3. Why is Energy Efficiency Important? Protects the Environment Adds Comfort Reduces Cost of Ownership If you are not building ENERGY STAR you are not building affordable housing!

4. Energy Efficiency Envelope Distribution Equipment Lighting Appliances IAQ and Durability Moisture/Mold Soil-gas Control Pest Mgt. HVAC Combust. Safety Materials Commissioning Resource Efficiency Site Planning Water Materials Waste Mgt. Renewables Green Home Staircase A Green Home Begins with ENERGY STAR Blue

5. Multi-Family Sector 75% of multi-family sector is covered by ENERGY STAR New Homes Program What about the other 25%?

6. Multi-Family High-Rise Barriers to overcome in developing an ENERGY STAR Program: – Split incentive – Tenant turn over – Modeling tools – Limited Data – No definition of energy efficient building – No clear diagnostic procedures

7. Ad-hoc National Working Group Recommended: – 20% better than ASHRAE 90.1 as defined by appendix G – Top quartile on RECS benchmarking tool Developed: – Cost Guidelines – Minimum Performance Standards – Simulation Guidelines – System Performance Testing Protocols

8. Multi-Family High-Rise Pilots Pilots running in NY, WI and OR Intend to expand pilot To become an ENERGY STAR Program Cost Effective Represents real energy reduction Provides value in the market place Feasible and easy to implement

9. Other Opportunities Lighting, appliances, and water heaters are a significant part of the base loads. Make them ENERGY STAR! Existing Family Units ENERGY STAR lighting, appliances, windows and water heaters Percent Efficiency Improvement 15% to 20% Cost to Upgrade per Unit $567 Savings per Unit$156 Pay Back Period3.6 years
