Commercial Real Estate Pain Points
4
Market barriers within the commercial real estate value chain
have led to missed efficiency opportunities and sub-performing
assets.
Key Market Barriers:
• Fragmented industry delivery chain
• Limited whole building insight
• Confusion from multitude of point solutions
• Limited/sub-optimal measurement and performance verification
• Incentive mismatch between owners, tenants and solution providers
Confidential, Do Not Copy or Distribute,
Property Of Waypoint Building Group, Inc.
The Split Incentive
The split incentive typically occurs when the party who pays the
upfront costs of an efficiency improvement is different from the
one who benefits from the energy savings.

HVAC CHALLENGES AND NEEDS
Buildings in the U.S. today consume 72 percent of electricity produced, and 55 percent of U.S. natural gas use - LBNL
About 35% of every facility’s energy use is for HVAC
HVAC CHALLENGES AND NEEDS
Source: Energy Consumption Characteristics of Commercial Building HVAC Systems, Report analyzing CBECS data prepared by the US DOE
Large preponderance of packaged HVAC
units on Commercial buildings in the US. By some accounts
that number is ~ 60% for CA
HVAC CHALLENGES AND NEEDS
• Field studies of over 500 installed RTU’s in CA and the Northwest have indicated several issues with:
• Refrigerant charge• Economizer operation• Airflow• Thermostat• Sensors
• There is tremendous potential to harnessing energy savings by ensuring optimal operations of installed RTU’s

IOU HVAC PROGRAM STRATEGY AND DELIVERY CHANNELS
Upstream: Distributor Program
• Provide incentives to Distributor to stock and upsell high efficiency units
• Long running, successful program targeting all types and configurations of HVAC units from packaged to built up
• Recent success story: Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Units
Midstream: Quality Installation/Retrofit
• Provide workforce education and training (WE&T) as well as diagnostic and commissioning services to ensure proper installation of new and retrofit HVAC units
• Training based on ACCA / ASHRAE standards around proper sizing of heating/cooling capacities and duct design
Midstream: Quality Maintenance
• Customer and contractor incentives for short and long term maintenance practices per ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 180
• Strong WE&T component focused on contractor/technician training of advanced RTU diagnostics and repair
• Units are brought to an acceptable baseline and kept functioning optimally
Underlying theme: HVAC / Whole System Optimization
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION AND DEPLOYMENT
Long term successful implementation of these programs will need: • Better analysis and diagnostic tools• Integrated data entry and data mining platforms to boost
operational efficiency• Retrofit add-on technologies that enhance existing system
operations
The IOU’s are currently working on evaluating or integrating the following technologies into the programs:• Advanced Digital Economizer Controls (ADEC)• Integrated Demand Side EE and DR (IDSM) • Retrofit Add-on Cooling Enhancements• Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) tools and protocols
ADVANCED DIGITAL ECONOMIZER CONTROLS (ADEC)
FDD TOOLS AND PROTOCOLS
RETROFIT ADD-ON COOLING ENHANCEMENTS
INTEGRATED EE AND DR USING INTERNET CONNECTED TECHNOLOGIES
• Enabling technologies enrolled in EE and DR programs – Energy Efficiency: HVAC Quality Maintenance– Demand Response: Automated Demand Response
AVENUES FOR COLLABORATION
• Statewide Emerging Technologies Program
• Western HVAC Performance Alliance
– www.performancealliance.org

PG&E OVERVIEW AND VISION OF COMMERCIAL ET EFFORTS
• PG&E’s ET Program supports the downstream efforts of the energy efficiency product and program teams
– Reducing technology risk through assessments
– Reducing market risk by understanding technology or program adoption barriers
– Supporting market transformation
• ETP Supports Commercial Programs through:
Screening for new technologies
Identifying opportunities for
technology improvements
Educating industry on utility product
development process
Assessing innovative program
designs
PG&E ETP’S ROLE IN A CHANGING LANDSCAPE
Technology Mix• Integrated systems-based solutions
• Next generation lighting + controls
• ET Project Examples: Small Commercial EMS, LED Replacement Lamps with Controls
“Big Data”• Understanding energy use and savings
opportunities
• Analysis and Data-driven Tools
• ET Project Examples: Business Energy Reports, EMIS Software Baseline Modeling
Zero Net Energy (ZNE)
•Achieving maximum energy efficiency and load reduction by leveraging advanced design, construction and building operations before the addition of on-site renewables
•ET Project Example: ZNE Monitoring at Sacred Heart Library
ETP Supporting Trends in a Changing Landscape
SCE’S OVERVIEW AND VISION OF COMMERCIAL ET EFFORTS
ETP ROADMAP – WHOLE BUILDING
THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE
• More stringent codes• Split incentive remains a challenge• Distributed generation • Changing expectations for technology
– Technology plays an important role but…
• Need to focus on customer needs • System approaches and integrated solutions delivery
for both new and existing buildings• Localized resources a new reality
– San Onofre– Once-thru-cooling
SOCALGAS OVERVIEW AND VISION OF COMMERCIAL ET EFFORTS
• Vision and Strategy- Holistic approaches- Gas has an important role in ZNE- System approaches focused in hot
water/space heating and food service - TA for component based EE measures,
lab & field testing- Assisting market transformation
• Sample Projects– Playa Vista Community Center 2 near ZNE– EPRI & LINC Beechwood Apts. Near ZNE,
PIER 12-503B. Address split-incentive challenges.
– Enovative PIR-12-030 Solutions for 2 common Hot Water Loop & CrossflowProblems
SOCALGAS ETP’S ROLE IN A CHANGING LANDSCAPE
• As the landscape changes, SoCalGas ETP is– Taking a holistic approach; working with electric
utilities– Recommending what is best for customers, gas &
electric– Offering gas & ZNE options
• Community scale CHP• Restaurant of the Future• Smart Gas Homes• Compact Furnaces
• Like to pursue– Cutting edge projects, such as compact gas flow
meter, compact furnace, smart circulators, etc.– Joint project with RD&D– Collaboration with PIER projects– Partnering with local muni’s, DWP, etc.
H2AC for restaurants
Compact Furnace in Lab Home
LINC Housing PIER Project
SDG&E OVERVIEW AND VISION OF COMMERCIAL ET EFFORTS
• Conduct field research and develop measures and strategies to expand commercial program offering.– Widgets: HVAC, lighting controls
– Controls: Optimization and FD&D
• Current Field Research:– ALCS and RTU Retrofit Controllers
– VAV Optimization and Continuous Commissioning
SDG&E ETP’S ROLE IN A CHANGING LANDSCAPE
• “Big Data” is one of the areas of greatest change. (Opportunity?)– Managing big data is challenging, but has been done– Market knowledge could improve with energy data publication– Derivative products and services are nascent and ET can help
separate the wheat from the chaff
• Interested in cost effective technology to enable FD&D, optimization, and more flexible controls, especially those on open source platforms– The “boundaries” are still undefined, committing to proprietary
systems is difficult and shortsighted.– Sensor/microcontroller costs have dropped significantly; there
is an opportunity for “disruptive” technology .
SMUD DEEP ENERGY RETROFIT PROGRAM
Helps define improvements to Complete Energy Solutions and Custom Energy Efficiency Programs
e.g. Maydestone: historical multi-family residential building (~40% savings); Child Abuse Prevention Center: occupied office building (~35% savings)
SMUD ZERO NET ENERGY BUILDINGPROGRAM
Helps define improvements to Savings By Design Program and move toward CA State ZNE 2030 Goal.
La Valentina: low-income multi-family residential building (design ~35% less energy than Title 24, ~50% less including PV electric);
