Cost effective opportunities for energy efficiency
3
Great opportunities in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors
20% + savings is average
Other benefits:
Jobs, Environment,
CompetitivenessU.S. spends $600 billion each year to power homes, plants, and buildings
But persistent barriers exist……
Energy efficiency not included as corporate decision making; not integrated into business planning
Lack of senior management buy-in
Lack of information; need for unbiased information
High hurdle rates
No ability to engage in ESCO financing (and for public sector: engaging in ESCO financing with low interest bonds)
Tenant/employee behaviors at odds with efficiency goals
Split incentives
Not enough/qualified workforce
Better Buildings Goals and Strategies
Goals Make commercial, industrial buildings & multifamily housing 20%+ more
efficient over 10 years
Save more than $80B+ annually for US organizations

Lessons from Better Buildings Challenge partners

1. Know the goal.Organizations that have set portfolio-wide goals and have met them, or are well on their way, include University of California, Irvine, Legrand, Cummins, and Best Buy.
2. Data matters.If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Macy’s, TIAA CREF, Schneider Electric, the City of Columbia, Missouri, the State of Delaware and the City of Beaverton, Oregon.
3. Look beyond technology.Successful projects combine technology advances with organizational changes and commitment. 3M, the City of Arlington, Virginia, Delaware State University, the states of North Carolina and Minnesota, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Kohl’s and Alcoa.
4. It takes an (energy) champion – and a team.Saint-Gobain, the City of Hillsboro, Oregon, the State of Maryland, Cleveland Clinic, the City of El Paso, Texas and Cummins are just a few of the organizations with a successful champion. Staples and New York Presbyterian Hospital are great demonstrations of why people power matters.
5. Learn, teach and evolve.Successful businesses and organizations are constantly evolving to succeed and meet their customers’ needs. These leaders also recognize that how they use their buildings must evolve too. They seek out best practices from others and share their learnings with peers. City of Atlanta, Georgia and the City of Gillette, Wyoming implemented just such programs, as did Partners such as Legrand, Ford and HEI Hotels & Resorts.

So that’s why, three years ago, I announced what we called the Better Buildings Initiative. It's an ambitious plan to improve the energy efficiency of America’s commercial buildings by 20 percent by the year 2020. And already we've got 190 businesses and organizations that have signed on. On average, they’re on track to meet their goal -- cutting energy use by 2.5 percent every single year. Together, they’ve already saved $300 million in energy costs. So we know it works.
