Why a Building Energy Labeling Program is Needed

Energy Efficiency & Security

Better Understanding of Where and How Energy Used

Provide lower energy costs

Give Consumers Choice

Step Towards Net-Zero Energy Buildings

Benefits of a Building Energy Labeling Program

– Increased Asset Value for Higher Performing Buildings

– Emission Reductions– Opportunity for Energy Efficient Financing– Job Creation – New Energy Assessors– Consumer Choice

Implementation Approaches

Page 15: Implementation of a U.S. Building Energy Labeling Program for Energy Efficiency Charlie Haack, LEED AP Washington Internships for Students of Engineering.

15

Implementation Approaches

Voluntary vs. Mandatory

Page 16: Implementation of a U.S. Building Energy Labeling Program for Energy Efficiency Charlie Haack, LEED AP Washington Internships for Students of Engineering.

16

Implementation Approaches

A Mandatory Program has Several Resistances:– Issue of System First Costs for Building Owners– Possibility of ‘Devaluing’ properties that do not

perform well– Realty Groups that do not Want Additional Steps

to their Sales Processes.– Possible Large Cost to Federal Government

Page 17: Implementation of a U.S. Building Energy Labeling Program for Energy Efficiency Charlie Haack, LEED AP Washington Internships for Students of Engineering.

17

Implementation Approaches

California – AB 1103Clean Energy Future Act 2007

– Covers all Non-Residential Buildings– Requires Usage of a Currently Voluntary

Program, Energy Star for Buildings– Centrally Collects Building Energy Usage Data

Page 18: Implementation of a U.S. Building Energy Labeling Program for Energy Efficiency Charlie Haack, LEED AP Washington Internships for Students of Engineering.

18

Implementation Approaches

A Voluntary Program has Several Advantages:– Utilize Market Forces to Place Value on Energy

Efficiency– Less Cost for Local, State and Federal

Governments– Easily Adoptable as Mandatory Programs by Local

and State Governments at Low Cost

Conclusions

Page 19: Implementation of a U.S. Building Energy Labeling Program for Energy Efficiency Charlie Haack, LEED AP Washington Internships for Students of Engineering.

19

Conclusions

– Design for Voluntary but Adoptable as Mandatory for Local or State Usage

– Include Both New and Existing Buildings– Provide Education Grants for Energy Modelers and

Assessors– Provide Financial Incentives for Lenders to Provide

Energy Efficient Mortgages
