1 ENERGY STAR Benchmarking with EPA s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Bob Sauchelli, U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR Peter Flippen, ICF International June 9, 2010 Agenda Overview of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager: Live Demonstration and Benchmarking Examples

2 What is ENERGY STAR? EPA voluntary climate protection partnership with energy users and service and product providers Strategic approach to energy management, promoting energy efficient products and practices Helps organizations measure, track and improve energy performance Helps organizations save energy and money and protect the environment Brand recognition - 75% of Americans ENERGY STAR Buildings Program: Success by the Numbers Over the past decade, through 2009: 140,000 buildings measured energy performance 5,000 organizations joined as partners 10,000 buildings earned the ENERGY STAR across 50 states Prevent GHG emissions equal to the electricity use of 60 million American homes every year

3 Program Growth Cumulative Floor Space of Rated Buildings 16,000 14,724 14,000 12,000 11,664 Millions of Square Feet 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 3,268 3,844 4,598 5,090 7,776 2,536 2,000 1, Program Growth Cumulative Number of Labeled Buildings , Number of Buildings ,075 1,387 1,964 2,585 3,226 4,056 6,

4 Energy Efficient Buildings A Market Differentiator Commercial Real Estate properties that earn the ENERGY STAR label: Save $.50 sq/ft (on average) Consume 35% less energy AND Savings persist over time Occupancy/tenant retention is higher Savings leveraged into higher asset value upon disposition Katz, 2005 Kats & Perlman, 2006 Strategic Approach to Energy Management A roadmap to help organizations Assess energy performance Set reduction goals Track savings over time Reward improvements 8

5 What is Portfolio Manager Free, online, benchmarking tool for existing buildings Whole-building ACTUAL Energy Performance Score Measures and Tracks energy intensity, cost, emissions Normalizes for weather, operating hours, occupant density, plug load Easy to understand 1 to 100 score Provides ENERGY STAR Label for Buildings Portfolio Manager Benchmarking Is 60 MPG high or low for this automobile? Is 90 kbtu/sf/yr high or low for this building? Fuel Efficiency: MPG Energy Performance Rating: 1 to 100

6 User-Friendly Inputs Examples ENERGY STAR Score Eligible Building Types Bank/Financial Institutions Courthouses Data Centers Dormitories Hospitals Hotels Houses of Worship K-12 Schools Medical Offices Office Buildings Retail Stores Supermarkets Warehouses Wastewater Treatment Plants

7 Why EPA s Portfolio Manager? Must Meet Legislative Requirements Local Law 0476, part of the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan, requires public and private buildings in NYC to benchmark Free simple analytical tool Web-based, no cost, easily understood, scale Industry standard More than 140,000 commercial and institutional buildings benchmarked in Portfolio Manager Over 10,000 buildings receiving a label Symbol of superior energy performance Recognized by 75% of Americans Benefits of Portfolio Manager Help clients meet regulatory requirements Conduct low cost pre-audits of building energy use Identify opportunities for improvement Set priorities, goals for upgrades Documents energy, financial, GHG emissions improvements Gain Valuable Recognition for Clients

8 Document and Communicate Improvements ENERGY STAR Label for Commercial Buildings National recognition for top energy performance of commercial buildings. Over 10,000 buildings have earned the ENERGY STAR to date. National Average Superior Energy Management! Percentile of Commercial Building Population in terms of Energy Performance

9 Earn Recognition for Superior and Improved Energy Performance ENERGY STAR Leaders for portfolio-wide improvements Benchmark portfolio of buildings Show improvement of 10%, 20%, 30%, etc. Average portfolio score of 75 or higher Benchmarking Examples: Office and Multifamily

10 Office Space Type Definition Facility spaces used for general office, professional, and administrative purposes Total gross floor area includes all supporting functions such as staff kitchens, lobbies, atria, conference rooms, auditoria, staff fitness areas, storage areas, stairways, elevator shafts, etc. Office Space Inputs Gross floor area Weekly operating hours Number of workers on main shift Number of personal computers Percent of gross floor area that is air conditioned Percent of gross floor area that is heated

11 General Guidelines for Benchmarking an Office Building Enter as much of the building square footage as possible under a single space entry All supporting building functions are captured within the office benchmarking model Only separate building into multiple spaces to describe the operations of the facility Tenants with weekly operating hours that are significantly different Computer data center Retail space serving the general public not just employees (e.g., restaurant, retail store with exterior entrance) Approach for Vacant Space If vacant space averages more than 10% of the building floor area over the past 12 months, vacant space must be input in Portfolio Manager as a separate Office space. For the vacant space, use the following operating characteristics: Weekly Operating Hours = 0 Workers on Main Shift = 0 Number of PCs = 0 Percent Heated and Percent Cooled = Report conditioning as it occurs in the vacant space NOTE: Space that is leased but unoccupied is also considered to be vacant

12 Additional Space Types Used in Benchmarking Office Buildings Parking If energy consumption is tracked on the main building meter and cannot be excluded from the energy consumption of the office building If parking area energy is being separately metered, do not account for energy consumption or parking square footage when benchmarking Other For space types that do not have their own rating model (e.g., laboratory space; restaurant on ground floor) Must be less than 10% of total square footage for building to be eligible for a rating New Data Center Rating New ENERGY STAR performance scale for Data Center ENERGY STAR score is for spaces specifically designed and equipped for high density computing (server racks, data storage silos, etc) Typically facilities with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Usually have dedicated cooling systems Applicable for free standing data centers and larger buildings with data centers Is not for computer training classroom and closet with LAN server

13 New Data Center Rating How is an ENERGY STAR score computed? Total Energy/IT Energy Total energy is from utility bills IT Energy More complex wide variety of equipment and metering configurations ENERGY STAR selected the measure that is most commonly available (easiest) to maintain broad applicability Model requires IT energy at the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) output Tool accepts many alternate IT metering scenarios if UPS output is not available Energy for all non IT equipment use, including HVAC, lighting, and plug loads Energy into building, from all fuel sources Data Center Building master meter(s) UPS PDUs Server Racks & Storage Devices

14 Energy for all non IT equipment use, including HVAC, lighting, and plug loads Energy into building, from all fuel sources Data Center UPS output meter Building master meter(s) UPS PDUs Server Racks & Storage Devices Energy for all non IT equipment use, including HVAC, lighting, and plug loads Energy into building, from all fuel sources Data Center UPS output meter Non IT equipment for the data center, such as cooling systems and lighting. Submeter Building master meter(s) UPS PDUs Server Racks & Storage Devices

15 Data Center Inputs Floor Area IT Energy Configuration (dropdown menu) Assess how the Uninterruptible power supply is used and determines how IT Energy must be entered Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) supports only IT Equipment (preferred) UPS includes non-it load of 10% or less UPS includes non-it load greater than 10%. Non-IT load is sub-metered. UPS includes non-it load of greater than 10%. Non-IT load is not sub-metered. Facility has no UPS IT Energy is not metered Apply Estimates Data Center Inputs IT Energy Configuration (continued) IT Meter requirements display based on IT Energy Configuration Meter required at either the UPS Output or PDU Input Many users may need to install new energy meters for IT Last option is to apply estimates Intended for buildings with no IT meter Only permitted for 2 years (until June 2012), after which IT energy measurements are required Can only be applied to buildings with data centers whose square foot is less than 10% of the total energy Are permitted for label applications (until June 2012)

16 Sample Office Building Computer Data Centers 30,000 sf Building 400,000 sf After Hours HVAC 130,000 sf Parking 100,000 sf Multifamily Space Type Definition Residential building equal to or larger than 2 units Includes all square footage in the residential units, common areas, and unconditioned space (boiler room) Occupants of Multifamily housing can include tenants, cooperators, and/or individual owners.

17 Multifamily Space Inputs Information required: Zip Code, Gross floor area Optional space attributes: Number of units Total number of bedrooms Number of floors Percent of square footage devoted to common space Number of laundry hookups in apartments Number of common area laundry hookups Number of dishwashers Percent heated Percent cooled Market Rate or Affordable Housing Multifamily Benchmarking Portfolio Manager users encouraged to enter data into optional fields to help with potential development of comparative energy performance metrics Multifamily unable to receive a rating or national average EUI Space types can be combined with multifamily parking, retail, or restaurant (as Other)
