Overview of ENERGY STAR forMultifamily High Rise
Requirements
Agenda
• Development of the MFHR Requirements• Role of the ENERGY STAR MFHR Developer
Partner• Role of the Licensed Professional• Earning the ENERGY STAR for MFHR Buildings
– Performance Path– Prescriptive Path– Submittal Requirements
2
Development of MFHR Requirements
Multifamily High-Rise vs. Other Residential Buildings
4
The Reference Standard
ASHRAE 90.1-2007•Minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of high-rise multifamily buildings
Appendix G•Protocols for generating an energy performance rating for buildings that exceed the requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2007
Program Standard•LEED Mid-Rise•Enterprise Green Communities
5
Technical Requirements Developed
• Set Energy Performance Target for achieving ENERGY STAR
• Developed modeling guidelines
• Developed testing and verification protocols
• Developed tools to facilitate program participation

Participant Roles and Expectations
9
ENERGY STAR MFHR Developer Partner
• Partner with ENERGY STAR
• Submit MFHR Project Application for each building/project
• Engage a licensed professional to validate submitted documents
• Commit to benchmarking building in Portfolio Manager
10
Role of Licensed Professional
• Work with project design team• Coordinate modeling of Baseline and Proposed
building OR guide design team through Prescriptive Path requirements
• Validate plan review to ensure final design meets requirements and necessary details are included in bid specifications
• Validate on-site inspections during construction to ensure measures are installed as specified
• Submit required documentation to EPA
Earning the ENERGY STAR
Pathways to ENERGY STAR

Common Requirements for Performance and Prescriptive
Paths
14
Meeting the Prerequisites
Testing and Verification Protocols
• Mandatory requirements for the inspection, testing and verification of components related to the building’s energy performance.
• The intent of the protocols is to verify that – the construction documents & final building include all
Prerequisites.– measures used to achieve the Performance levels predicted
by the model have been installed and perform as modeled.– all measures specified by the Prescriptive Path have been
installed.
• Changes to the initial design noted during inspections must be reflected in a revised model and submitted as the As-Built model.
15
Testing and Verification Worksheets
• Mandatory Excel-based worksheets that document the results of plan reviews, inspections, verification, and performance testing.
– Provide inspection worksheets that can be used in the field that follow the Testing and Verification Protocols, but are organized for the convenience of the site inspector.
– Provide a central file to store building information relevant to all members of the design team: architect, energy modeler, site inspector, project manager, plan reviewer, etc.
– Must be submitted once prior to construction to document results of the plan review and once after construction is complete, to document the results of testing and verification.
16
Photo Template
• This Word-based template was designed so that pictures used to provide photo-documentation required by the T&V Protocols could be easily formatted and consistently reported.
• Photo documentation must be submitted to EPA at the end of construction as part of the As-Built Submittal
• The Photo Template need only be submitted for the licensed professional’s first three buildings that participate in the Program.
17
Performance Path
Performance Path Requirements
• Meet program Prerequisites
• Meet Performance Target– 15% better than ASHRAE 90.1-
2007 as defined by Appendix G and Simulation Guidelines
• Third-party verification and performance testing throughout construction
• Commit to Benchmarking in Portfolio Manager for at least two years
19

Post Construction
Prescriptive Path
Prescriptive Path Requirements
• Install climate specific prescriptive requirements that meet or exceed Prerequisites– Approximately equivalent to
15% better than ASHRAE 90.1-2007, but no modeling
• Third-party verification and performance testing throughout construction
• Commit to benchmarking in Portfolio Manager for at least two years
