To the New England Restructuring Roundtable RAISING THE BAR ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY: BUILDING ENERGY CODES, APPLIANCE STANDARDS AND BUILDING ENERGY RATING Presented by JIM O’REILLY June 18, 2010 To the New England Restructuring Roundtable

NORTHEAST ENERGY EFFICIENCY PARTNERSHIPS “Accelerating Energy Efficiency” MISSION Accelerate the efficient use of energy in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Regions APPROACH Overcome barriers to efficiency through Collaboration, Education & Advocacy VISION Transform the way we think about and use energy in the world around us.

CODES/STANDARDS BECOMING A PRIORITY AGGRESSIVE NEW GOALS BEING SET IN STATES IDENTIFIED NEED TO GO BROADER, DEEPER CODES EMPHASIZED IN FEDERAL STIMULUS (ARRA), STANDARDS BY THE NEW ADMINISTRATION CODES/STANDARDS BECOMING PART OF SBC PROGRAMS (MASS, CT) COMPLEMENT EE PROGRAMS

Programs Build Market Acceptance Efficiency PROGRAMS SUPPORT CODES AND STANDARDS APPLIANCE STANDARDS BUILDING ENERGY CODES Federal Considers State Standards Federal Standards Preempt States Programs Build Market Acceptance States Adopt Appliance Standards Consumer Products

BUILDING ENERGY CODES - BASICS Provide minimum building requirements that are cost-effective in saving energy Required for new construction or substantial renovation DEVELOPMENT Nationally, private model code organizations – IECC, ASHRAE – develop technically supported codes through consensus process ADOPTION Most states adopt those model codes either legislatively or administratively, many with state specifications IMPLEMENTATION Code inspection and enforcement generally occurs through local building officials - Whole building approach: all states now have some kind of whole building residential programs, most often labeled as Home Performance with ENERGY STAR, but in some states (e.g., CT and NH), it’s under a different name. On commercial, all are at least trying to get more comprehensive to address all fuels. For example, strategy in most states is evolving from simple lighting retrofits to audit-driven, lost opportunity approaches that also consider related heating/cooling improvements. Are also trying to do more O&M retrocommissioning, but PAs are still wary of how they’ll be viewed from a cost-effectiveness perspective by regulators (see slide 9) -CHP information from ACEEE: http://www.aceee.org/industry/Chittum_IETC_09_CHP_Scorecard_1.pdf - On decoupling: see accompanying cheat sheet thumbnail descriptions of various state decoupling policies.

NATIONAL MODEL CODES IECC ASHRAE 90.1 2010 2009 in place, state adoptions now ‘30 % Solution’ 2012 in development ASHRAE 90.1 2010 Update underway, publication expected this fall Also developed advanced buildings guideline ‘Standard 189’ DOE urging updates to meet net zero building milestones toward 2025 goal of ‘marketable’ NZEBs

THE BOOST FROM ARRA AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (ARRA) Conditioning language for SEP grant eligibility: Adopt 2009 IECC (residential) Adopt 2007 ASHARE 90.1 (commercial) Develop plan to achieve 90 percent code compliance within eight years Some states have enacted legislation demonstrating ARRA code requirements (VT, RI, DE) Many using ARRA SEP funds – at varying levels – to develop/enhance code training (NH, MA, CT, RI, ME, NY)

STATUS OF ENERGY CODES State Residential Commercial Notes Connecticut 2003 IRC 2003 IECC Update to 2009 pending Maine 2009 IECC pending First uniform statewide code; third party inspection Massachusetts IECC 2009 ASHRAE 90.1-2007 or 2009 IECC Effective June 1; automatic update mandated New Hampshire 2009 IECC Effective April 1 New Jersey 2006 IECC Update on hold New York ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Adopted April 2010 Rhode Island Effective July 1 Vermont 2000 IECC w/amendments Update to latest model code mandated by 1/11

ENERGY CODES POLICY: ISSUES TO ADDRESS CODE ADOPTION ARRA commitments aside, are states serious? More well-funded opposition to model code development Confusion re: beyond code/green building guidance CODE COMPLIANCE Just figuring out compliance levels is a challenge Often ignored, focus more on health/safety codes State, municipal code offices, training efforts underfunded Tracking virtually non-existent MEASUREMENT Post construction energy performance largely ignored GUIDANCE NEEP Model Progressive Building Energy Codes Policy

Building energy labeling/disclosure MEASURING/DISCLOSING BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE Time-of-sale (or other event) rating and disclosure Code addresses new construction, BER gets to existing High interest in states NEEP research paper developed Provides roadmap for states in setting policies Working with new federal on establishing the rating system Working with states to set up policy infrastructure http://neep.org/public-policy/building-energy-codes/building-energy-rating

Building energy labeling/disclosure MEASURING/DISCLOSING BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE Many experiences nationally/internationally to draw from Examines policy design issues Fall ‘09: DOE-EPA reorganize, DOE to lead new National Building Rating Project to develop unified rating system Key issues for comment: Building national registry\database – privacy issues? Asset or operational rating? Site or source energy? Link to new retrofit efforts – mandated upgrades?

BUILDING RATING MODELS

Appliance standards HISTORY TODAY Provide minimum energy requirements for manufacture, import, sale or installation of an array of consumer products Can be set nationally or by states, but federal trumps HISTORY - Beginning in late ‘70s, states drove federal action, resulting in dozens of new appliance standards through 2007 TODAY - President setting aggressive new standards policy federally - States driving federal furnace standard, with Mass. in the lead - California once again leads new product list, topped by TVs - Mass., Conn., N.Y., Maryland, Washington following - Fierce opposition from consumer electronics industry

The case for standards - illustrated - Whole building approach: all states now have some kind of whole building residential programs, most often labeled as Home Performance with ENERGY STAR, but in some states (e.g., CT and NH), it’s under a different name. On commercial, all are at least trying to get more comprehensive to address all fuels. For example, strategy in most states is evolving from simple lighting retrofits to audit-driven, lost opportunity approaches that also consider related heating/cooling improvements. Are also trying to do more O&M retrocommissioning, but PAs are still wary of how they’ll be viewed from a cost-effectiveness perspective by regulators (see slide 9) -CHP information from ACEEE: http://www.aceee.org/industry/Chittum_IETC_09_CHP_Scorecard_1.pdf - On decoupling: see accompanying cheat sheet thumbnail descriptions of various state decoupling policies.
