1 Introduction to Energy Codes & Green Building Programs David Neiger B.S. Arch, LEED AP Homes, Certified HERS Rater Principal Populus Sustainable Design Consulting
2 Why green homes?
3 The Building Sector: An Historic Opportunity The total U.S. building stock equals approximately 300 billion square feet. In the U.S. every year, we tear down approximately 1.75 billion square feet of buildings. Every year, we renovate approximately 5 billion square feet. Every year, we build new approximately 5 billion square feet. Herein lies the hope. By the year 2035, approximately three-quarters (75%) of the built environment will be either new or renovated. -- Architecture 2030
4 The Landscape
5 Architecture 2030: The 2030 Challenge Advocacy Organization Calling for Zero Energy Homes by 2030 Founded by architect Ed Mazria Sets Incremental Goals, starting with 50% energy use reduction (from an average home) today the equivalent of a Home Energy Rating System ( HERS ) Index Score of 65 (or 35% more efficient than the 2004 IECC)
6 Architecture 2030: The 2030 Challenge Who s on board? Federal Government: President s Executive Order (implements 2030 standards for all federal buildings) October 2009 Waxman-Markey Climate Bill (House version adopts 2030 standards as national energy code) August 2009 States: Entire States Have Signed On (in the process of setting state minimum energy codes that implement 2030 standards) Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, New Mexico National Governor s Association Cities & Counties: U.S. Conference of Mayors National Association of Counties Many Municipalities Have Signed On (Santa Barbara, Santa Fe ) Organizations: American Institute of Architects Many more private organizations
7 2030 Challenge Sets Realistic Targets for Today - Larger Energy Reduction Goals Over Time Fossil Fuel Reduction Targets 50% Today 60% in % in % in % in 2025 Carbon-neutral in 2030 (using no fossil fuel GHG emitting energy to operate).
8 Energy Efficient Homes: A Winning Strategy for Home Builders
9 ENERGY STAR 2011: Frequently Asked Questions Why are the guidelines changing? Residential energy efficiency is rapidly evolving in the U.S % of states have adopted or are studying the adoption of energy codes more stringent than the 2006 IECC, and many significant new requirements were adopted in the 2009 IECC. Furthermore, the current over-supply of housing stock in the marketplace reinforces the need for ENERGY STAR qualified homes to stand out from the competition. EPA is developing new guidelines to help ensure that ENERGY STAR continues to deliver homes that are high-quality and meaningfully more efficient than standard new construction. More rigorous guidelines will strengthen the integrity and value of the ENERGY STAR label, thereby increasing the success of raters and builders partnerships with ENERGY STAR.
10 Architecture 2030 Fact Sheet Since June 2006, over 60,000 new homes have been designed, built, and certified to meet a minimum 50% energy reduction below the baseline energy code for heating and cooling. (RESNET)
11 Architecture 2030 Fact Sheet Studies by the Department of Energy s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) illustrate that meeting a 30% residential energy consumption reduction target below the baseline energy code will save households in every region of the U.S. between $403 and $612 per year after the cost of efficiency measures is factored in. (DOE)
12 Architecture 2030 Fact Sheet At current energy prices and mortgage interest rates, NREL estimates that the average costneutral point for home efficiency upgrades is a 45% energy reduction below the baseline residential energy code. (NREL)

21 HERS Rating: Quality Assurance Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) National Home Energy Rating Standards Quality Assurance Regional Providers Throughout Country Raters Must be Trained, Pass Exam, Meet Continuing Education Requirements Self-Contained System Allows Low-Cost Adoption of Performance-Based Energy Standards
22 Point-Based?
23 LEED for Homes
24 Boulder Green Points
25 Green Building Codes Same considerations as green building certification programs (prescriptive vs. performance, etc ) Some incorporate existing certification programs (i.e. LEED for Homes) as alternative path or compliance pathway Accountability forms
26 Green Building Code Features CODE FOCUS? PRESRIPTIVE or PERFORMANCE? HOME ENERGY RATING (HERS)? THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION? POINT- BASED? IECC Energy Both Optional Optional (mandatory for 2009) No Boulder Green Points Holistic Both Yes Yes Yes Boulder County BuildSmart Energy, Construction Waste Recycling Performance Yes Yes No Aspen & Pitkin County Colorado Energy Both Optional Optional No
27 Green Building Code Focus Many target energy as primary goal Some address best green building practices indoor air quality and ventilation become larger concerns when homes are built with less air leakage ( tighter construction) Municipal resources / staff time are a big consideration energy codes that rely upon the HERS system require very little staff time compared to more holistic green home codes

31 SECTION 404 SIMULATED PERFORMANCE ALTERNATIVE (Performance) Scope. This section establishes criteria for compliance using simulated energy performance analysis. Such analysis shall include heating, cooling, and service water heating energy only Mandatory requirements. Compliance with this Section requires that the criteria of Sections 401, 402.4, 402.5, and 403 be met Performance-based compliance. Compliance based on simulated energy performance requires that a proposed residence (proposed design) be shown to have an annual energy cost that is less than or equal to the annual energy cost of the standard reference design. Energy prices shall be taken from a source approved by the code official, such as the Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration s State Energy Price and Expenditure Report. Code officials shall be permitted to require time-of-use pricing in energy cost calculations International Energy Conservation Code
32 Energy Codes & HERS Rating Considerations when setting energy performance standards: Address low-hanging fruit only? (shorter payback) Deep energy reduction? Some standards typically require renewable energy or heat pump to reach (below HERS 60) Sliding scale depending on home size? Outside energy usage snow melt systems, hot tubs (not in HERS Rating, some jurisdictions require 100% offset or REMP)
33 Exterior Energy Uses Snowmelt Systems: where snowmelt is provided by an ENERGY STAR boiler: 1 sq. ft. heated drive = 1 sq. ft. total home energy consumption Hot Tubs: for hot tubs of average efficiency: 100 sq. ft. hot tub = 1,200 sq. ft. home
34 Many builders already building to this standard: requires best practices for insulation and framing, efficient heating systems, proper ventilation, ENERGY STAR appliances & windows, efficient lighting Does not require renewable energy systems
35 Implementing Above Code Performance with HERS Rating From-Plans HERS Rating for Permit (depending on threshold, may require consulting to reach) Insulation inspection by HERS Rater (Thermal Bypass Inspection) Final Inspection by HERS Rater (blower door testing, confirm energy features from initial energy model) Issue Final HERS Rating Certificate for Certificate of Occupancy
36 Energy Codes & Job Creation Home Energy Raters / Consultants Energy Auditors (spurs existing home retrofits / weatherization, window replacement, insulation, airsealing) HVAC / Mechanical Contractors creates market for new products, learn new skills Contractors learn new skills, more competitive Solar Thermal / PV industry growth Insulation Contractors better quality from third-party inspections Market innovation creates incentive for local companies to innovate
37 Points-Based Green Building Codes Requires additional administration Provides greater flexibility choose which points to pursue Boulder Green Points integrates other green building programs EPA s Indoor airplus program earns you Green Points LEED for Homes Silver Certification exempts you from Green Points process
