Best Practices Matthew Henson HOPE VI

Matthew Henson History of the Matthew Henson Property Named after Matthew Henson, the African American explorer, who co-discovered the North Pole on April 6, 1909

The Matthew Henson

Matthew Henson HOPE VI Project Specifics • The project began in 2001 • $35 million federal HOPE VI grant provided through HUD • Public, private and non-profit financial and in-kind support from various partners involved in the revitalization effort. • McCormack, Baron, Salazar has overseen the development process since 2002 and McCormack, Baron, Ragan facilitates the leasing process.

Team Approach

Water Efficiency Water Efficient Landscaping Reclaimed Water Native Plants Capture Rainwater

Energy and Atmosphere Source: USGBC

Energy and Atmosphere Energy Star Home 1. Effective Insulation 2. High Performance Windows 3. Tight Construction Ducts 4. Efficient Heating and Cooling 5. Lighting and Appliances 6. 3rd Party Verification Note: These homes are 15% more efficient than 2004 Int. Res. Code (IRC)

Energy and Atmosphere Energy & Atmosphere • The average certified LEED home uses 30% to 40% less electricity • LEED homes save up to 100 metric tons of CO2 emissions over its lifetime. • Exceed ASHREA 90.1 by 15%

Energy and Atmosphere Average Predicted Energy Savings of LEED Homes Based on their average Home Energy Rating System (HERS) scores, homes certified under LEED for Homes since the program launched in January 2008 are predicted, on average, to have the potential for reduced energy usage compared with International Energy Conservation Code standards: LEED-Certified LEED-Silver LEED-Gold LEED-Platinum ~30% ~30% 48% 50-60%

Energy and Atmosphere Upgraded Stucco System Feature: • Blue DOW Stucco Foam Benefit: • 15% better R- Value to the System

Energy and Atmosphere Thermally Broken Windows Feature: • Installed with special low E glass with 1” inch air gap between dual panes. Benefit: • Reduce Heat Transfer and allows natural light

Energy and Atmosphere Spray In Recycled Insulation Roof: R-38 Walls: R-21 Floors: R-13 Benefit: Increased insulating quality by 15% over conventional insulation. First Cost & Long-term Savings Insulation – Go with the Best

Energy and Atmosphere Energy Efficient HVAC Systems Feature: • All units have 13 SEER heat pumps in lieu of 10 SEER • Youth and Management buildings 16 SEER Benefit: • Saves residents 5% - 10% in utility costs annually. • Saves Youth and Management buildings between 15% - 20% in cooling costs per year.

Energy and Atmosphere Building Efficient Duct System • Ducts in conditioned space • Sealed Ducts by using mastic or UL tapes • Insulated Ducts • Right Sized Ducts (ACCA Guidelines)

Energy and Atmosphere Substantially lower overall payback period •State and Federal Tax reductions •AZ Dept of Commerce + Electric Utilities – APS, SRP, TEP •Installation credits; installed watt credits •Yearly credits; Production based credits •Accelerated depreciation •General rules of thumb at this time: •50% to 70% overall cost reduction •Federal Tax incentive now at 30%, may go to 10% at YE

Energy and Atmosphere APS Residential AC Rebate Program • The APS Residential Air Conditioner (AC) Rebate Program offers rebates to APS residential customers who replace their existing heat pump or AC unit with a new high-efficiency system. Efficiency requirements and rebate amounts are shown below. Minimum Efficiency Levels – APS Rebate Amount • SEER 14 = $250 • SEER 16 = $400 Note: Add $100 if installed by a APS Qualified Contractor

Energy and Atmosphere Residential Solar and Renewable Incentives System type Up-front incentive with 20 year REC agreement Photovoltaic systems – Grid tied Up to $3/watt*4000 watt (4kW) – Grid Tied system installed. $3 x 4000 watts = $12,000 incentive – Off grid Up to $2/watt* Solar water heating $0.75/kWh savings – Water heater with first year savings of 1800 kWh based on OG-300 rating. $0.75 x 1800 kWh = $1,350 incentive Wind Energy – Grid tied $2.50/watt 5000 watt (5kW) Grid Tied system installed. $2.50 x 5000 watts = $12,500 incentive – Off grid $2/watt Up-front Incentives cannot exceed 50 percent of the total system cost (before any state and federal tax credits are applied).

Energy and Atmosphere Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs is one of the easiest ways to start making an impact on your energy bills. Facts: • ENERGY STAR bulbs use 75 percent less energy • Save more than $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb • Bulbs last up to 10 times longer • Operate at cooler temps – increasing indoor comfort

LEED Checklists

Costing Green

Does LEED Cost More? The industry is providing 2 short answers: No, If your definition of cost includes; – Life Cycle Cost Analysis » “We are now at a point where you can build to LEED standards and it is not one penny more than conventional building”. Rick Fedrizzi CEO USGBC • Yes, If your definition of cost is only based on; – First Cost Analysis

Sample Life Cycle Cost Analysis Source: USGBC
