What is 2030 Now?

Major vehicle of SIPA’s marketing strategy

– Build category brand awareness

– Overcome barriers and compel action

What is 2030 Now

• The building industry will undergo a major change in the next 20 years

• Pending federal legislation, state legislation and other programs point to 2030 as an endpoint for significant energy use reductions

• SIPs are the technology that can meet these reductions today

Outline

• Legislative background

• Role of energy efficiency in the future of building

• Why SIPs?

• Marketing strategy

• Brand position for key market segments

Background - Federal

American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES)– Passed in the House in June 2009

– Requires homes to be 50% more efficient than 2006 IECC by 2014

– 5% increase each year until 2029

– 70% more efficient by 2030

– Similar schedule for nonresidential construction

Background - State

Washington State’s Energy First bill– 70 % increase by 2031– Incrementally move toward goal from

2013 to 2031

Oregon Reach Code– Carbon neutral by 2030– Modeled after ICC International Green

Construction Code (IGCC)

Background – Energy Star

Energy Star 2011

– Higher standards to keep pace with energy-efficient codes, technologies and practices

– Quality framing checklist to reduce the amount of thermal bridging permissible

Other Programs

2030 Challenge

LEED

Builders Challenge

National Green Building Standard

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a key element of any green home or commercial building

Buildings account for 40% of U.S. energy use

Reduces carbon footprint

Not greenwashing – tested, verifiable benefits and payback

Why SIPs?

70% reduction in energy use cannot be accomplished with conventional building envelope systems

SIPs are the easiest way to reach the airtightness and insulation level necessary

Builders can jump to the future of building instead of stair-stepping their practices to match incremental code increases

SIP building envelope is the basis for whole house performance, high efficiency HVAC, better IEQ, and greater durability

Marketing Strategy

Strategic imperatives (residential)

– Create a strong, relevant, compelling brand

– Provide service support that takes away the uncertainty of change, and enable builders to provide high value, high quality homes

– Create awareness for energy efficiency as the key component of green building

Marketing Strategy

Strategic imperatives (residential)

– Overcome barriers to drive specification and purchase behavior

– Develop a case for “throwing out the old and embracing the new”

– Align with key strategic product and systems partners with a similar vision of the future
