  1. California’s Commercial Building Energy Asset Rating System (BEARS) • April 8th 2013

  2. Acknowledgements

  3. An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building

  4. An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems.

  5. An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems. Energy asset rating should not be considered an estimate of a building’s actual energy use

  6. An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems. Energy asset rating should not be considered an estimate of a building’s actual energy use, rather it is designed to give the owner an idea of the energy efficiency potential of the building independent of the way the building is currently operated.

  7. An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems. Energy asset rating should not be considered an estimate of a building’s actual energy use, rather it is designed to give the owner an idea of the energy efficiency potential of the building independent of the way the building is currently operated. This perspective enables a reasonable comparison of a building’s energy efficiency potential to other buildings.

  8. Which is Getting Better MPG? ~20 MPG ~100 MPG http://www.curbsideclassic.com/auto-biography/the-great-american-anti-towing-conspiracy/ http://tourismplacesworld.blogspot.com/2011/08/worlds-steepest-street.html

  10. Role of an Asset Rating Real estate transactions Inform policy goals Demonstrate benefits of energy efficiency Prioritize energy efficiency investments

  11. BEARS Rating Process

  12. Data Collection

  13. Sensitivity Analysis

  14. Data Collection Considerations Sensitive Parameters Non-Sensitive Parameters

  15. Energy Modeling

  16. DOE Reference Buildings EnergyPlus ASHRAE 90.1 and 62.1 16 building types Represents 70% of the commercial building stock http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/openstudio.cfm

  17. Building Types

  18. Data Translation

  19. Field Surveys

  20. Data Collection Testing 5 sites • Café • Two Office Buildings • Quickserve Restaurant • Grocery Store

  21. BEARS Rating

  22. BEARS Certificate 2012 PROTOTYPE: NOT FINAL

  23. Future of BEARS

  24. Future of BEARS Testing Refine framework Develop assessor training Develop BEARS software tool Grow scope to include more buildings

  25. BEARS provides a new way of thinking about the value of a building’s permanent assets, and creates a more robust link between energy efficiency and property value
