated $15 of benefit to society for every $1

spent on EE/RE at Water/Wastewater facilities– 2 Journal-AWWA articles published discussing project and

benefit/cost.• Snow et al July 2016

http://dx.doi.org/10.5942/jawwa.2016.108.0116• DiBara et al October 2016

http://dx.doi.org/10.5942/jawwa.2016.108.0158




• Policy Challenges to overcome– “Free Rider” or O&M requirements– Public / Private entity concerns– Uniform measurement methodologies needed– Challenges demonstrating cost effectiveness outside of

MA’s methodology• Case studies demonstrating sector incentives• Local champions to work with their states

38

Key Challenges Moving Forward


Better Plants

• DOE program provides tools, resources, technical support, and recognition of energy intensity improvements.

• Utilities set ambitious goals and report progress over time. • How do we extend benefits from those participating to the

thousands of utilities not involved?


• AWWA among those who wrote comments on DE-FOA-001676: Request for Information on Clean Water Technologies. R&D could lead to significant sector change in portions of energy profile.

• Encouraged broader look across water utility sector than narrow focus on desalination technologies - would allow larger number of utilities and proportion of the public to benefit.

• Full comments on www.awwa.org under “news”.

40

Clean Water RFI

http://www.awwa.org/


• Given substantial variability in types of treatment, topography, and other factors, currently lack many standard measures of efficiency

• Development of uniform measures of energy efficiency for the sector could catalyze substantial change

• DOE’s Uniform Methods Project could be one venue for such development

41

Measuring Sector Efficiency


• Low cost energy in many areas good for bottom line, but limiting EE/RE opportunities

• Expected driver of major expansion of state programs is now largely absent

• How can we maximize, recognize, and reward energy savings of major sector trends?

• Questions?
