Importance of Performance While good design is important, performance is essential Environment and wallet are impacted by actual performance, not design Recent criticisms of LEED building performance
LEED Building Performance Data New Building Institute Energy Performance of LEED for New Construction Buildings released March 08 Requested data from LEED certified buildings and analyzed usage against model and average building stock
LEED-NC vs CBECS EUI LEED buildings are performing better than the average building stock
EUI by EAc1 Point (all and offices) Although the ranges in performance is large, actual energy use g g p g, gy intensity does decrease with increased EAc1 points.
Measured vs Proposed Savings Percentages and EUIs Proposed savings averaged 25% while measured savings averaged Proposed savings averaged 25% while measured savings averaged 28%. Many buildings met anticipated consumption levels, some exceeded anticipation, while others failed to meet them.
Measured Savings and Related Credits Achievement of credits does not ensure significantly increased savings. Also consider Adv Cx and M&V s impact of actual vs measured. The intensity and implementation may have a more significant impact.
Reasons for Performance Gaps Models are built on assumptions Usage levels/schedules may change Behavioral impacts (thermostats, lights, etc) Systems modeled as perfect/functional Implementation Aggressive commissioning needed Weatherization important difficult to model More complicated buildings Advanced controls Complex schedules
LEED Rating System On the whole, measured performance of LEED buildings better than the CBECS averages and anticipated levels A significant portion of LEED buildings are not performing well Corrective actions Better, more realistic modeled assumptions More aggressive commissioning and Measurement & Verification Sustained operation must emphasize energy Knowledgeable and assertive users New LEED projects must submit 5 years of performance data
LEED Influence How do non-leed buildings compare in their proposed to measured performance? LEED helps argument for verification, gives building better chance to succeed LEED is not solely about energy efficiency
