High‐Performance building means a building that

integrates and optimizes on a life‐cycle basis all

major high‐performance attributes, including

energy [and water] conservation, environment,

safety, security, durability, accessibility, cost‐

benefit, productivity, sustainability, functionality,

and operational considerations.‐Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 §401 (PL 110‐140)

High-Performance Buildings

Identifying a Path Forward

• Wide‐ranging examination of key issues with recommendations

• http://newbuildings.org/performance‐outcomes‐event‐report

• Follow‐on discussions in early 2016

Common Definition for ZEB• Zero Energy Building (ZEB):

– An energy‐efficient building where, on a source energy basis, the actual annual delivered energy is less than or equal to the on‐site renewable exported energy.

• The designation Zero Energy Building (ZEB) should be used only for buildings that have demonstrated through actual annual measurements that the delivered energy is less than or equal to the on‐site renewable exported energy.

Driving to Outcomes• We’ve done the easy stuff

– Optimized current equipment/methodologies– Honed individual disciplines

• Drive for high‐performance– Integrate and optimize to achieve multiple requirements

• Owners, Occupants, Policymakers demanding results

• Fundamental shift to life‐cycle performance– Driving new tools, contracts, delivery methods

• Comprehensive strategy, collaborative approach– Integrated Design, BIM, Delivery Methods, Contracts, Commissioning

11/4/2015

18

Tackling the Energy Code Challenges

• Bring wider focus to designconstructionoperations

• Tie to actual, measured results

• Limit burdens on code departments

• Incent smooth handover

• Move beyond prescriptive and component‐by‐component approach

• All energy uses covered

• Compliance through most cost‐effective means

Outcome‐based Pathway in the International Green Construction

Code• Sets targets

– Table based on CBECS– Ratio of actual performance to table reference

• Compliance– Issue Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or Post Occupancy Verification Permit

– Owner bears burden of reporting to resolve TCO/POVP• 12 months compliant data within 3 years• Certified by registered design professional• Could hinder financing, insurance, leasing, sale, permitting, etc.

– Penalties/resolution up to AHJ– Requires links with other policies/departments

11/4/2015

19

Seattle Target Performance Path

• Outcome‐based pathway

• Establishes energy use targets

• Requires demonstration of operational energy use

• Financial security to be used as penalty ($4sqft)

– Proportion eligible for mitigation

Setting the Stage• Link with comprehensive policy approaches to

performance goals

• Coupled with benchmarking & reporting can begin to develop localized targets

• Supports movement beyond one time demonstration to ongoing compliance

• Allows future focus on regulating performance of existing buildings

• Create feedback loops within & between AEC, O+M, government

• Drive improvements in performance data, modeling, turnover, integrated design and operations

Governor Deukmejian Courthouse, Long Beach

• Public‐Private Partnership/DBFOM

• The performance‐based contract allowed the courthouse to be constructed without any public funding and provides for the ongoing maintenance and performance of the facility. Under the terms of the agreement, the Judicial Council can deduct a specific amount from the availability payment if components of the building do not work. For example, there is a $5,000 deduct for every two hours that certain elevators are inoperable.

RSF Plug Load Reduction Strategies

• Elevators– Use energy efficient traction elevators– Change elevator lighting to energy efficient

fluorescent lighting– Turn off elevator lighting when the elevator is

unoccupied• Break Rooms

– Increase the number of people that use each break room from approximately 40 to 60

– Eliminate the cooler on the drinking fountain• Task Lights

– Move from 35W fluorescent task lights to 6W LED task lights

• Phones– Go from 1000 standard phones to 1000 VOIP phone

that consumes 2W each• Copiers, Printers, Fax Machines

– Decrease the number people that use individual copiers, printers and fax machines

– Increase the number of people that use common, or group, copiers, printers and fax machines from 15 to 20

– Increase the use of all‐in‐one machines• Computers

– Go from approximately 260 laptops, 33% of staff, to 720, 90% of staff, ensure standby mode works for all workstations

• Data Center– Blade Servers with Virtualization– High efficiency UPS– 65W/employee current to 48W/employee in RSF

• The result of these strategies is a 47% reduction in plug loads

Summary

• Keep the building simple

• Let the occupants help with the controls—engage them

• Default is maximum energy savings

• Make the user interface SIMPLE

• Design the building to be robust and to work with the occupants, not ignore the occupants

• Occupants can be come your biggest ally.
