Overview of State

Energy Offices

(SEOs):

56 Governor-designated State and Territory

Energy Offices (SEOs) nationwide.

States spur energy-related economic

development, minimize the environmental

impact of growth, crafting energy solutions

that address their citizens' needs and

increase our national energy security.

Funding for programs under the direction of

the governors or legislatures, as well as

federal appropriations for the cost-shared

U.S. State Energy Program.

SEOs invest $4 billion of their own funds

derived from appropriations, bonding, and

system benefit charges each year.

NASEO represents all 56 SEOs, and is

organized around seven regions with

coordinators that aid State and Local

governments in sharing lessons learned.

Reviewed current landscape of activity and needs in ZEB across 13 different topics

Themes include:

Importance of integrated design

Need to address and minimize plug loads

Knowledge and analysis gaps in looking at system interactions and multi-building interactions

Connecting post-occupancy performance and energy management

Improved sharing of information, cost data, and performance data

Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update

A look at the features and costs

of zero energy buildings

Webinar presented on April 26, 2012

The Nature of Our Work

Page 11: Getting to Zero Webinar - New Buildings Institutenewbuildings.org/sites/default/files/Getting_to_Zero_Preso_042612... · Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update A ... provision of practical

ZEBs STUDY SCOPE

• Looked at:

– Size and source of available quality data

– Energy Efficiency Measures

– Incremental costs

– Estimated incremental costs from

model-based studies

– State policies and program support

Page 12: Getting to Zero Webinar - New Buildings Institutenewbuildings.org/sites/default/files/Getting_to_Zero_Preso_042612... · Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update A ... provision of practical

ZEBs STUDY SCOPE

• Net Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs) – Buildings with measured results and a few modeled

buildings; meet annual needs with on-site renewables

• Zero Energy Capable Buildings (ZEC’s) – Demonstrated efficiency in range of ZEB’s but w/no

renewables

• Zero Energy Equivalent Buildings – Low-energy building that gets (investment grade)

renewable energy from off-site, either the grid or a shared renewable generator.

Page 13: Getting to Zero Webinar - New Buildings Institutenewbuildings.org/sites/default/files/Getting_to_Zero_Preso_042612... · Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update A ... provision of practical

WHAT WE FOUND

• 21 buildings had sufficient data to call them ZEBs

• 39 buildings are recently constructed or in process with ZEB intentions

• 39 buildings are ZECs – Zero Energy Capable efficiency levels

•Always looking for more - there may be many more ZECs

Page 14: Getting to Zero Webinar - New Buildings Institutenewbuildings.org/sites/default/files/Getting_to_Zero_Preso_042612... · Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update A ... provision of practical

What We Found: Built Examples

All buildings use PVs to generate

on-site renewable energy

Buildings use readily available

tech. and integrated design

Unique or experimental systems

are infrequently used

Priority attention to E.E. details

include minimizing plug loads

and other “unregulated” loads

What We Found

Vast majority of NZE buildings are small or very small

Beginning to see buildings supported by program efforts

– i.e. Living Buildings, Energy Trust of Oregon, Savings

by Design

Earliest are academic buildings, environmental centers,

or demonstration buildings with low occupancy

More recent include office buildings, K-8 schools, a

credit union, and buildings that represent a large

number of average buildings

Page 18: Getting to Zero Webinar - New Buildings Institutenewbuildings.org/sites/default/files/Getting_to_Zero_Preso_042612... · Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update A ... provision of practical

MEASURING THE COST OF ZEBs

Difficult to isolate cost of individual measures

– Deep energy savings require IDP that considers

interaction of measures.

– Incremental cost must be based on a hypothetical

comparison to “what would have been built”

– Even when attempts at costs and savings are made,

changes are often not tracked through many revisions

– Building costs vary by climate, location and date of

construction

– Good data on a few projects, but hard to generalize

Key Policy and Program Recommendations - ZECBC

• “… high levels of energy efficiency are the first,

largest and most important step on the way to

net-zero.”

• “Net-zero-energy buildings create a catalyst to

stimulate the thinking and actions required, even

if near-term needs are more related to

establishing key fundamentals that allow the

energy efficiency market to progress...”

• “There is need for a consistent, long-term metric

to measure the performance of buildings and

policy.”

Page 23: Getting to Zero Webinar - New Buildings Institutenewbuildings.org/sites/default/files/Getting_to_Zero_Preso_042612... · Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update A ... provision of practical

Key Policy and Program Recommendations - ZECBC

• “The move to a zero-energy building stock will

likely require a series of major shifts in the

structure of codes, both in the presentation of

code requirements and in ensuring compliance.”

• “More measured performance data is needed at

the case-study level, the system level (e.g.,

lighting vs. plug loads) and to support owner and

private financing.”

• “There needs to be aggressive financial

incentives to achieve net-zero-energy building

goals.”

California ZNE Action Plan: Priorities Survey

• Focus more on existing buildings than on

new construction.

• California is on the right track with policy,

leadership is needed in other critical areas

-- Path to Zero Campaign, financing, incentives

• More support needed for implementation

efforts, tools and resources

– Case studies, implementation guides,

recognition programs and communications

Study Conclusions

• Examples are expanding and are more representative.

A “second generation” of more typical building types

and ownership patterns is emerging.

• More about integrated design than technology

innovation

• Built ZEBs examples too limited, diverse to conclude

much on costs

• EE needed is readily available at reasonably

incremental cost for some building types

- Incremental costs for common building types ranged from 3%

to 18% depending on building type, location cost factors and

climate (not including PVs)

Page 26: Getting to Zero Webinar - New Buildings Institutenewbuildings.org/sites/default/files/Getting_to_Zero_Preso_042612... · Getting to Zero: 2012 Status Update A ... provision of practical

Recommendations

• ZEBs and ZECs can advance more rapidly with

provision of practical guidance and support

- Clear conditions where ZEB’s are most feasible

(anticipated loads, climate)

- Case Studies Needed - techniques used, results, and

lessons learned with varying climates, building types

- Need better studies of costs/benefits - both initial design

and construction costs and ongoing energy costs savings

- Policy advances at the state and local level can

support the movement to ZEBs and ZECs –

setting a pathway to guide action.

• Great example of how common building

forms can be adapted to function NZE

office spaces

• New skylights, high performance

windows, and increased insulation

• Radiant heating system coupled with

ground source heat pump and

displacement ventilation

IDeAs Z2 Case Study

• Placed extra attention on minimizing

plug loads (both through selection

of equipment and controls)

• Controlled lighting with occupancy

and photosensors

IDeAs Z2 Case Study

• Employed custom control sequence to shut off

specified circuits when security system is armed

eliminates phantom loads and ensures equipment is off

at night

• Cost premium: 7% of the renovation construction costs

for energy efficiency related upgrades
