Our Agenda

High Performance Buildings:Achieving Superior Performance for Life


• Organizations are focused on doing more with less – Productivity, cost reduction are orders of the day– Access to cash and credit remains challenging– No appetite for capital investments without clear payback

• National energy use growing at >7% YOY (EPE-Empresa de Pesquisa de Energia)

• Brazil has world’s 4th highest national energy costs (Firjan)

• Buildings consume 42% of Brazil’s electricity (Min M.E.-Brasil) and cause 30% of CO2 emissions (ONU-United Nations)

• Energy equals ~40% of a building’s operating costs

• There’s an increase in public policy activity aimed at:– Reducing energy consumption and protecting the environment (Procel-

Edifica)– Building on Brazil’s high ranking (5th in the world) in LEED Certification

construction (GBC-Brazil)

Today’s Brazilian Operating Realities

Unprecedented challenges in our energy and operating environments


Opportunities for Energy Conservation in Brazil

Great potential in high performance green building approach

Safety

Efficiency

“Despite having had an energy efficiency program (PROCEL) since 1985 and a thriving ESCO (energy service companies) industry, an estimated $2.5 billion (U.S.) in potential energy efficiency improvements remain untapped (in Brazil) every year.”

High Performance Buildings Defined

High performance buildings deliver optimal efficiency, reliability, value and comfort

High performance buildings: • Are safe, comfortable and efficient

• Help owners and occupants achieve their business mission

• Follow LEED and Green Building Council – Brazil guidelines

• Meet specific standards for energy and water use, system reliability and uptime, environmental compliance, occupant comfort and safety and other success factors


HPB- A Whole Lifecycle Approach

• Aligned with LEED and GBC-B standards

• Standards based on desired performance levels and industry benchmarks are typically set for:

– Energy and water consumption

– System reliability

– Environmental compliance

– Occupant health, safety and comfort

• Typical buildings have occupied lives of 50-75 years or longer

• Operating costs typically account for 60-85% of building lifecycle costs – compared to 5-10% for design and construction costs

• Performance standards are measured and continually validated to deliver the desired outcomes

Sizeable opportunities to improve the performance of existing structures


Holistic, technology-enabled, knowledge-based approach is integral to establishing and sustaining standards throughout a building’s occupied lifespan

• Embracing predictive building maintenance strategies• Establishing and maintaining sound operating metrics• Adopting performance-based service concepts

A poorly designed building operated and maintained effectively outperforms a well-designed building with poor operating and maintenance practices

Service Innovations Enable Performance for Life


Adopting a High Performance Building For Life Approach


Focus on Retrofit Opportunities

Improving existing buildings’ performance for life• Improving performance of existing buildings offers huge

opportunity for Brazilian owners and operators

• Energy efficiency improvements can yield 20-50% savings

• 15-to-1 return on investment including occupant health, energy savings and operational savings (GBC-Brazil)

• Ability to reduce buildings’ environmental impact

• Proven technology, low risk retrofit approaches and financing are available to public and private entities

• Critical building system audits identify the right approach to implementing high performance for life

Huge opportunity to improve performance of existing buildings


• Assemble a team• Choose a qualified energy services

partner with experience in Brazil• Define program objectives

– Reduce operating costs– Increase operational

performance– Improve occupant comfort and

safety– Enhance employee productivity – Achieve environmental

certification

Build an energy management team with buy-in from key internal stakeholders, including owners, managers and department heads

Conduct a Critical Building Systems Audit


Quick Return (0-2 yr payback)

Intermediate(2-4 yr payback)

Long-Term

Update existing building automation systems

Install new building automation system

Replace high efficiency equipment (major systems chiller/boilers)

Conduct energy/critical systems audit

Improve HVAC systems (constant -variable volume)

Improve building envelope

Make behavioral changes (turn lights off, program systems)

Implement water conservation

Apply renewable technologies

Explore utility procurement options

Use fans and motors (VFDs, high efficiency change outs)

Apply on site/distributive power generation

Check, inspect and repair equipment

Apply load shifting technology (ice storage)

Implement comprehensive maintenance strategies

Taking a lifecycle, whole-building approach offers the best long-term ROI

• Many, many Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) technologies and applications need a methodology to assess and rate

• Methodology developed using Six Sigma analysis processes and tools

• Evaluation process based on 5 key customer and Trane “importance factors”– Savings potential, Practicality,

Commercial viability, Risk management, Business differentiation

• Score of 0-100% with 100% being the best ranking

Use Six Sigma methodology to select energy measures
