RMI Deep Retrofit Needs Assessment
    1. Financing: none available
    2. Risk/litigation: never done it before; don’t want to reduce
       installed cooling capacity, don’t want to force on tenants, etc.
    3. Business case: rapid building turnover; more compelling
       alternative investments, etc. Value of energy efficiency
    4. First cost: cost of technologies and of services, etc.
    5. Split incentives: tenant/landlord; costs of sub-metering, etc.
    6. Retrofit process: time-consuming phases; non-standardized
       analysis/audit procedures; difficult to engage all stakeholders
    7. Design: few capable engineers; cream-skimming habits; no
       incentives to maximize savings, etc.
    8. Awareness and demand: uncertain tenant demand for
       energy efficiency, etc.

Why did we find mostly “Renewals”*
   * “renewals”, “major renovations”, “whole building upgrades” all denote that the building had significant
   changes to the interior, structure and/or activity type in addition to efficiency measure improvements.


              – Real Estate Industry is Repositioning Assets
              – Improving existing buildings is the best value now
              – Where deepest savings are more likely to occur
              – More public and ‘green firms’ continuing to
                renovate buildings during the economic downturn
              – Larger scopes are more likely to be documented
              – Single measure or ‘shallow’ retrofits are less likely
                to be found in a search (more contractor driven)

Digging into buildings and data
      • Best of Best – advanced mechanical, daylighting,
        advanced controls, natural ventilation plus pay
        attention
      • Worst of Best – usually no clue that building not
        performing, mostly operational issues, occasionally
        design or construction; Cx post occupancy should fix
        most
      • Ongoing measured performance of buildings is critical
              – Metering and monitoring

Cross-Cutting Themes
    • Integrated design is more critical to the development of
      low/zero-energy buildings than is any given technology.
    • Moving beyond design and construction into operations, plug
      loads, process energy and other “unregulated loads” is a
      critical step.
    • There is need for a consistent, long-term metric to measure
      the performance of buildings and policy, such as the Zero
      Energy Performance Index (zEPI).
    • More measured performance data at the case-study level,
      and at the system level to support owner and private
      financing.

How to move existing buildings
                                 • Create and support innovative
                                   technical solution sets that build
                                   on the strengths of existing
                                   buildings.
                                 • Critical need for new financial
                                   tools that can support deep
                                   savings (40% to 60%)
                                 • Move from widget based efforts to
                                   integrated system based efforts
                                   with enhanced controls.
                                 • Provide like examples of projects.

Risk/litigation: never done it before; don’t want to reduce installed cooling capacity, don’t want to force on tenants, etc. 3. Business case: rapid building turnover; more compelling alternative investments, etc. Value of energy efficiency 4. First cost: cost of technologies and of services, etc. 5. Split incentives: tenant/landlord; costs of sub-metering, etc. 6. Retrofit process: time-consuming phases; non-standardized analysis/audit procedures; difficult to engage all stakeholders 7. Design: few capable engineers; cream-skimming habits; no incentives to maximize savings, etc. 8.

  • 65. Why did we find mostly “Renewals”* * “renewals”, “major renovations”, “whole building upgrades” all denote that the building had significant changes to the interior, structure and/or activity type in addition to efficiency measure improvements. – Real Estate Industry is Repositioning Assets – Improving existing buildings is the best value now – Where deepest savings are more likely to occur – More public and ‘green firms’ continuing to renovate buildings during the economic downturn – Larger scopes are more likely to be documented – Single measure or ‘shallow’ retrofits are less likely to be found in a search (more contractor driven) Deep Savings Webinar 6/30/2011
  • 66. Digging into buildings and data • Best of Best – advanced mechanical, daylighting, advanced controls, natural ventilation plus pay attention • Worst of Best – usually no clue that building not performing, mostly operational issues, occasionally design or construction; Cx post occupancy should fix most • Ongoing measured performance of buildings is critical – Metering and monitoring Deep Savings Webinar 6/30/2011
  • 67. Cross-Cutting Themes • Integrated design is more critical to the development of low/zero-energy buildings than is any given technology. • Moving beyond design and construction into operations, plug loads, process energy and other “unregulated loads” is a critical step. • There is need for a consistent, long-term metric to measure the performance of buildings and policy, such as the Zero Energy Performance Index (zEPI). • More measured performance data at the case-study level, and at the system level to support owner and private financing.
