ENERGY STAR Commercial Buildings Program

•  Offers a strategic approach to energy management

•  Enables building owners, managers, and tenants to save money & protect the environment

•  Provides organizations with measurable information on energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions from commercial buildings

•  Builds on strong ENERGY STAR brand recognition

•  ENERGY STAR on a building = Superior Energy Performance

•  Benchmarking is the first step 6

Value of Benchmarking

Consistent benchmarking in buildings results in energy savings and improved performance

•  Management Tool – Helps business and organizations by offering a platform to:

–  Assess whole building energy and water consumption –  Track changes in energy, water, greenhouse gas emissions, and cost over time –  Track green power purchase –  Share/report data with others –  Create custom reports –  Apply for ENERGY STAR certification

•  Metrics Calculator – Provides key performance metrics to integrate into a strategic management plan

–  Energy consumption (source, site, weather normalized) –  Water consumption (indoor, outdoor) –  Greenhouse gas emissions (indirect, direct, total, avoided) –  ENERGY STAR 1-to-100 score (available for many building types)

Accessible in a free, online secure platform: www.energystar.gov/benchmark

Understand Comparative Performance

9

•  ALL buildings can be benchmarked •  Benchmarking through Portfolio Manager enables

you to: –  Compare one building against a national sample of

similar buildings –  Compare all of your buildings of a similar type to each

other –  Set priorities and targets for the use of limited staff time

and/or investment capital –  Track performance over time and gain recognition

To Get Started Benchmarking in Portfolio Manager

•  Helpful data to have on hand –  Property Information

•  Function •  Name, street address, ZIP/postal code

–  Property type data •  Gross floor area •  Use details (ex. weekly operating hours, number of

computers, number of workers on the main shift, etc)

–  Energy consumption data •  Property-specific invoice information from all purchased and

on-site generated energy for all fuel types

10

How To

– Navigate the new Portfolio Manager – Add a property and enter details about it – Enter energy and water consumption data – Share properties – Generate performance reports to assess

progress – Respond to data requests

Eastman Chemical Company overview

Building 469: A case study ENERGY STAR® Battle of the Buildings

Building 469: A case study   14,960 square feet   37 people   53 computers

  8 heat pumps   Fixed outside air flow   Above the ceiling return plenum

Significant energy reduction in B469

B469 met the ENERGY STAR® goal in < 2 years and reduced its annual energy use 58%

How B469 earned ENERGY STAR® certification

  Lighting changes •  More efficient lighting

•  Fewer light fixtures

  Monitor thermostats •  Maintain temperature set points at 72F

•  Ensure that all thermostats are in the same mode

  Improved insulation •  Identified poorly insulated areas using infrared

thermography

How B469 earned ENERGY STAR® certification   Occupant involvement

•  Turn off lights at the end of the work day •  Put computers in sleep mode at the end of the

work day •  Turn off TV and lights in canteen when not

occupied •  Call the energy team when temperatures are a

problem   Occupant comfort

•  Improved thermostat locations •  Diffusers

  Balanced air flows   Relocated as needed   Changed diffuser type as needed

•  Installed personal dampers as needed   Personal heaters used less

Eastman Chemical Company Overview

Building 469: A case study

ENERGY STAR® Battle of the Buildings

GOAL

Reduce building energy use intensity, EUI, 20% in one year.

In the 2012 Battle of the Buildings  We entered 3 office buildings   2 buildings exceeded the EUI reduction goal   2 buildings finished in the top 10 of 1,050 office building

competitors

In the 2013 Battle of the Buildings  We’ve entered the same 3 office buildings…  B469 has already exceeded the goal!

All 3 are on target to exceed the goal

Continued energy use intensity reduction in the 2013 competition  Building automation system

•  Use occupancy schedule to control HVAC and lights •  CO2 controlled outside air •  Control and troubleshoot via network server

  Window film •  Minimizes solar heat gain in the summer •  Minimizes radiant heat loss in the winter

 Continued focus on occupant comfort  Continued occupant involvement  Continued communication with occupants

Communication with occupants

Future plans to use ENERGY STAR® portfolio manager

 Eastman headquarters

 Eastman employee center

 Warehouse

 Data center

 Wastewater treatment plant

Summary

 Portfolio Manager is a valuable tool •  Provides quantitative feedback to individuals •  Allows assessment of the value of changes implemented •  Required for ENERGY STAR Certification and participation in

Battle of the Buildings   Improving building efficiency is much like any energy

efficiency program •  Energy management requires a focused effort to succeed •  Gains can be achieved with education and awareness but

diligence will be required to maintain •  Financial investments can result in step changes and many have

attractive paybacks

Portfolio Manager and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Wastewater Treatment Plant refers to:

•  Facili&es designed to treat municipal wastewater.

•  The level of treatment at a plant will vary based on the BOD limits

and the specific processes involved.

•  This property use is intended for primary, secondary, and advanced

treatment facili&es with or without nutrient removal.

Defini&on

Wastewater Treatment Plant refers to:

•  Treatment processes may include biological, chemical, and physical. This property use does not apply to drinking water treatment and distribu6on facili6es.

•  To receive an ENERGY STAR score, your Wastewater Treatment Plant

must have a daily flow of ≤ 150 MGD.

•  The analysis for wastewater treatment facili&es is based on survey

data collected by the American Waterworks Associa6on Research

Founda6on (AwwaRF).

Defini&on

•  More op&ons for Water/Wastewater than was available in PM Classic

•  There is a new customized guide that makes crea&ng a plant report

very easy for anyone who does need to benchmark these facili&es.

PorVolio-‐manager-‐custom-‐repor&ng-‐guide Full-‐list-‐porVolio-‐manager-‐custom-‐repor&ng-‐metrics

All of the main energy and emissions metrics are available on a “per flow” basis. To access these metrics, all you have to do is create your own Excel report. You can include:

·∙ Site Energy per Flow ·∙ Source Energy per Flow ·∙ Weather Normalized Site Energy per Flow ·∙ Weather Normalized Source Energy per Flow ·∙ Weather Normalized Electricity per Flow ·∙ Weather Normalized Gas per Flow ·∙ Total GHG Emissions per Flow ·∙ Direct GHG Emissions per Flow ·∙ Indirect GHG Emissions per Flow ·∙ Biomass GHG emissions per Flow ·∙ Cumula&ve Investment in Energy Projects per Flow ·∙ Es&mated Savings from Energy Projects per Flow

Wastewater Treatment Plants •  Monthly Energy Usage & Cost (kWh, therms, etc)

•  Monthly Average Daily Flow (mgd)

•  Design Flow (mgd)

•  Average Influent BOD (mg/l)

•  Average Effluent BOD (mg/l) •  Fixed Film (Trickling Filters) – Yes or No

•  Nutrient Removal – Yes or No

Water Treatment Plants •  Monthly Energy Usage and Monthly Flow

PM Will Calculate and Display the Following for Wastewater Plants:

•  Energy Star Benchmark RaSng (Useful to Compare Similar Plants)

•  For Selected Years and To Compare Two Years:

  Site Energy Use  Source Energy Use   GHG Emissions – mTons Total or Per gpd   Cost of Energy   Other Metrics

Users Need to Know:

•  WWTP Load Factor Significantly Affects Benchmark Score

•  Default Screen Shows Property Square Footage with Energy/[2 (Buildings Are Minor Energy Users at Most WWTPs) •  Including Buildings and WWTPs in Same Account Can Produce Confusing Results

New PM Lacks Summary Table (can use EXCEL to prepare summary)

Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 2 pm EDT Learn how to track energy use and carbon dioxide emission reduc&ons in wastewater treatment plants, set goals, assess the progress of energy efficiency efforts, and compare the energy use of wastewater treatment plants to other facili&es across the country.
