Initial Benchmark in 2005 Sent email out to Green Schools

listserv Used UC Berkeley, Colorado

State, and Bard College Gyms21 data set

Received 15 complete data sets Numerous calls with USGBC/GBCI Provided 3 LEED points for the

project

Gyms21 Development

+Gyms21 Success!

+ Energy Benchmarking in EBOM- Meter Data

- 12 month period

- All energy consumption

- Apples to Apples!

+ Energy Benchmarking in EBOM- Three Standard Compliance Paths

1. Energy Star

2. CBECS

3a. Historic Baseline

3b. Comparable Building Dataset

+ Energy Benchmarking in EBOM

- Thinking About ‘Comparable Buildings’

a. Can your building be deconstructed?

b. Where might analogues exist?

c. How do those analogues differ?

d. Can I get data?

e. Can I normalize/adjust for differences?

+ Gyms21 - Energy Benchmarking

- The model: Labs21

a. Energy use intensity for laboratories

b. Accounts for a variety of complex variables

- lab type, climate, operating hours, LAR

c. Can we do the same for University Rec Centers?

+ Gyms21 - Energy Benchmarking

- Collaboration with USGBC

a. In principle, EBOM is for all building types

b. USGBC/GBCI motivated to solve these problems and accommodate solutions

c. Universities are a huge and important market sector

+ Gyms21 - Energy Benchmarking

- Collaboration with UC & CSU campuses

a. Who has rec centers?

b. Who has energy data?

c. Who needs to benchmark buildings?

USEPA/DOE Energy Star Portfolio Manager

created ‘Gyms21 Portfolio’ and gave access to all participants

input all data from data collection forms

site and source EUIs calculated for all buildings in dataset

benchmarking datasets easily selectable from 15 included buildings

generate Statement of Energy Performance for each facility – basis of LEED EB:OM submittal

Statement of Energy Performance - UCSB

Statement of Energy Performance - UCSD

Statement of Energy Performance - SDSU

Gyms21 Areas for Improvement

additional years of complete data needed

normalization based on pool parameters

central plant efficiencies mostly default-calculated
