Much like capital plans and building condition assessments, Energy Audits and Energy Management Plans are becoming essential tools for building owners to evaluate, plan, prioritize, and implement projects that impact capital and operating budgets.
The Save On Energy Audit Funding Program helps owners capitalize on incentives to better understand energy use in buildings and to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs whether it’s through equipment replacement, optimizing the operation of existing equipment, or improving operational practices.
This event will highlight what audit incentive programs are available and provide some tips for getting the most value out of the audit process. Industry experts will be on hand to answer your questions.
The definition of a “green” building is often in the eye of the beholder. Rating or certifying a green building helps to remove that subjectivity. Rating a green building informs tenants and the public about the environmental benefits of a property, and discloses the additional innovation and effort the owner has invested to achieve a high performance building.
At the PPS Spring Conference in San Francisco Ed Arnold, VP of Products at LeveragePoint, delivered his presentation "Anyone Can Build a Value Model: Let Me Show You How". Designed to help the audience make better strategic decisions for their organization, he discussed:
- Key concepts for building a value model
- How to use value models to make strategic decisions and craft marketing messages

Webinar: Reduce Your Building Operating Costs with Energy DataUrjanet
It takes timely, high quality data to achieve the insights needed to identify cost reduction opportunities for your buildings. But where do you start? How do you collect utility data then use it to benchmark for sustainability reporting and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions?
In Urjanet's webinar “Reduce Building Operating Costs With Energy Data” we discuss how to cut operating costs at the building level and across all the facilities within your organization. This session features Chris Happ, CEO of Goby LLC. Goby’s SaaS-based SeaSuite™ platform allows its users to track sustainability in a single cloud-based interface. SeaSuite™ customers average 5-10% cost reductions just by tracking energy consumption.
“Goby’s SeaSuite™ customers can fight climate change through greater energy efficiency,” Happ said. “In order to achieve insights to cut carbon emissions, it takes accurate data from a facility’s monthly energy bills.”
Now, by partnering with Urjanet, Goby is enabling its SeaSuite™ users with access to near real-time, big data services that automate the collection, normalization and delivery of data from a rapidly growing list of more than 900 utility providers. Instead of relying on data entry clerks to manually input data, Urjanet’s proprietary platform aggregates data from thousands of sources to deliver it directly into applications such as SeaSuite™.
The webinar panel will also include Jerome Montrone, SVP of Beacon Capital, who will speak to how his team uses Goby’s technology powered with energy data to help improve performance. He is currently overseeing the sustainability and energy programs for Beacon’s entire US and European Portfolio, and completed more than 60 LEED projects including LEED NC GOLD Certification for Beacon’s Tour First property, the tallest building in France. His successful proprietary energy savings programs have led to significant reductions in Beacon’s carbon impact and energy use and were recognized by Beacon Capital Partners winning several ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year awards and a Sustained Excellence Award last year. He is also member of the Real Estate Round Table.

Low inventory woes: Is now the right time for rehabs?GaryPhinith
PROBLEM:
In the current real estate market, there is no shortage of prospective buyers who want to purchase a home and real estate agents who want to help them accomplish this goal. What there is a shortage of, however, is homes for sale.
Properties that are distressed financially or just in need of repair generally tend to sit on the market longer, as buyers often want a turnkey home. But with low inventory dogging the market, buyers may want to take a second look at purchasing a home in need of rehabilitation or repair.
SOLUTION:
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 203k loan helps homebuyers finance both the purchase and rehabilitation of a home with one mortgage. Although this underutilized loan product can help real estate agents get more of their clients into homes, they first need to know how it works and could help their buyers.

Altered Terrain: Colonial Encroachment and Environmental Changes in Cachar, A...PriyankaKilaniya
The beginning of colonial policy in the area was signaled by the British annexation of the Cachar district in southern Assam in 1832. The region became an alluring investment opportunity for Europeans after British rule over Cachar, especially after the accidental discovery of wild tea in 1855. Within this historical context, this study explores three major stages that characterize the evolution of nature. First, it examines the distribution and growth of tea plantations, examining their size and rate of expansion. The second aspect of the study examines the consequences of land concessions, which led to the initial loss of native forests. Finally, the study investigates the increased strain on forests caused by migrant workers' demands. It also highlights the crucial role that the Forest Department plays in protecting these natural habitats from the invasion of tea planters. This study aims to analyze the intricate relationship between colonialism and the altered landscape of Cachar, Assam, by means of a thorough investigation, shedding light on the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of this historical transformation.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
1. Green MIP Reduction
The Destination, and the Way to Get There
HUD-FHA MF Production Webinar, 8/25/2016
2. A Simple Formula:
Green Recognition + Energy Performance = MIP Reduction
Energy Performance
(annual ENERGY STAR score of 75+)
Green Recognition
(aka “certification” per Earthcraft, LEED,
National Green Building Standard, etc)
3. Green MIP Reduction
Green Recognition + Energy Performance = MIP Reduction
First let’s talk Energy Performance, because that’s HUD’s goal
How do we measure Energy Performance?
With An ENERGY STAR score:
A 1-100 index score created by EPA
Obtained from EPA’s Portfolio Manager benchmarking software
Reported in a standard form called a “Statement of Energy Performance” (SEP)
75 is the minimum score for MIP Reduction, meaning the property must perform in the
top quartile of its peers among a reference group of 500 properties separately surveyed
by EPA.
4. A Statement of Energy Performance
(SEP)
IS
ABOUT PAST PERFORMANCE
Available in several file formats,
including .pdf and .xls. The pdf is
standard and sufficient to prove
Energy Performance for MIP
reduction. But the CNA e Tool will
require the machine readable xls.
Results of a recent period of 12
consecutive, whole months of
metered energy consumption.
IS NOT
A modeling tool or predictor of
construction results
A diagnosis of performance, analysis
of equipment or report of use by
function (cooking, heating, cooling,
etc.)
Evidence of any Green Recognition
RELIABLE UNLESS CREATED FROM
VERIFIED, QUALITY DATA. Given
time a toddler can enter random #s
yielding a score, but HUD requires an
Energy Professional.
5. What Does an ENERGY STAR Score Do?
The score does:
Evaluate actual metered energy
use
Normalize for selected
characteristics: size, # units, #
floors, # units by floor level,
climate.
Compare a property to its peers as
described by a survey of a 500
property national sample
Does not:
Compare a property to others in
Portfolio Manager
Normalize for equipment choices
or quality or pricing of energy
Normalize for socio-economic
factors (affordable, market rate,
senior housing)
6. At What Time is the SEP required?
As a measure of 12 months past, SEP due dates vary by program
and level/content of construction:
SOA 220, 221,231 Sustaining Occupancy + 15 months, then annual
SOA 223 w/Retrofits Completion of Repairs + 15 months, then annual
SOA 223 NO Retrofits Endorsement +15 months, then annual
Knowledge of these dates is most crucial for Account Execs/OAMPO, but
Production staff need to understand, document and explain.
7. Proving Energy Performance…pretty
simple except for ONE BIG HUDache
GETTING QUALITY DATA, because:
Most tenants have separately metered utility accounts
Only a few utilities can report “whole building” data, combining tenant accounts to
protect tenant privacy
Many utilities cannot/will not provide landlords with tenant consumption data
Even when utilities can/will provide tenant data, tenants may refuse the required
permission
Even when tenant permission is embedded in lease provisions, turnover, vacancy and
record keeping are burdens to management requisite to uploading data to a Portfolio
Manager account
Fortunately, these conditions are changing for the better and we do have some
remedies
8. SEP Is Not Due ‘til Later, What’s the
Issue In Underwriting?
High Risk of Future Failure
PHYSICAL FAILURE- property does not
perform, score < 75
DATA COLLECTION FAILURE-owner
can’t provide data
Benchmarking is a new concept for
many owners
Attraction of 45 bps MIP Savings
Sugarcoats Future Data Challenges
Owners may not grasp what they
have promised to do
A valid agreement depends on mutual
understanding
The Underwriting Remedy
Require a “data collection plan” with
or before Firm Application
Shows owner understands data
needs, management procedures,
technical solutions
Details periodic steps and technology
to obtain, organize, store and report
data to Portfolio Manager
Details role & requirements of utility
providers
Details any needed tenant
cooperation and impact of turnover,
tenant resistance
9. What Data Is Needed to Get a MF Score?
Property Use Details
Gross Floor Area (accuracy
essential)
# Units
# Units# In hi-rise setting (10+
stories)
# in mid-rise setting (5-9 stories)
# in low rise setting (up to 4
stories)
Total # bedrooms
Whole Building Energy Use,
(the HUDache)
Metered use for existing properties
(modeled estimate for
construction)
12 full, consecutive months
All fuels
All tenant & common areas
Zip code of property, needed for weather normalization
10. Remedies for Data Collection
HUDaches
HUD Initiated Remedies:
HUD allows sampling of tenant
meters to reduce data collection
required
Provided that when/if larger share
or 100% of tenant data is available
it must be used
Owner Initiated Remedies:
Seek whole building data from utility
provider, preferably reported directly
to Portfolio Manager account
Install digital, remote reporting
master or sub metering devices to
report consumption
Arrange tenant permission for utility
provider to supply tenant data
Arrange tenant commitment to
provide utility consumption data
directly from monthly bill
11. HUD’s Interim Sampling Routine
If whole building data is available, it must be used
If not available then:
25% of Units, randomly selected, provided the following are proportionately
represented:
Unit types
Buildings
Each size (s.f.) and direction (N, E, S, W) of unit exterior wall elevation
Each building floor or level
Each materially different HVAC package
A properly selected sample may be repeated year to year
12. Basics of Data Collection Plans
Required With or Before Firm App
From “Terrific” to “Best We Can Do”
Utility providers provide “whole building” data
Even better, owner arranges for utility to direct report to owner’s Portfolio Manager
account
Install master or submeter system reporting to owner’s central data system
Cost may be limited by collecting an approved sample of tenant meters
Proposed ML/HN may require 100% master/sub metering in construction scenarios if
utilities do not provide whole building data
Obtain/maintain tenant permission for utility to release tenant data
Should detail utility provider forms, methods and lease addenda or other means of
tenant permission
Tenant participation may be limited to approved sample
Must address turnover, property management procedures
Obtain tenant commitment to provide data (bills) directly to owner
Same details as above
13. Summary of Energy Performance
Requirement
Provide Data Collection Plan
All SOA apps with proposed Green MIP Reduction
With or Before Firm Application
Deliver SEP documenting first year energy performance with ENERGY STAR
score 75+
SOA 220, 221, 231 Sustaining Occupancy + 15 months, then annual
SOA 223 w/Retrofits Completion of Repairs + 15 months, then annual
SOA 223 NO Retrofits Endorsement + 15 months, then annual
QUESTIONS??? COMMENTS
14. Now let’s talk about the other MIP Reduction requirement:
GREEN RECOGNITION
Owner selects a “Green Standard”
Owner plans construction to achieve GREEN RECOGNITION, or
Owner evidences prior achievement of GREEN RECOGNITION
Green MIP Reduction
Green Recognition + Energy Performance = MIP Reduction
15. When Must GREEN RECOGNITION BE
EARNED?
SOA 220, 221, 231 Substantial Completion + 3 months
SOA 223 w Retrofits Completion of Repairs + 3 months
SOA 223 No Retrofits With/before Firm Application
Basic idea: The only reason for delay is that construction/retrofits are
required. The “Green Standards” are mostly intended as a building code
overlay to regulate construction or renovation.
16. Which Green Standard is Appropriate?
New Construction & Gut Rehab:
Energy Star High Rise
Energy Star HOME
LEED Home/LO/Mid Rise
LEED High Rise
Green Point Rated New Home MF
Passive House
Enterprise Green Communities
Earthcraft House (townhouse/rowhouse)
Earthcraft MF
Earth Advantage
National Green Building Standard
Living Building Challenge
17. Which Green Standard is Appropriate?
Substantial Rehab & 223(f) with
Repairs > 223(a)(7) Limit
Enterprise Green Communities
Earthcraft House (townhouse/rowhouse)
Earthcraft MF
Earth Advantage
National Green Building Standard
Living Building Challenge
Green Point Rated Existing Home-MF
Whole Building
EnerPHit
18. Which Green Standard is Appropriate?
223(f) w Repairs<= 223(a)(7) limits &
All 223(a)(7)
Green Point Rated Existing Home-MF Whole
Building
Energy Star Existing Buildings
LEED for Existing (EBOM)
NOTE: Properties with no Retrofits must have
have earned GREEN RECOGNITION prior to
Firm Application
19. Some Green Standards Only Recognize
Certain Building Types, Categories, Locations
Regional standards, location
Green Point Rated Existing Home – MF Whole Building, California
Earthcraft House (Townhouse or Rowhouse) Southeast, hot, humid zone
Earthcraft MF, Southeast, hot, humid zone
Earth Advantage, Oregon, Washington
Building Type, usually evident in the Standard name
Low rise, high rise, number of stories
Property Use, e.g. Enterprise Green (affordable housing)
Owner’s selection must be appropriate
20. Underwriting Issues for Concept
Meeting (SOA 220, 221, 231)
What Green Recognition will be earned?
Does it fit the circumstances?
Who is on the Design Team?
Architect, Energy Professional, Standard Keeper or verifier
Experience with proposed Green Recognition
21. Underwriting Issues for Pre-app (SOA
220, 221, 231)
What Are the Design & Construction Milestones for Green
Recognition? Expected Dates?
If renovation, who will conduct energy audit and when?
What modeling procedure & software will be used?
Anticipated scope of work, and if renovation, key retrofits
Plan to meter all spaces/uses to support future data
collection
22. Underwriting Issues for Firm
Confirm requirements for GREEN RECOGNITION are included, acknowledged,
in construction documents
Drawings, Plans, Specifications
Architect’s Certification
Energy Professional (for lesser retrofits)
Evidence of Standard keeper review/approval/acceptance
Describe construction progress QA milestones and incorporate these in
Construction Schedule
To be built/retrofitted property should be modeled to estimate energy
consumption
Modeling results must be scored, Portfolio Manager, ENERGY STAR Score
Plans/retrofits should score successfully with a margin for error
Methods & plan for future data collection
