Energy Breakdown by Sector What are we trying to do? Why does it matter? Can we do 70% better in NEW buildings? 90% better? 50% better in RETROFITS?
How is it done today, and what are the limitations of current practice? • “Properly applied offtheshelf or state-of-the-shelf technologies are available to • achieve low-energy buildings. However, these strategies must be applied together • and properly integrated in the design, installation, and operation to realize • energy savings. There is no single efficiency measure or checklist of measures • to achieve low-energy buildings.” • -NEED FOR INTEGRATION OF BEST-In-CLAS COMPONENTS • “-There was often a lack of control software or appropriate control logic to allow the • technologies to work well together. • -Design teams were too optimistic about the behavior of the occupants and their • acceptance of systems. • -Energy savings from daylighting were substantial, but were generally less than • expected. • -Plug loads were often greater than design predictions. • -Effective insulation values are often inflated when comparing the actual building • to the asdesigned building. • -PV systems experienced a range of operational performance degradations. • Common degradation sources included snow, inverter faults, shading, and parasitic • standby losses. “ • -NEED INTEGRATED CONTROL SOFTWARE AND UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS • Each of these buildings saved energy, with energy use 25% to 70% lower than code. • Although each building is a good energy performer, additional energy efficiency • and on-site generation is required for these buildings to reach DOE’s ZEB goal. • -NEED FOR FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN BLUEPRINTS Unique Faculty in CCDC Cookie-cutter
