2. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects Overview ARRA – The Rules of Engagement Many Existing Green Requirements High Performers must perform Higher Money allocated via EUI and Building Conditions Project scopes determined via Energy Audit Standardized Green Scopes, Specs, Guidance Minimum Performance Criteria Tracking 2

3. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects ARRA – The Rules of Engagement Obligate Construction in 1 Year Outlay Construction $ ASAP Maximize the Fiscal Multiplier Taxpayer Fairness – Buy American Green the Inventory with Long-Term Improvements 3

4. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects Many Existing Green Requirements EPAct 2005 – 30% below ASHRAE 90.1 (energy cost), 3%/year Portfolio Reduction EISA 2007 – 55% below CBECS average (fossil fuel) EO 13423 – Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings New Buildings Comply 15% of Inventory Complies by 2015 4

5. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects High Performers must perform Higher Average EUI was 67 kBTU/SF/Yr – About 25% Lower than National Average of ~90 k – Average Building would achieve EnergyStar Most ECMs with < 6 Yr Payback were already done 5

6. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects Money allocated via EUI and Building Conditions Without broad scale energy audits, EUI was best indicator Targeted Old Systems ready for Replacement to become HP – All bad roofs replaced, many with PV or Green – New mechanical with lots of Heat Recovery, Demand Control Ventilation, Geothermal 6

7. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects Project scopes determined via Energy Audit Fast Energy Audits for Every Building, then Re- commissioning – Identified ECMs and paybacks – Re-tuned systems and fixed problems 7

8. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects Standardized Green Scopes, Specs, Guidance 20+ Scope, Spec, and Guidance Documents – List of Mandatory LEED Credits – Lots of Lighting Specs, Guidance, Scopes of Work – SOWs for Photovoltaics – R-50 Roof replacements – Water saving and Solar Hot Water 8

9. Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Lessions Learned from ARRA Projects Minimum Performance Criteria Tracking 35+ MPCs to implement Guiding Principles and thus EPAct, EISA, and EO 13423 Online submission and tracking of Project Details and Data Lots of Data 9
