Design is how it works
A lot of cost effective energy efficiency is available

Deep EnergyRetrofits….
Achieve 50% or more reduction in energy use – Large energy savings
Capture all cost effective energy savings – improved project economics
Provide value beyond energy cost savings (VBECS)
Drive long-term improvement in the building stock to enable a modern, renewables-based electricity system

Trade Secrets for Cost Effective Deep Retrofits
1. Pursue the right steps in the right order2. Right-time the retrofit3. Define a business-as-usual baseline to account for avoided
capital costs4. Bundle measures5. Quantify the value beyond energy cost savings

Strategic Energy Analysis
Bundling Parallel Paths
“We can do some of the measures in all of the buildings, and we can do all of the measures in some of the buildings.” – Blake
Herrschaft, RMI Engineer
Crafting a Building Portfolio Efficiency Strategy
• Leave No Building Behind
• Vaccination • Deep Retrofits /
Disposition• Innovation • New Construction• Renewable Energy
• Policies• Energy Measures• Building Projects• Financing
• GET THE DATA!• Portfolio Types:
• Similar Buildings
• Unique Buildings
• Collocated buildings
![Page 12: NZC - Olgyay Scaling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a39d5b4c905293a8b4959/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS PROCESS
• Divide into subsets by type, size, etc. • Collect additional data, confirm general conditions, perform select
investigations, establish technical potential• Perform high-level portfolio assessment• Identify type and size of opportunity• Utilize low-cost workflow analysis tools; develop implementation options• Create plan to implement options to meet economic and energy targets• Carry out strategic plan; verify, modify, communicate success

A VARIETY OF APPROACHES FOR DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES
• Leave No Building Behind
• Vaccination
• Deep Retrofits / Disposition
• Innovation
• New Construction
• Renewable Energy
What policies/processes help or hinder deep energy efficiency?
Which primary EMs can I implement for broad replication and deepest savings?
When should I schedule deep retrofits and how do portfolio transactions affect
that?
How will next generation technologies change my strategy over time?
What goals should we set for new construction?
Can we achieve net zero carbon through renewable energy? Why not do all
renewable and call it done?

• downsizing or eliminating mechanical and other systems - and therefore avoiding capital costs
• allowing for more cost-effective measures to “finance” measures that that provide value beyond energy cost savings (VBECS)

AT&T Administrative Buildings:• Currently use the same amount of energy as 10 Empire State
Buildings• Emit 0.15% of the total US office buildings carbon emissions. • Can save $6.2 million annually for a 16% IRR over 5 years.• Can achieve 38% energy cost savings from 2008 levels.• Portfolio wide these strategies would produce $25 million annual

ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY CAN ROADMAP(CURRENT 2012 - 2025)ElectricityHow do we design a connected system that allows a community or campus to find balance?
Facility ManagementHow can facility managers radically reduce energy and water consumption for the long term within the bounds of a limited budget?
TransportationHow do we get people excited about not driving cars?
PedagogyWhat does an integrative curriculum look like across campus? How can a university foster innovation from within?
Institutional PolicyWhat stands in the way of achievement, and how can barriers be overcome to enable transformational progress?

BUILD THE INVESTMENT CASE BY INTEGRATING WITH CORE BUSINESS VALUES..
Values beyond energy cost savings - (VBECS)
![Page 27: NZC - Olgyay Scaling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a39d5b4c905293a8b4959/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
VALUES BEYOND ENERGY COST SAVINGS
Graphic from “The Economics of Biophilia,” Terrapin Bright Green LLC, 2012
![Page 28: NZC - Olgyay Scaling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a39d5b4c905293a8b4959/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
VBECS: HOW DEEP RETROFITS CREATE VALUE
1. Reduced energy operating costs and carbon emissions
2. New equipment with longer lifetimes & less maintenance
3. A more attractive and comfortable (thermally, visually, etc) working space with better indoor air quality and connection to the outdoors
4. Sustainability/green building ratings or certifications
5. Higher occupant awareness of building performance
Value This value is created through…
Reduction in Costs
Lower utility costs Lower costs to maintain & replace equip. Lower health cost (absenteeism, health care) Lower employee recruiting and churn costs
Revenue Growth
Higher occupancy rates Higher rents Increased employee productivity Improved marketing & sales
Improved Reputation and Leadership
Recruiting best employees or tenants Employee/tenant satisfaction and retention Public relations/brand management Retain “social license” to operate
Compliance with Internal & External Policies & Initiatives
Meeting the needs of Corporate Social Responsibility, Carbon Disclosure Project, etc
Meeting responsible investment fund requirements Meeting Securities & Exchange Commission needs
Reduced Risk to Future Earnings
Reduced risk to reputation Limit exposure to energy/water price volatility Overall reduced potential loss of value due to
functional obsolescence Reduced legal risks – sick building syndrome, mold
claims, etc
DEEP RETROFITS RESULT IN:
