1. Overview of ENERGY STAR forMultifamily High RiseRequirements

2. Agenda • Development of the MFHR Requirements • Role of the ENERGY STAR MFHR Developer Partner • Role of the Licensed Professional • Earning the ENERGY STAR for MFHR Buildings • Performance Path • Prescriptive Path • Submittal Requirements

3. Development of MFHR Requirements

4. Multifamily High-Rise vs. Other Residential Buildings

5. The Reference Standard ASHRAE 90.1-2007 • Minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of high-rise multifamily buildings Appendix G • Protocols for generating an energy performance rating for buildings that exceed the requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Program Standard • LEED Mid-Rise • Enterprise Green Communities

6. Technical Requirements Developed • Set Energy Performance Target for achieving ENERGY STAR • Developed modeling guidelines • Developed testing and verification protocols • Developed tools to facilitate program participation

7. Piloting ENERGY STAR MFHR Guidelines (2005 – 2011) City Row – Projected 11/2010 1212 MLK- 20% Parker Hall - 21% Newark Genesis - 28% Casey Building - 44% (1) Myrtle Avenue - 21% (9) (1) Intervale Green - 33% (2) Project Under Development (1) The Cedars- 30% (1) Atlantic Ave. Apts.- 20% (2) Atlantic Ave. Residences 1- 22% Atlantic Ave. Residences 2 and 3 - 26% Trinity Bluff - 34% Las Colinas- 25% The Eltona- 32% Brookhaven - 25%

8. Participant Roles and Expectations

9. ENERGY STAR MFHR Developer Partner Partner with ENERGY STAR Submit MFHR Project Application for each building/project Engage a licensed professional to validate submitted documents Commit to benchmarking building in Portfolio Manager 9

10. Role of Licensed Professional Work with project design team Coordinate modeling of Baseline and Proposed building OR guide design team through Prescriptive Path requirements Validate plan review to ensure final design meets requirements and necessary details are included in bid specifications Validate on-site inspections during construction to ensure measures are installed as specified Submit required documentation to EPA 10

11. Earning the ENERGY STAR

12. Pathways to ENERGY STAR Mandatory Requirements (Prerequisites) Performance Path Prescriptive Path Testing and Verification ENERGY STAR Benchmarking

13. Common Requirements for Performance and Prescriptive Paths

14. Meeting the Prerequisites ENERGY STAR qualified appliances ENERGY STAR qualified lighting in 80% of light fixtures Occupancy sensors for lighting in most common spaces Right-sized heating and cooling equipment Total duct leakage for in-unit systems ≤6 CFM25 per 100ft2 of conditioned floor area (≤8 CFM25 per 100ft2 for units <1200ft2) Air-sealing to achieve infiltration <0.30 CFM50/ft2 of enclosure Double-pane, low-e windows Low-flow faucets & showerheads (≤ 2.0gpm) and WaterSense® toilets Continuous air barrier between conditioned/unconditioned spaces Ventilation per ASHRAE 62-2007 (apts. and common areas) *Not all Prerequisites have been listed here; see Prerequisite Checklist 14

15. Testing and Verification Protocols • Mandatory requirements for the inspection, testing and verification of components related to the building’s energy performance. • The intent of the protocols is to verify that • the construction documents & final building include all Prerequisites. • measures used to achieve the Performance levels predicted by the model have been installed and perform as modeled. • all measures specified by the Prescriptive Path have been installed. • Changes to the initial design noted during inspections must be reflected in a revised model and submitted as the As-Built model.

16. Testing and Verification Worksheets • Mandatory Excel-based worksheets that document the results of plan reviews, inspections, verification, and performance testing. • Provide inspection worksheets that can be used in the field that follow the Testing and Verification Protocols, but are organized for the convenience of the site inspector. • Provide a central file to store building information relevant to all members of the design team: architect, energy modeler, site inspector, project manager, plan reviewer, etc. • Must be submitted once prior to construction to document results of the plan review and once after construction is complete, to document the results of testing and verification.

17. Photo Template • This Word-based template was designed so that pictures used to provide photo-documentation required by the T&V Protocols could be easily formatted and consistently reported. • Photo documentation must be submitted to EPA at the end of construction as part of the As-Built Submittal • The Photo Template need only be submitted for the licensed professional’s first three buildings that participate in the Program.

18. Performance Path

19. Performance Path Requirements • Meet program Prerequisites • Meet Performance Target • 15% better than ASHRAE 90.1-2007 as defined by Appendix G and Simulation Guidelines • Third-party verification and performance testing throughout construction • Commit to Benchmarking in Portfolio Manager for at least two years

20. Performance Path Work Flow Design Construction Post Construction

21. Prescriptive Path

22. Prescriptive Path Requirements • Install climate specific prescriptive requirements that meet or exceed Prerequisites • Approximately equivalent to 15% better than ASHRAE 90.1-2007, but no modeling • Third-party verification and performance testing throughout construction • Commit to benchmarking in Portfolio Manager for at least two years

23. Prescriptive Path Work Flow Design Construction Post -Construction
