Why Building Energy Labeling?Why Building Energy Labeling?
As the nation looks to reduce its energy use, information is
the critical first step in making the necessary choices and
changes
Information for Consumers to Allow Educated Choices is Not New
Restaurant Sanitation Ratings
Nutrition Facts Label
Car Fuel Economy Estimates
Building Energy Labels. . .
Promote the value of energy efficiency in the marketplace
Differentiate buildings with good performance for potential tenants/buyers
Enhance building owner’s ability to identify energy efficiency measures to help improve operations

Building Energy Labels. . .
Provide clear communication of energy performance to the public
Contribute to building performance databases – potential
and actual energy use
Highlight the drive toward Net Zero Energy Buildings

Current “Building Label” Efforts in the US:
– Energy Star– DOE– LEED Certifications– Green Globes– BOMA 360

All of these Programs are Voluntary
Mandatory labeling requirements:

Now is the time to introduce a label that could serve as a consistent model for all
mandatory programs in the U.S.
Why Should Professionals & Owners Care?
• Professionals– An additional service for consulting firms and others– Required certifications demonstrate competency
• Owners– Benchmarking– Recognition for participation can enhance a
company’s image and reputation– Economic benefit of improving design and operation– Potential for mandatory labeling and related
requirements in future

What is bEQ?
• A voluntary certification program• A technical method that draws on
successful features of other US and European building certifications
• Complements other green building rating systems and energy certification programs
• Can be a tool to stimulate adoption of high performance building techniques

Types of Ratings
In Operation Rating (Operational)
• Actual measured energy use of a building
• Based on combination of structure and features of the building and how it is operated
• Applicable for existing buildings • Applicable for new buildings after 12-18
months of operation

Types of Ratings
As Designed Rating (Asset)
• Assessment of the building based on design components: mechanical, envelope, orientation, and lighting.
• Based on results of a building energy model• Applicable to both new and existing buildings • Can be used to make choices between
potential building designs

How Does The Rating Scale Work?
Technical potential scales can rate performance that falls outside the current distribution, like net zero or net positive buildings
