1 Raising the Bar: A Comparison Study of Iowa s Current and Proposed Energy Code Julia Gauthier, LEED AP BD+C Jeanne Huntsman, AIA, LEED Green Associate The Weidt Group
2 Raising the Bar Special statements Not intended to be a comprehensive evaluation of how to meet new code requirements Study inspired by impact of code changes on CNC program projects Views expressed do not represent the state of Iowa, code officials, or the utilities directly We are not code officials This study was completed in May 2012
3 Agenda The new code Analysis and results Building type results Summary Conclusion
4 Raising the Bar Code Comparison 2009 IECC (ASHRAE ) change to 2012 IECC (ASHRAE )
5 The New Code Details of updates for ASHRAE Climate zone 5A
6 The New Code Summary of updates for ASHRAE Building envelope roof/wall insulation skylights Heating, ventilation & air conditioning equipment control required equipment required efficiencies Service hot water Power/plug load control Lighting controls automatic daylighting controls lighting design Motor efficiency no change (except metal buildings) major change major change major change major change no changes major change major change major change varies by space type minor change
7 Building Envelope Summary of Changes Design Feature Increased insulation for a metal building Skylights The Change Code level assembly insulation values increased from R-8.8 to R-14.5 for walls and R-15.4 to R-18.2 for roofs Given certain criteria a minimum skylight fenestration area is required
8 Building Envelope A closer look minimum skylight fenestration area A skylight is required in any enclosed space in a building that is four stories or less and: greater than 5,000 sq. ft. directly under a roof with a ceiling height over 15 ft is one of the following spaces: Example 5,000 sq. ft. gymnasium in a two story high school with a ceiling height of 20 feet Skylights required? ASHRAE : NO ASHRAE : YES office lobby Atrium distribution / sorting area convention center nonrefrigerated warehouse or storage automotive service gymnasium / exercise center manufacturing retail concourse transportation workshop
9 HVAC Summary of Changes Design Feature Enclosed parking garage ventilation Multi-zone variable air volume (VAV) system ventilation optimization control The Change CO sensor control will be required for garage ventilation fans appears to require occupancy sensor control of outside air to VAV boxes (further interpretation needed to fully determine impact) Hydronic variable flow systems Exhaust air energy recovery Kitchen/dining facilities Improved DX cooling efficiencies almost all pumping systems to will require variable speed control heat recovery requirements based on percent OA and total supply air (required addition of heat recovery to three of eight buildings studied) require increased control or heat recovery if exhausting more than 5,000 cfm Code level DX cooling efficiencies increased 5%-15% depending on the size and heating type
10 HVAC Summary of Changes (continued) Design Feature Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems Water-to-water heat pumps Chiller performance Computer Room Unit The Change Code level efficiencies have been added. EER: 9.3 to 16.2 COP: 2.05 to 4.2 Code level efficiencies have been added. EER: 10.6 (water source) or 16.3 (groundwater) COP: 3.7 (water source) or 3.1 (groundwater) New emphasis on part-load performance, as well as a Path A and a Path B. Path A: lower full load, higher part load. Path B: higher full load, lower part load Code level efficiencies have been added. Utilizes a Sensible COP (SCOP). Differentiates downflow and upflow units
11 HVAC A closer look exhaust air energy recovery Exhaust air energy recovery required when the following conditions are met: Supply Air CFM Outside Air % > > > > > >0 > 80 Example Air handling system providing 6,000 CFM of supply air, 35% outside air Exhaust air energy recovery required? ASHRAE : NO ASHRAE : YES with at least 50% effectiveness
12 Service Hot Water and Power Summary of Changes Design Feature Service hot water No significant changes The Change Power Automatic plug load control, automatic receptacle control, at least 50% of all 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere, receptacles in private offices, open offices and computer classrooms shall be controlled by an automatic control device
13 Lighting Summary of Changes Design Feature Lighting control Space control Parking garage lighting control Automatic daylighting controls for primary sidelighted areas The Change any automatic control device shall be manual on or only automatically on to 50% all controlled lighting shall have at least one control step between 30% and 70% in addition to all off, dual level switching is required parking garage lighting is required to have automatic control to reduce power of each luminaire by 30% when no activity is detected for 30 minutes when sidelighted area is equal to or exceeds 250 sf, the lamps must be controlled with a photosensor and contain at least one control step that is between 50% and 70% and another to no greater than 35%
14 Lighting Summary of Changes Design Feature Automatic daylighting controls for toplighting Lighting power densities using the space-by-space method Individual lighting power allowances for building exteriors The Change when the daylight area under the skylights or roof monitors exceeds 900 s.f., the lamps must be controlled with a photosensor and contain at least one control step that is between 50% and 70% and another to no greater than 35% reduced lighting power densities for most spaces. Incorporation of room cavity ratio (RCR), which allows for increased lighting power density allowances based on room geometry (unique per building, further study needed) reduced lighting power allowances for most exterior areas
15 Lighting A closer look automatic daylighting (side lighted) When primary sidelighted area in an enclosed space equals or exceeds 250 sf the lamps shall be controlled by at least one multi-level photocontrol. The multilevel photocontrol must reduce electric lighting in response to available light with at least one control step between 50% and 70% and another control step no greater than 35%. Example 100,000 sq. ft. office building with typical open office operation, open office has side lighted space greater than 250 sq. ft. Automatic stepped daylighting control required? ASHRAE : NO ASHRAE : YES two-step control

37 Summary As expected, the new code 2012 IECC (ASHRAE ) raises the bar for a minimally code compliant building Implementation of the new code will reduce building energy usage by approximately 20% on average If the goal is increased energy reduction from current levels, the new energy code accomplishes the goal If the goal is increased energy reduction beyond the new code, additional steps will need to be taken
38 Summary So what does it all mean? It s not just a jumble of numbers and pulling out your hair!
39 Going Beyond Code Start early, consider the energy efficiency implications of decisions made during Pre- Design Massing Orientation Window/wall ratio Investigate several mechanical systems and life-cycle costs What was once cost-prohibitive may no longer be Expand upon the code requirements If the code says automatic daylight control required for 1,000 sf, can the design allow for 2,000 sf? If the code says 50% plug load must be controlled by occupancy sensors, can 75% be controlled? Use resources such as the Commerical New Construction program Continue to explore new technologies and best practices code changes have happened before and the design community always rises to the challenge
