  1. The Path to Net Zero Energy Buildings Arkansas Chapter ASHRAE February 2008 Bill Harrison

  2. Total Energy Consumption United States

  3. World Marketed Energy ConsumptionQuadrillion Btu History Projections Source: Energy Information Administration (EIA), International Energy Annual Report 2004

  4. Global Energy Consumption Gas Hydro Renew Total: 12.8 TW U.S.: 3.3 TW (99 Quads)

  5. The Rising Cost of Oil

  6. World Energy Consumption

  7. Net-Zero-Energy Buildings Buildings which, on an annual basis, use no more energy than is provided by on-site renewable energy sources.

  8. Energy Terms • Energy Use Intensity: BTU/Sq. Ft./Year • CBECS: Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey • DOE Determination: Modeled predicted performance of a building designed in compliance with ASHRAE Std. 90.1 • Site versus Source

  9. CBECS Snapshot of entire commercial sector as of a certain date (done every 4 years—1999, 2003, 2007) Data masked to protect privacy—no real locations, no real areas, skewed number of floors Lots of detail about building composition (but it is self-reported) Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey

  10. Relative EUI Values All are “site” values in BTU / Square Foot / Year • 91,000: 2003 CBECS data • 47,000 - 50,000: Probable 90.1-2004 Determination Number • 36,000: Target for 90.1-2010 • 25,000: Energy Efficient Building • 0: Net Zero Energy Building - Requires renewable energy (PV, Wind)

  11. Implications for Building Designers • Absolute requirement to incorporate energy efficiency into all of our designs • Better use of tools to predict energy use in buildings • Use of life cycle costing • Learning to communicate the message to owners and their agents

  12. Architecture 2030 Challenge target: in 2007 all new buildings and major renovations shall be designed to use 50% of the regional average for that building type, on fossil fuel reduction basis (2030 is on carbon basis) Architecture 2030 Challenge Target increases to 60% in 2010 and by 10% for each 5 years thereafter until in 2030 all new and renovated building designs will be carbon neutral (using no net fossil fuel energy to operate)

  13. AIA Green Building Coalition • Adopted the Architecture 2030 Challenge • AIA • U.S. Green Building Council • ASHRAE • Adopted CBECS Baseline

  14. Practical Energy Measures • Building orientation • Daylighting • Improved envelope thermal performance • Cool roof • External overhang or shading • Continuous air barrier

  15. Integrated Design • Architect, HVAC, lighting and electrical, interior design, landscape architecture • Establish energy budget during conceptual design phase of project • Monitor energy impact of building decisions • Future: Building Information Modeling

  16. Energy Modeling • Manufacturers’ programs • Energy Plus • www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus • eQuest • www.doe2.com/equest/ • DOE-2.1E • www.gundog.lbl.gov/dirsoft/d2whatis.html

  17. Reference Sources • US Department of Energy • www.energy.gov • National Renewable Energy Laboratory • Great case studies • www.nrel.gov • EPA • www.epa.gov • ASHRAE • www.engineeringforsustainability.org

  18. Case Study Buildings Oberlin College Lewis Center Oberlin, Ohio goal: zero net site energy use (79%) Zion Visitor Center Springdale, UT goal: 70% energy cost savings (65%) Cambria Office Building Ebensburg, PA goal: 66% energy cost savings (43%) Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) Annapolis, MD goal: LEED 1.0 Platinum Rating (25%) Thermal Test Facility (TTF) Golden, CO goal: 70% energy savings (51%) BigHorn Home Improvement Silverthorne, CO goal: 60% energy cost savings (53%) Science House, Science Museum of Minnesota St. Paul, Minnesota goal: zero net site energy use (139%)

  19. The Path to a Net Zero Building cash flow Lease Costs (or Finance Costs) utility bills 1 Total Annual Costs ($/year) 2 0 0% 100% Source Energy Savings (%)

  20. Sustainability Standards • 90.1-2010 – Prescriptive and Performance • 189.1P – High Performance Green Buildings • 189.2P – High Performance Green Healthcare Facilities • 191P - Water Conservation Standard

  21. Advanced Energy Design Guides

  22. AEDG for K-12 School Buildings • 30% savings over 90.1-1999 • Distributed to 14,000 school administrators • All AEDG available for free download www.ashrae.org

  23. ASHRAE GreenGuide • Second Edition • Step-by-step manual for the entire building lifecycle • Construction, operation, maintenance, and eventual demolition • Techniques applicable to related technical disciplines • 29 "Green Tips" • Case studies, checklists, and other practical information

  24. High Performing Buildings • Launched November 2007 • Case Studies • Lessons Learned

  25. Hot and Humid Design Guide • Published January 2008 • First Edition

  26. Summary • Energy Efficiency is imperative – set a target energy budget, talk about EUI • Make energy modeling a standard step in design process – track EUI changes • Communicate with owners and agents • Document efficiency measures to transmit to building operators
