Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings:

Labeling in NM

Tammy Fiebelkorn

Presentation toNM Association of Energy Engineers

Sigler AlbuquerqueDecember 14, 2010

Value of Energy Efficiency Reduced Operating Costs

Reduced Finite Resource Use

Reduced Environmental Impacts

Obstacles to Energy Efficiency NMAEE Members:

Lack of Public Awareness & EducationUp-front Costs

Fits well with SWEEP’s studies and experienceAdd: Change is Scary!

Overcoming Obstacles to EE Government Regulations – “Sticks”

NMAEE Regulations Changes to business practices

NM Examples 2009 NMECC – base requirements for new

commercial buildings SB200 – higher standards for new or

renovated public buildings

Overcoming Obstacles to EE Government Incentives – “Carrots”

NMAEE Financial incentives Preferential tax treatment Utility incentives

NM Examples NM Sustainable Buildings Tax Credit Efficient Use of Energy Act – requires “all

cost effective” DSM programs

Overcoming Obstacles to EE Increasing Awareness

NMAEE Wide variety of ideas

NM Examples 2009 NMECC – statewide training to local

communities Increased marketing of utility programs Energy Use Disclosure – legislation potential

Energy Use Disclosure/Labeling Provides for increased public

awareness Brings EE into the list of issues that

market decisions are based upon Public Support:

In our NMAEE survey: 85% support this concept

Echoed in other surveys and discussions

Labeling BenefitsEnergy transparency in the

market Creating competition based on energy

efficiency will save consumers money and result in more efficient buildings (retrofits, management and behavior)

Labeling Benefits Helps us understand building

performance We know very little about how the 80 billion-

square-foot commercial building stock consumes energy

More building energy knowledge = smarter policies, more effective incentives, better building operations

Long-term goal is data at tenant space, systems and equipment levels

We can’t manage what we aren’t measuring

Labeling Benefits Increases accountability for

building performance “Design-Performance Gap” - Buildings

aren’t being operated as intended Benchmarking will reveal well-operated

vs. underperforming buildings Will help align predicted and actual

performance by creating a feedback loop among architects, engineers, operators and tenants

Labeling - Not a New Concept Labeling is required for many

products

Labeling in the U.S.

NY Labeling Requirements

Enacted in 2009 Most advanced package of energy

efficiency laws for existing buildings in the nation

Requires: Energy Star Benchmarking & Disclosure Water Benchmarking Audits Tenant sub metering Lighting upgrades Code compliance for renovations

DC Labeling Requirements

International Labeling Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

adopted by European Union in 2002 to help meet Kyoto targets

Australia Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act enacted July 2010

Building label in China developed by Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development

Labeling Options Benchmarking the relative energy

performance of buildings and disclosing info to market Asset rating

Measures structural performance Operational rating

Measures actual performance (utility bills)

Labeling Options

Portfolio Manager Operational rating

Most popular commercial building rating tool in nation

“1” to “100” rating compared to peer buildings nationwide

Free, online and nontechnical Not an audit

Normalizes for climate, occupancy, density, plug loads and other factors

Built-in recognition for top achievers

Portfolio Manager

Source: Institute for Market Transformation

NM Legislation Proposal Require disclosure of Portfolio

Manager rating/report All commercial and industrial buildings

Does not include multi-family

NM Legislation Proposal Phase-In Schedule

2012 – 200,000 sq ft and over 2013 – 100,000 sq ft and over 2014 – 5,000 sq ft and over

NM Legislation Proposal Disclosure Trigger:

Upon listing for sale or rent

Yearly disclosure is an option NMAEE Members – 64% prefer yearly

disclosure NY NY Program is an example Potential Drawbacks for NM:

Cost of setting up centralized database and website for reporting

Building owners without plans for rental or sale may not want to have public disclosure

NM Legislation Proposal Utility Role:

Provide usage data for entire buildings All public buildings Commercial buildings upon request from

building owner/operator Data needs to be in a format that allows

importation into Portfolio Manager Building compilation data has to

maintain confidentiality

NM Legislation Proposal Size Requirements:

Small buildings excluded 5,000 sq ft and under

Other options: NMAEE Members

37% = All buildings Drawbacks: too small for software, seen as onerous for “mom

and pops” 27% = 10,000 sq ft 18% = 5,000 sq ft 18% = “Other”

NM Legislation Proposal Public Building Requirements

All public buildings required to disclose their Portfolio Manager rating

Yearly Posted online NMAEE – 92% agree

Public Building Requirements All public buildings required to disclose

their Portfolio Manager rating Yearly Posted online NMAEE – 92% agree

NM Legislative Proposal Legislative support

Bi-partisan appeal

Little to no fiscal impact for state, building owners

Support market decision making

NM Legislative Proposal Community support

#1 Priority for CCAE #1 Priority for EANM Want to add:

energy auditors building owners & managers engineers tenants architects NMAEE and this audience!
