8 HiPerBRIC Output 1.Identification of gaps in technology and policies based on demonstrations, field trials and market assessments 2.Intellectual property and hardware/software technologies for retrofitting, designing new buildings, and operating all buildings 3.Demonstrations, best practices, and know-how for broad scale deployment 4.Facility for users to validate, test hardware/software performance in realistic building environment to reduce risk and enable commercialization 5.Technological support for codes and standards 6.Education and training for scientists, engineers, architects and other building professionals 7.Formation of new joint ventures and business models to revitalize the buildings industry

9 HiPerBRIC Role Relative to Other Initiatives Complements and leverages other evolving commercial buildings programs working towards 2030 net zero energy consumption –Commercial Buildings Initiative (CBI) – loose confederation of activities to bring together the full spectrum of actions and players needed to transform the sector to reach 2030 targets; serves as broker, coordinator, convenor, collaborator, advocate for commercial buildings RDD&D; demonstration and deployment focus; business model focuses on building owners and users. New legislation (HR6) authorizes $20M in FY2008 growing to $200M in FY2011. CBI can provide key interface for HiPerBRIC to implementation performers and stakeholders. –California PUC Strategic Plan for New Commercial Buildings– consistent with goals of AB32 draft vision includes strategic, enabling and cross cutting initiatives addressing codes and standards, operations, financing and incentives, training and certification; includes promotion of integrated R&D and design to reach 2030 goals. HiPerBRIC meets criteria for an ‘enabling initiative’ in current draft CPUC vision. –Architecture 2030 – poses challenge to global architecture and building community to adopt a series of fossil fuel reduction targets for new and existing buildings by HiPerBRIC output will provide systems, tools and technologies to support these targets. –Getting to Fifty – resource to building community to achieve 50% improvement in energy efficiency of new building construction based on learning from success of 100 new commercial buildings with features that meet the 50% goal. HiPerBRIC will tap into these successes for feedback to research needs. Getting to Fifty™
