Better Buildings Challenge

Launched December 2011 Goals: Make commercial, industrial buildings &

multifamily housing 20%+ more efficient in 10 years

Save more than $80B+ for US organizations Create American jobs; improve energy

security Mitigate impacts of climate change How: Leadership Results Transparency Best Practice Models Recognition Catalyzing Action

How do we Decide what to Focus On?

The Prioritization Tool: “P-TOOL” based on the following criteria:

Unit savings National technical potential Deployment readiness level Stakeholder interest Other program efforts Potential manufacturing capacity Cost effectiveness Cost reduction potential

• RTUs cool over 60% of U.S. commercial building floor area • Consume 4.3 Quads annually • Large stock of 10 to 20 year old RTUs

Why Are RTUs Important?

Advanced RTU Campaign: ARC

Began with an RTU CHALLENGE

Campaign Launched May 30, 2013

Runs through 2015 Promote high-efficiency

ARC Progress: Unit Count

Total RTUs = 33,175 2013 and 2014

12

ARC Resources: RTU Evaluation

Gather Information (www.advancedrtu.org) Initial RTU Inventory: RTU Inventory Spreadsheet

Preliminary Screening: Bin RTUs for retrofit, replacement, or no action

Detailed Inventory: RTU Inventory Spreadsheet

Visual-Based Field Evaluation: RTU Field Evaluation Checklist Analyze Analysis: make the business case and prioritize actions. RTU Incentives

Database, RTU Comparison Calculator, 179D DOE Calculator, RTU Sizing Guidance, and ARC Case Studies

Plan Project Planning: See the list of ARC Supporting Partners

Take Action Procurement: Procurement Specifications for guidance Measurement and Verification (M&V): Use the M&V Guidance

ARC Market Challenges

Ventilation interacts with building envelope … like pulling on a loose string. Significant cost and effort (analysis, planning)

Low priority for tenants (Proactive replacements) Best case scenario: no one notices “Out of sight out of mind”

Weather affects ROI Makes demonstrating financial results difficult Out of your hands

Not a lot of utility incentives ARC is simplifying that process Coordinating with CEE

14

Interior Lighting Campaign (ILC) High Efficiency Troffer Lighting with Controls

15

Launching at 2015 Better Buildings Summit Goal to replace 100,000 standard troffers with high

efficiency troffers by May 2016 Represents about 6.7 million kWh savings

Resources to include: a specification troffers utility incentives database product lists technical reports case studies free technical assistance.

Why A Campaign? Why Troffers?

Because science (and math)
