6 Trends in Building OperationsDemand for credentialed operators is growing. New Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act of 2010 requires all federal building personnel to be trained in energy efficient operations as of 2013. Increased emphasis on whole building tuning - low cost/no cost measures. Increasing attention to energy efficiency and sustainable operations. Better Buildings Workforce Guidelines Trends in the Field of Building Operations & Maintenance Building technicians held about 41,600 jobs in 2008, working in a variety of places including factories, hospitals, hotels, office and apartment buildings, schools, real estate firms, and shopping malls. Some are employed as contractors to a building or plant. In the last ten years, the demand for credentialed technicians is more evident in the facility/property management market as new public policies call for credibility and confidence in the building operator profession charged with safeguarding the value of building stock, complying with evolving energy codes, and carrying out mission-critical directives to drive down energy usage and costs. Occupations in facility management are expected to grow in the coming years. The field was identified as one of the top ten fastest growing professions in 2010 by CareerBuilder.com. Consulting services in facilities management are also growing as companies increasingly outsource to specialists to handle energy management and increasingly sophisticated computerized building controls systems (DOL 2012) A growing number of retirements of highly skilled technicians is expected to generate job openings for heating, ventilation and air conditioning technicians, mechanics, and installers. Trends in building automation and computerized controls are making newly constructed buildings and newly installed equipment more energy efficient, however experienced operators will increasingly be needed to maintain and repair these complex systems ( DOL 2012). Moreover, employer initiatives in energy efficiency and green building through ENERGY STAR® and LEED® are strong drivers for skilled technicians. Companies that operate buildings that meet ENERGY STAR certification standards are rewarded with 20-30% lower operating costs while achieving high-value national recognition as good environmental stewards (Energy Star 2012). The LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance (LEED-EBOM) rating system, for which building technicians play a significant role, has experienced explosive growth, with LEED-EBOM projects surpassing, for the first time in the program’s history, those certified under its new construction counterpart on an annual basis. Federal agencies, state energy offices, and industry supporters working towards improved energy performance of buildings are concerned with ensuring an adequate pool of skilled building operator technicians to support energy-efficiency projects mandated by energy-efficiency legislation and programs. Investments in commercial building efficiency upgrades do have to be protected to realize the full potential of the savings over measured life, as any diligent owner will attest. The Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act of 2010 requires all current federal building personnel to be trained in energy-efficient operations. Several states and municipalities now have legislation that seeks to make energy use in buildings more transparent by requiring the disclosure of energy consumption. New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, and Washington D.C. have all passed laws requiring building owners to publicly report annual energy use. This should promote awareness among owners, improve building management and overall performance, and possibly spur competition and demand for energy-efficient buildings. The building operator will likely play a significant role in collecting, reporting, and using building energy performance data. From a professional development perspective, this marks a significant impact on the technician’s skill set with regards to data mining processes and technologies, and team-based processes like energy audits, commissioning, and retro-commissioning initiatives. Other recent trends point to growing demand for new skill sets and credentialing for building technicians. Faced with high energy costs, businesses are adopting practices and hiring skilled workers to help them achieve energy efficiency. According to a Energy Efficiency Indicator survey by Johnson Controls, 71 percent of business leaders were paying more attention to energy efficiency than in previous years. Fifty-eight percent responded that energy management was extremely or very important. Of the organizations making public carbon commitments, 45 percent identified energy efficiency in buildings as their top carbon reduction strategy. In 2010, planned spending on energy efficiency has increased over spending in 2009 (Johnson Controls, 2009).

34 Control Your Energy Spend and Improve OperationsBryan Jungers Lead Analyst, E Source

35 From Widgets to Whole FacilitiesOptimized Facilities Coordinating dependent systems for optimal facility performance Integrated Systems Imagine your in the book Flatland. You think this is the “playing field” and you already know where all the pieces are and what you’re working with. We often talk about the energy or demand savings that are “on the table” or “left on the table” when we consider possible projects and upgrades In reality, we’ve mostly only been considering that bottom green table, where individual “widgets” are installed to reduce energy use or power demand at one point Before we can move forward to achieve higher goals and deeper savings, we have to realize that this “table” is not actually a table at all, but a series of steps Identifying the efficient technologies is only the first step; then we must consider how it integrates with and compliments are systems within the facility Deeper savings require orchestrated equipment control & management Efficient Technologies The first step in energy improvement, selecting high-performing equipment

36 A Familiar Path for Efficiency ProjectsComply with codes and standards Replace old, worn-out equipment and improve occupant comfort Meet or exceed your company’s goals for resource-use, carbon emissions, and/or corporate sustainability When there was only one step, considered to be the “playing field” the rules were fairly easy: Comply with building codes and equipment efficiency standards. Replace equipment when it breaks, wears out, or is nearing its useful life; upgrade to more-efficient equipment Justify added expense of efficient equipment through the need to meet corporate energy, resource, carbon, or sustainability goals (or stay ahead of C&S) Save money on your energy bills and maybe even get a rebate from your utility to further justify your investment. Good job! Gold star! Lower energy bills, get a rebate check!

37 Growing Beyond Fossil LimitationsSource: NODAPL Source: NOAA The Stone Age didn’t end due to stone scarcity, and the age of Fossil Fuels will end long before we run out. The cost of doing business will eventually become too great, and it could happen much sooner than we expect. Old paradigm: facilities folks compete with other business interests for operating budget, projects don’t get approved because of other priorities New paradigm: companies that don’t manage energy as a valuable asset will go out of business, and it will happen in CA first, then trickle elsewhere It’s not because we’re running out of energy. It’s because we’re subsidizing and condoning its waste less and less as people and things become more connected Source: The Telegraph Source: ZiCONsolar

38 Technologies That Grow With You1. Retrofit controllers for packaged rooftop units 2. Advanced controls for LED lighting 3. Advanced facility data analytics & commissioning 4. Systems integration and whole-facility management

39 Add Intelligence to Existing RTUsMost rooftop units are pretty dumb: All-or-nothing evaporator fan control (even in ventilation-only mode) No economizing; dampers malfunction and are often deliberately wired shut Demand-controlled ventilation not used or not working properly Temperature and humidity set points not set/sensed/adjusted optimally No indication that unit is operating poorly until it stops working altogether Wireless rooftop network Real- time connectivity 40 points of data One-minute interval histories Real-time power monitoring Savings estimation Diagnostics and analytics Remote notification Preventive maintenance Demand reduction The eIQ Platform leverages the Internet connectivity of the Catalyst retrofit controls device and its 40-point data stored at 1-minute intervals to conveniently deliver far more insight into the health and performance of rooftop unit equipment without ever having to climb up on the roof. eIQ makes possible web-enabled setpoint monitoring and control, unit-level advanced fault detection and diagnostics features, real-time sensor measurements for predicting building occupant comfort levels, direct integration with existing building automation systems (BASs), and even stand-alone BAS functionality to extend device capabilities beyond HVAC controls.

40 Benefits of RTU Advanced Retrofit ControlsImprove RTU performance and efficiency, without replacement Control evaporator fan speed; save energy, improve comfort . Monitor and adjust unit-level operation; mobile and remote Alerts of anomalous unit behavior; inspection and repair predictions Non-energy benefits may be better selling point than efficiency; reduced noise, improved comfort, extended equipment life, informed maintenance process Remote monitoring and control makes life easier for energy managers and/or maintenance contractors Fault detection and diagnostics can help businesses avoid unnecessary down time and discomfort by identifying and fixing small problems before equipment fails Energy-use tracking and billing analysis features could help simplify and improve utility program M&V process Source: Transformative Wave Technologies Enable monitoring-based commissioning and “M&V 2.0”

41 Integrated Lighting Controls Are Increasingly Attractive, But…If you are considering upgrading to LEDs anyway, strongly consider installing a system that includes integrated controls The cost will be lower than trying to go back in and upgrade to advanced controls later It will be difficult to cost-justify a future controls upgrade once LEDs are already installed, since your baseline energy use is relatively low already Non-energy benefits may help sell the project: simplicity, connectivity, remote monitoring/control, customizable and flexible to individuals and changing use of workspace, etc.

42 … Remain Uncommon in Commercial BuildingsDespite the fact that we keep hearing how advanced lighting is taking off rapidly, market potential for advanced controls remains quite large. Fewer than 5% of commercial building facilities managers report that they utilize advanced lighting controls techniques such as BAS integration, demand responsiveness, or daylight harvesting. Even fairly common lighting controls like dimming and occupancy sensing are fairly uncommon uncommon.

43 Trust, But Verify: Energy-Use Monitoring Isn’t Always AccurateIn order to save on costs, some networked lighting controls have been found to cut corners on energy-use measurements. Inaccuracies can derive from lower sampling rate, low-quality sensors, improper installation, or erroneous and over-simplified methods or algorithms. Some estimates may be off by a little, while others can be wildly inaccurate. Researchers from the CLTC in Davis found one lighting system reporting energy usage w/ an average accuracy of less than 40%! Refer to the Design Lights Consortium’s new Qualified Products List for networked lighting control products.

44 Energy Analytics Products Should Be Given Very Careful Scrutiny“One thing that has zero cost of entry is data analytics.” – Ryan Hanley, VP of Grid Solutions, SolarCity With “zero cost of entry” you get a lot of entrants, and a lot of churn. We’re still in the very early stages of the emerging market for “big data” enabled predictive analytics, virtual audits, and end-use disaggregation products.

45 Practical Issues Prevent Analytics Solutions from Fully Taking OffA smart meter’s data-collection interval of 15 minutes is too coarse for accurate disaggregation In response, some companies now claim to use sensors with data-sampling rates of anywhere from a few thousand up to a million per second, but the added value is unknown So-called “virtual audits” have improved but cannot eliminate the need for human expertise Remote energy audit tools can now identify some problem areas with a similar level of accuracy as on-site auditors When it comes to end-use disaggregation or recommending and prioritizing projects, they fall short

46 Connecting Utilities & CustomersFirstFuel’s experience provides a prime example of how challenging it has been to use meter data to deliver virtual audits Despite being early to market, the company has repositioned itself to serve utilities in their effort to better serve commercial customers - Savings from virtual audit services alone have not yet proven to be large or consistent enough to justify the investment of time and money in using - By moving away from its original service model, FirstFuel is now acting more as an extension of utility customer service/experience and DSM, where the utility is the customer rather than the commercial enrgy end user

47 Tracking Services for ROI and M&VA comparative field demonstration by the Smart Building Center reports test results for two solutions Unlike some other “virtual audit” tools, these products are intended to be used primarily to verify savings from projects, not identify and recommend them. Both companies sell SaaS products, with pricing ranging from $100 to $500 per month per panel for customized energy-use reporting from the company. More testing is still needed before we can say with confidence that investing in these services is a cost-effective business decision, how many panels should be monitored for different facility types and sizes, and whether observed savings are persistent for all types of efficiency upgrades.
