  1. [Presenter Name] Leverage ENERGY STAR® to Achieve High Performing Buildings

  2. Contents • Overview of the ENERGY STAR Buildings Program • The EPA ENERGY STAR energy performance scale & Portfolio Manager • Tools and resources to support building energy performance improvement • Tools and Resources Supporting Market Sectors • Marketing and communications resources • ENERGY STAR recognition opportunities • Getting Started

  3. ENERGY STAR Buildings Program

  4. ENERGY STAR is … Voluntary public-private partnership Save money Protect the environment Energy efficient products and practices Recognized by over 85% of Americans Also recognized abroad: Australia, Canada, European Union, Japan, New Zealand, & Taiwan

  5. ENERGY STAR Accomplishments Utility Bill Savings (Billions kWh) Emission Savings (Vehicle equivalents in millions)

  6. Energy is the Largest Operating Expense * Data based on 2007 BOMA Experience Exchange Report $14.93 NOI/sf & $2.26 Utility cost/sf

  7. Proven Energy Management Strategy Used to: • Assess current energy performance • Set reduction goals • Track savings over time • Reward improvements

  8. The EPA Energy Performance Scale and Portfolio Manager

  9. Standardized Metric Until recently, a standardized, comparable metric of whole building energy performance did not exist EPA introduced the Energy Performance Scale in 1999 to meet this need 9

  10. Is 18 MPG high or low for an automobile? Is 80 kBtu/SF/YR high or low for a building? Is Your Building Performing Well? Energy Performance EPA Benchmarking Fuel Efficiency MPG

  11. Houses of Worship K-12 Schools Office Buildings Residence Hall/Dormitories Bank/Financial Institutions Medical Offices Hospitals Retail Stores Warehouses Hotels Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants Data Centers Supermarkets Courthouses Eligible Space Types Senior Care Facilities

  12. Data You’ll Need to Collect General Address Year built Energy Consumption 12 consecutive months for each source (electric, gas, etc.) Space Type Data Square Footage Occupancy Number of PCs Hours of operation % Heated and Cooled

  13. Best investment opportunities are in lower quartiles - greatest potential for improvement RCx & O&M improvements yield savings and label candidates High scoring buildings provide lessons learned and label candidates Reward & Learn Invest & Tune Tune Invest 100 1 25 50 75 Energy Performance Scale Energy Performance Scale is a Comparative Metric

  14. Top Benefits of Energy Benchmarking • Establish a baseline energy performance score for each property • Set goals • Measure and verify improvements – financial and environmental • Prioritize investments • Identify lessons learned and apply across portfolio • Earn the ENERGY STAR • Earn recognition from BOMA and others for environmental and operational excellence

  15. Tools and Resources Supporting Improvements in Building Energy Performance

  16. Building Upgrade Manual • Detailed information on: • Retrocommissioning • Lighting upgrades • Heating & cooling upgrades • Fan system upgrades • Efficient office equipment • Building envelope improvements

  17. Make the Case for Efficiency Investment • Visitwww.energystar.gov/buildings • Click Tools & Resources Library • Look under Financial Evaluation

  24. ENERGY STAR Challenge • National call to action for building owners and operators • Set at least 10% reduction goal • Benchmark and take action to improve • Meeting this goal would • Save $20 billion a year • Reduce GHG emissions the same amount as taking 30 million vehicles off the road www.energystar.gov/challenge

  25. Web Banners Informational Resources Co- Brandable Marketing Materials Challenge Marketing Toolkit

  26. Recognition Opportunities

  27. Apply for the ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Scale 75 to 100 Create and Submit Building Profile Obtain Professional Engineer Verification Submit SEP & Application

  28. ENERGY STAR Buildings –A Market Differentiator Commercial Real Estate properties that earn the ENERGY STAR label: • Save $.50 sq/ft (on average) • Consume 35% less energy AND • Savings persist over time • Occupancy/tenant retention is higher • Savings leveraged into higher asset value upon disposition Kats & Perlman, 2006

  29. ENERGY STAR Leaders • Superior energy management is a leading indicator of overall organizational management • ENERGY STAR Leaders recognizes partners that demonstrate superior energy management through organization-wide continuous improvement: • Reduce normalized energy use by 10%, 20%, 30% (or more) AND/OR • Achieve a portfolio-wide score of 75 or higher

  30. Partner of the Year ENERGY STAR Annual Awards Ceremony Organizations are recognized for outstanding performance in reducing energy consumption
