  1. Green Action Team Meeting May 6, 2009 Status of Major Deliverables Green Building Initiative (Exec Order S-20-04)

  2. CA Green Building Code

  3. California Green BuildingStandards Code - CALGREEN • Presentation Goals • Agencies that Developed the CalGreen Code • How the CalGreen Code was Developed • Items Contained in the CalGreen Code • Code Advisory Committees • Local Government Ordinances • Future of the CalGreen Code

  4. California Green BuildingStandards Code -CALGREEN • Agencies that Developed the CalGreen Code • The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) • Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) • Division of the State Architect (DSA) • California Building Standards Commission (CBSC)

  5. California Green BuildingStandards Code -CALGREEN • How the CalGreen Code was Developed • Resources reviewed in developing green building standards • Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) • Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) • Green Globes • UC Berkeley Green Building Baseline • Draft ASHRAE Standard 189P • State agencies

  6. California Green BuildingStandards Code -CALGREEN • Sustainable Building Task Force • Established by Executive Order D-16-00 • Green Building Action Team • Established by Executive Order S-20-04 • CBSC’s and HCD’s Green Building Focus Group • Building officials • Representatives from the construction industry • Representatives from international building code writing bodies • Representatives from the environmental community • State agency representatives

  7. California Green BuildingStandards Code -CALGREEN • Items Contained in the CalGreen Code • Subject areas addressed in the standards • Planning and design • Energy conservation • Water efficiency • Materials usage efficiency • Indoor environmental quality

  8. California BuildingStandards Commission • Code Advisory Committees • Code Advisory Committees advise commission and staff on proposed building standards • Six Committees • Green Building Committee

  9. California Green BuildingStandards Code -CALGREEN • Local Government Ordinances • Local governments may make more stringent modifications to the California Building Standards Code, which includes the CalGreen Code • Justification for making local modifications • Climate • Topography • Geology

  10. California Green BuildingStandards Code -CALGREEN • Future of the CalGreen Code • Optional standards initially—effective August 1, 2009 • Mandatory level - 2010 • Tier 1 • Tier 2 • Separation of residential and non-residential • Optional measures in Appendices

  11. LEED for New Construction • All buildings designed & built LEED Silver or better • Energy savings avg. 14% to 50% > Title 24. • Other Benefits • Water savings • Waste recycling • Improved indoor air quality • Challenges • ~ 40 projects suspended due to state budget challenges

  12. State Outreach & LEED Training • Green CA Task Force formed Jan. 2009 • 30 agencies participating, covering multiple initiatives • LinkedIn “Green California” Group formed • LEED Training • 375 State professionals LEED trained 2007-08 • 24 LEED AP’s (30 more testing in June) • Current LEED trainings underway now • Updated LEED Training for 2009 version • Webcast “live” and archived @ www.dgs.ca.gov/LEEDtraining

  13. Retro-commissioning ProgramAll state-owned buildings > 50,000 sq.ft. RCx on a 5-year cycle; Goal - 8% savings • Phase I – 25 projects: • Continuing to avg. 10% verified electrical savings for measures implemented with avg. payback < 3 yrs. • Avg. projected electricity savings for measures yet to be implemented approx. 14% with avg. payback approx. 4 yrs. • Avg. projected Nat Gas savings - 16% • Phase II – 18 projects: • Investigation reports starting to come in • CEC/PIER Program – ENFORMA Building Diagnostics installed in 6 buildings • Phase III – 13 projects: • Consultant contracts expected to be executed July 1, 2009 • All buildings to have ENFORMA installed • Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment

  14. Retrofit ProgramImplement cost effective efficiency retrofits – goal: 12% savings • State of CA / Investor-Owned Utilities Partnership • Currently in “Bridge Period”; 2009-2011 cycle under CPUC review • Enhanced incentives to improve margins for performance contracting or buy-down costs to fit existing budgets • Statewide ESCO Contract • 1st two RFP’s combined into one project; contract virtually ready for signature • Current challenge: Ability to get a GS $MART loan due to the credit markets • Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment • ESCO model – Fund Investment Grade Audits (IGA’s) • Non-ESCO model – Leverage funding to support the investigation and design of aggressive energy efficiency projects at large facilities

  15. Small Building Retrofit ModelBuildings < 50,000 s.f. make up 2/3 of state-owned office space • State/IOU Partnership has developed the roadmap and toolkit for success! • Rooftop package unit tune-up program • New HVAC technologies • Duct sealing • Load shifting to off-peak usage • Lighting upgrades (LED; wireless, dimmable controls; Personal Lighting Systems) • Vending machines; Exit signs • Resource monitoring • Track usage • Monitor and optimally maintain building systems • Calculate GHG emissions • State agency partners ready to go (DMV, CHP, DPR, DWR, DOT, MIL, DPH) • Current challenges • Utility agreements • Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment • Revolving account needed to fully leverage incentives • We can reach our goals, but it will take Executive-level support

  16. LEED-EB: Operations & MaintenanceSustainable Facilities
