Building Technologies Program Mission Building Technologies Program Mission Statement To create technologies and design approaches that enable net- zero energy buildings at low incremental cost by A net zero energy building is a residential or commercial building with greatly reduced needs for energy through efficiency gains, with the balance of energy needs supplied by renewable technologies. These efficiency gains will have application to buildings constructed before 2025 resulting in a substantial reduction in energy use throughout the sector.

DOE Building Technologies Program Research on residential and commercial building equipment and systems in support of research goal of Net Zero Energy Buildings by 2025; and Regulations setting test procedures and energy conservation standards for consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment.

The Macro Perspective National Energy Consumption Electricity Production Lighting Energy Consumption 8% of Energy 22% of Electricity

Energy Policy Act of 2005 Section 135(c) includes traffic signals and pedestrian modules and sets: –test procedures, based on ITE Specifications (VTCSH Part 2) –energy conservation standards, adopts EPA ENERGY STAR for Traffic Signals, Version 1.1

Test Procedures DOE is preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding test procedures and manufacturer certification and compliance issues; The notice is expected to be published in the Federal Register in late Spring/Summer 2006; DOE will be proposing test procedures based on EPA ENERGY STAR version 1.1 and VTCSH Part 2; and DOEs regulations are based on manufacturer self-testing and reporting.

Impacts of Standards Effective January 1, 2006; Applies to the manufacture and import of traffic signal modules and pedestrian modules; Does not apply to amber (orange) balls, lane controls and countdowns; California is allowed to keep their standards for pedestrian modules; Does not apply to existing stock (i.e., manufactured before January 1, 2006) or repair of existing products; and Does not require existing product to be replaced and/or retrofitted.

Further Standards Updates to the EPACT 2005 performance standards arent planned; and DOE doesnt have plans to adopt performance standards for other product categories, e.g., amber balls or lane controls.
