Sustainable Buildings: Guiding PrinciplesSustainable Buildings: Guiding Principles
From: “Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings”• 1. Employ Integrated Design Principles
– Integrated Design- Integrated project team in all stages of project planning and
delivery- Establish and incorporate performance goals for siting, energy,
water, materials and indoor environmental quality- Consider all stages of life to include deconstruction
– Commissioning- Employ total building commissioning tailored to the building size
and complexity- Designate a commissioning authority, have a plan, verify plan
was followed

Sustainable Buildings: Guiding PrinciplesSustainable Buildings: Guiding Principles
From: “Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings”• 2. Optimize Energy Performance
– Energy Efficiency- Establish a whole building performance target and design to reach
Energy Star targets; where applicable- Design to reduce energy by 30% versus ASHRAE Std. 90.1-2004 in new
buildings- Design to reduce energy by 20% versus ASHRAE Std. 90.1-2004 in
major renovations– Measurement and Verification
- Install building level meters in new and major renovated buildings to track and continuously optimize performance
- Compare performance versus plan- Share results and lessons learned (through High Performance Buildings
Database)

Sustainable Buildings: Guiding PrinciplesSustainable Buildings: Guiding Principles
From: “Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings”• 3. Protect and Conserve Water
– Indoor Water- Employ strategies that in aggregate use a minimum of 20% less
potable water than baseline– Outdoor Water
- Employ strategies to reduce outdoor potable water consumption by a minimum of 50% less than baseline
- Employ design and construction strategies that reduce storm water runoff and polluted site water runoff

Sustainable Buildings: Guiding PrinciplesSustainable Buildings: Guiding Principles
From: “Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings”• 4. Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality
– Ventilation and Thermal Comfort- Meet ASHRAE 55-2004; Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human
Occupancy (includes humidity control) and ASHRAE 62.1-2004 Ventilation of Acceptable Indoor Air Quality
– Moisture control- Prevent moisture flows and condensation to prevent building damage and mold
– Day lighting- Achieve day lighting in 75 percent of all spaces occupied for critical visual tasks.
Provide lighting control and appropriate glare control.– Use Low Emitting materials – carpet, paint, sealants etc.– Protect Indoor Air Quality during construction
- Follow SMACNA Guidelines
9
Sustainable Buildings: Guiding PrinciplesSustainable Buildings: Guiding Principles
From: “Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings”• 5. Reduce Environmental Impact of Materials
– Recycled content- 10% of project material cost expended on materials with recycled content
– Biobased content- Use biobased products from renewable sources and sustainable wood products
– Construction Waste- Plan to recycle 50% of construction waste where markets or on-site recycling
opportunities exist– Ozone Depleting Compounds
- Eliminate use of ozone depleting compounds during and after construction where alternative environmentally friendly products are available

Secretary’s TEAM InitiativeSecretary’s TEAM Initiative
The Secretary expects DOE to be a Leader in compliance with the Executive Order as well as the Energy Policy Act of 2005• Established the Transformational Energy Action
management (TEAM) initiative– TEAM is Chaired by the Assistant Secretary for Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE/RE)– TEAM is the integrator of all energy reduction and
sustainability initiatives
12
High Performance Sustainable Buildings Working Group (WPSBWG)High Performance Sustainable Buildings Working Group (WPSBWG)
Chartered to support the TEAM with respect to generating a strategy for compliance with the sustainable buildings goals of the E.O• Chaired by Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy
– Alignment and linkage to DOE TEAM and Interagency Working Group
• Key Membership:– NNSA and DOE real property owning programs– Federal Energy Management program– Office of Engineering and Construction Management
- Linkage to Senior Real Property Officers and Federal Real Property Council
– Office of Health Safety and Security– Office of General Council
13
Compliance Strategy for Sustainable Buildings and Guiding PrinciplesCompliance Strategy for Sustainable Buildings and Guiding Principles
Strategy falls under two areas:• New buildings / major renovations and;
– Guiding principles easier to apply to and clearly written with a consideration to new buildings
– DOE Order discusses goal of green construction– Compliance with E.O. satisfied by application of recognized green
building standard (e.g. LEED Gold)• Existing buildings are more challenging
14
Compliance Strategy for Sustainable Buildings and Guiding PrinciplesCompliance Strategy for Sustainable Buildings and Guiding Principles
Challenge of Existing Buildings• Calculation of 15% portfolio compliance
– Portfolio make-up (operational status, excess year, type of building, new assets on line)
– Decided on: Calculation of contribution by square footage • Applicability of Guiding Principles
– Integrated design would not apply nor would construction waste recovery but commissioning would
– Energy consumption• Industry benchmarks for existing buildings not as mature as
those for new buildings• Meaningful baselines and targets must be established
– Budget implications of the 15% by FY15 goal

An evaluation of a building to determine its sustainable performance as it relates to meeting the Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings• Assessment is required to document HPSB performance.
– Can combine with Energy Act requirement to perform energy and water evaluations, and benchmarking.
HPSB AssessmentHPSB Assessment
20
Assessment: a combination of a visual inspection and measurements to determine performance levels. The assessment determines building performance by utilizing a set of standards to identify:• Site characteristics• Water efficiency • Energy savings
– identify energy savings in terms of percent reduction or – calculate an Energy Star rating (benchmarking)
• Materials and Resources, and• Indoor Environmental Quality
Critical to assign responsibility and accountability to this process• Quality control and quality assurance is important

HPSB Compliance StrategyHPSB Compliance Strategy
Step 1: Assessors should first utilize the Tab: Existing Buildings Checklist to take a quick inventory of where the building stands in terms of meeting overall sustainable building practices.
26
The “yellow” rows identify measures that correspond to the HPSB Guiding Principles.
The first column identifies achievable credits. The second is used can identify potential
credits.• These are credits in which more research may
be required. The third column is (no) for those credits that
are identified as non-applicable. The checklist has a column on the right side of
the checklist that identifies all HPSB Guiding Principles and prerequisites that have been met.
By checking each box the total percent of HPSB Guiding Principles achieved is tabulated.
