BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM

1. BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM Roland Risser Department of EnergyEnergy Efficiency & Renewable Energy April 21, 2010 AGA Leadership Council Meeting

2. Opportunity The Building Technologies Program (BTP) reduces energy consumption in buildings, while contributing to the President’s goal of 83% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050. • Buildings consume: • 39% of all energy in the U.S. • 72% of electricity • 38% of carbon emissions • EIA projects that by 2030, Buildings will: • Increase CO2 emissions by 270 million tons • Consume 82% of the total projected electric load growth Massive improvements are needed in both existing and new buildings at large scale and quickly.

3. Energy and Buildings

4. Codes and Standards • Leveraging market priming • Shorter lead times • Different levels for new construction vs retrofit • Market Priming • New utility partnerships • New high tier in ENERGY STAR • ENERGY STAR Number of Unit Sales Increasing Energy Efficiency (Metrics) Approach BTP increases the efficiency of buildings through three areas. • R&D • Innovates and develops new, more efficient products • Drives more aggressive codes / standards

5. Program Vision BTP’s Program Vision has four planks: • High Impact Innovation: Strategically Focus on High Opportunity Technologies • Maximize potential energy savings (timing, quantitative results, market acceptance) • Accelerate the speed and increase the breadth and savings opportunities of codes and standards improvements • Leverage R&D results to accelerate codes and standards results • Speed and Scale: Deploy Innovative New Programs, Quickly at Scale • Appliance Rebates, Retrofit Ramp Up, Recovery through Retrofit • (Home Star, Building Star) • Capture Hearts and Minds: Increase Focus on Energy Users • Incorporate economics, markets and behaviors into all BTP Programs • Communicate effectively to build demand for new technologies, products and markets • Talent: Expand Organizational Capability • Build technical and leadership skills to sustain long-term momentum

6. Statutory Requirements BTP focus is directed by legislation in many areas. ILLUSTRATIVE: DOE activities support the legislation that locks in the energy savings. For example, BTP’s work on compact fluorescent lights led to the lighting legislation in EISA 2007.

7. Building Codes » Model Updates Residential model codes have been upgraded and commercial model codes updates are planned. • Goal: Model codes to be 30% more energy efficient than existing Residential Energy Codes Commercial Energy Codes

8. Standards and Test Procedures » Schedule BTP will first complete all mandates and then prioritize other opportunities. BTP will support enforcement of standards and ENERGY STAR.

9. Emerging Technologies » Portfolio The emerging technologies portfolio addresses high end uses. • Solid State Lighting • Windows and Thermal Envelope (Heating, Cooling and Lighting) • Advanced Heating and Cooling • Solar Heating and Cooling • Water Heating • Appliances and Miscellaneous Electric Loads (Refrigeration, Wet Clean, Cooking, Computers and Electronics) • Analysis Tools • Sensors and Controls U.S. Buildings Energy by End Use (2010) (Source: Building Energy Data Book 2009)

10. Solid State Lighting BTP conducts R&D for Solid-State Lighting (SSL) devices and technologies, both inorganic light emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The SSL R&D agenda is established through an annual consultative process with: • General lighting industry • Compound semi-conductor industry • Universities • Research institutions • National laboratories • Trade organizations • Other industry consortia • Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance

11. Solid State Lighting » Performance Goals The SSL goal is 126 lumens per Watt by 2012 (with 1,000 total lumen output) and <$2/klm device package by 2015. LED Goal: 126 lpw Sources: 2010 Draft Solid State Lighting Multi-Year Program Plan *Note: Linear fluorescent and HID luminous efficacies represent only lamp efficacies and not system efficacies.

12. Double Glaze: U = 0.5 Single Glaze: U = 1 Windows » Performance Goals The Windows goal is highly insulating window (R-10) at a cost of $3/ft2 by 2020, and dynamic windows at $5-10/ft2. U – BTU/hr-Ft2 -°F Low “e” U = .35 ENERGY STAR *R5 Window U = 0.2 at <$4ft2 (Dynamic Niche) R10 Window U = 0.10 at $3/ft2 (Dynamic Wide Spread at $5-10ft2) - Loss + Gain 2000 1980 1990 2020 1973 2010 *Note: Original goal was R6 since 2003 but high cost of kypton has resulted in R5 performance

13. HVAC » R&D Planning Activities Other areas, such as HVAC, are following the lead of SSL and Windows and developing cost metrics and roadmaps. • Draft HVAC roadmap just completed and under review • Strategically researching working fluids and developing a roadmap • Leveraging ARPA-E and BTP-1 for breakthrough technologies • Expanding scope to Appliances and Miscellaneous Electric Loads (MELs)

14. Research Planning » The HUB On February 12, 2010, the Obama Administration announced a multi-agency funding opportunity to support an Energy Regional Innovation Cluster (E-RIC). • Seven Federal agencies are working together to leverage funding and resources to promote regional growth • Holistic, systems approach to science and technology and will act as an integrator of basic and applied R&D • Develop and demonstrate sustainable and efficient models for attaining national strategic objectives • Multidisciplinary team of researchers to speed R&D and shorten path to technological development and commercial deployment

15. Research Planning » New R&D Areas Advanced building controls play a significant role in improving building energy performance. • Sensors and controls work will be determined based on ARRA proposals • Areas of interest include: • Advanced controls and interfaces • Whole building control • Component/system level sensors and controls • Optimization algorithms and tools • Gas Research • Building controls and advanced lighting scoping studies under review • Collaborating with ARPA-E and OE, including controls as SmartGrid interface

16. Residential and Commercial Integration Residential and Commercial Integration are working with the marketplace to achieve aggressive deployment goals. • Building America • Commercial Building Partnerships • Appliance Rebates • Retrofit Ramp-Up • Recovery through Retrofit Residential Partnerships* * * Does not include all partnerships

17. Recovery through Retrofit » Highlights Recovery through Retrofit addresses the barriers to energy efficiency. BARRIERS SIX RECOMMENDATIONS • Develop Energy Performance Label for Homes (DOE) Access to Information: Consumers do not have access to straightforward and reliable information. • Develop a National Home Energy Performance Measure (DOE) • Support Municipal Finance Programs (DOE) Access to Financing: Homeowners face high upfront costs and are often unable to recoup the value of their investment. • Improve Energy Efficiency Mortgages (HUD) Expand State Revolving Loan Funds (DOE) Access to Skilled Workforce: There is an insufficient amount of skilled workers to expand energy retrofit programs on a national level. Establish National Workforce Certification and Training Standards (DOE/DOL/SBA)

18.
