Total Energy Usage As A Measure of Building Performance 30% Building Energy Savings Through an Energy Lifecycle Approach to Building Construction, Retro-fitting, and Management Paul Hamilton Schneider Electric VP Government Affairs
2
Schneider Electric 2 - Paul Hamilton NEMA High Performance Building Council Leverage NEMA membership and it associates products, offers, and expertise to further the development and management of high performance buildings. The Association of Electrical and Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers

Schneider Electric 3 - Paul Hamilton What is a High Performance Building? ●“….Green building is also known as a sustainable or high performance building” - US EPA ●“…a building that integrates and optimizes all major high-performance building attributes, including energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance, and occupant productivity -Energy Policy Act of 2005 ●“One that uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste, and provides healthier spaces for occupants” -Indian Green Building Council ●“….. environmentally sustainable building, designed, constructed and operated to minimize the total environmental impacts.” -Build Green ●“The building is a citizen of the city and has an obligation to society” -Xiaowei Xu, PhD., Chief Engineer, Shenzhen Institute of Building Research ? Does a high performance building have to be designed as green or is it about optimizing performance ?

Optimizing Energy Use Persistent Energy Savings
5
Schneider Electric 5 - Paul Hamilton ●Efficient devices and efficient installation (10 to 15 %) Low consumption devices, insulated building… ●Optimized usage of installation and devices (5 to 15%) Turn off devices when not needed, regulate motors or heating at the optimized level… ●Permanent monitoring and improvement program (2 to 8%) Rigorous maintenance program, measure and react in case of deviation 30% savings are available today… Passive EE Active EE
6
Schneider Electric 6 - Paul Hamilton But …….… The long term challenge is sustained energy savings ●One step is not enough, savings are lost due to ●Behavior & Commitment ●Lack of visibility ●Lack of Automation Energy Consumption 100% 70% Efficient devices and installation Optimized usage via automation Monitoring & Maintenance Up to 8% per year is lost without monitoring and maintenance program Up to 12% per year is lost without regulation and control systems Time Control and monitoring technologies will sustain the savings
7
7 A focus on Active Energy Management for sustained and persistent savings Energy Audit & Measure Active Energy Efficiency Passive Energy Efficiency Optimise through automation & regulation Monitor, maintain, improve Fix the basics Low consumption devices, insulation material, power factor correction HVAC control, lighting control, variable speed drives… Meters installation, monitoring services, EE analysis software

Innovation for Change A new era of integration
9
Schneider Electric 9 - Paul Hamilton New Opportunity for Deep Persistent Savings from Technology and Markets The intersection of IT and Energy Management will create new opportunities to accelerate energy efficiency Energy Infrastructure Information Technology Intelligent Energy
10
Schneider Electric 10 - Paul Hamilton Electrical distribution HVAC control Lighting control Energy monitoring Motor control Access control Security Critical Power & cooling Renewable energies Efficiency ●30% energy savings ●Optimized Capex & Opex Reliability ●Continuity of service of Electrical Power Interoperability and openness to third party systems Simple Integration Green ●Connection to renewable energies Productivity ●Productive work places From multi-silo to single backbone system: example of buildings
11
What is possible Persistent Energy Savings
12
Schneider Electric 12 - Paul Hamilton Significant gains are possible ●Schneider Electric HQ ●New Paris headquarters housing 1,700 employees ●Energy target to reduce to 50 kWh / m2 / year ●Energy bill of existing buildings divided by five ●First ISO50001 certified building in Europe 30% Capex & Opex savings 70 kwh/sqm final energy consumption in 2010 75% energy savings
13
Challenges Keys for long term success
14
Schneider Electric 14 - Paul Hamilton High Performance Building Inhibitors ●Market Inhibitors ●Low awareness and inadequate skills ●Limited incentives for designers and builders ●Comparative usage understanding ●Technology Inhibitors ●Systems level solutions/integration ●Measurement & verification ●Financing Inhibitors ●Incentive misalignment ●Limited or inadequate financing ●Regulation ●Inconsistent implementation of compliance with policies and codes ●Inconsistent & immature policies ●Inconsistent utility engagement across states
15
Schneider Electric 15 Energy is invisible. We need to make it visible! Benchmarking shows opportunity exists ……in high tech facilities energy intensity varies significantly Integrated connectivity gives insight …. In Data Centers Energy Dashboards allows optimize management
16
Schneider Electric 16 Labeling is Still confusing ●Need to be clear on different labels and their proposes ●operational versus asset rating ●Technical versus statistical ●Need consistency between competing systems ●Many competing labeling systems in market today ●Many evolving
