2 Energy- Regional Innovation Cluster (E-RIC) Dual E-RIC Mission: Reduced energy use in buildings Regional economic development Department of Energy $122 million Economic Development Administration $5 million National Institute of Standards and Technology $1.5 million Small Business Administration $1.3 million Commonwealth of Pennsylvania $30 million

3 Dynamic Consortium Comprised of 27 academic institutions, industry partners and economic development agencies focused on deployment The Pennsylvania State University (lead) Balfour Beatty Bayer MaterialScience Ben Franklin Technology Partners of SE PA Carnegie Mellon University Collegiate Consortium Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center Drexel University IBM Corporation Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Lutron Electronics, Inc. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Morgan State University New Jersey Institute of Technology Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation Pennsylvania College of Technology PPG Industries Princeton University Project Based Learning Purdue University Rutgers University United Technologies Corporation University City Science Center University of Pennsylvania University of Pittsburgh Virginia Tech Wharton Small Business Development Center

4 Goal, Vision, and Mission OVERALL GOAL: Reduce annual energy use in the Greater Philadelphia commercial buildings sector by 20 percent by VISION: Design, demonstrate and deploy market proven solutions in the Greater Philadelphia region so that the buildings sector accomplishes its full potential for ongoing energy efficiency. MISSION: Accomplish the goal through informed people, validated information, and proven technologies.

5 EEB Hub Objectives 1. Develop and deploy to the building industry a state-of-the-art modeling platform to integrate design, construction, commissioning, and operation 2. Demonstrate the market viability of integrating energy saving technologies for whole building solutions at the Navy Yard and elsewhere in the region. 3. Identify policies that accelerate market adoption of energy efficient retrofits of commercial buildings and support policy makers in the development of such policies in the Greater Philadelphia region. 4. Inform, train, and educate people who design, own, construct, maintain, or occupy buildings about proven energy saving strategies and technologies 5. Help launch ventures with new and existing companies that will exploit market opportunities for providing whole building energy saving solutions. 5

6 The EEB Hub is Focused on: Performing research needed to integrate disparate technologies into a building to optimize energy performance Researching and developing the technologies, models and analytical tools needed to do this better (where technical solutions do not currently exist or are not optimized) Demonstrating the results in buildings, measuring results, and cycling back to continue to optimize this whole building approach Scale solutions which involves cost considerations, job training, marketing, and policies among other issues 6

7 Issue: Energy Efficient Buildings and the Grid -- What s the Nexus? Energy efficiency and Smart grid strategies currently divided by different goals, strategies, technology and constituencies Reality: Energy efficient buildings and building to grid strategies should be better integrated to improve outcome and benefits Proposed Approach: Energy efficiency should be standard first step in a continuum that can include active load management and market leverage 7

8 Current and Future Areas of EEB Hub and GridSTAR Collaboration Education and training engage and educate the market Example: electricity price ticker Policy data access issues and utility and regulator engagement Example: Regional utility data access working group Behavior research load management impact on occupants Example: Hub-LPT smart grid buildings study Technology integration leveraging system design, controls, ECMs Example: Building 101, load shifting and management Economic and business model integration Example: Navy Yard Energy Master Plan, Enernoc 8
