This presentation draws a relationship between BREEAM credits and available tax incentives. I presented this information to the key Bausch and Lomb stakeholders that decided whether or not to pursue BREEAM certification for the renovation of a European building.
Delivering an Energy Model for BREEAM and LEED – Exposing What Really Matters...IES VE
This presentation looks at the technical perspectives of delivering an energy model for both the purposes of different regulatory frameworks; LEED and BREEAM. The technical focus will be upon the metrics used and design strategies that affect the performance, certification and rating of buildings.

Optimization of Energy Efficiency and Conservation in Green Building Design U...Totok R Biyanto
The development of green building has been growing in terms of both design and quality. The development of green building bariered by the issue of expensive investment. Actually, green building can reduce energy usage in the building especially in utilization of cooling system. External load plays as major role of reduction in the use of the cooling system. External load is affected by type of wall sheathing, glass and roof. The proper selection of wall, type of glass and roof material are very important to reduce external load. Hence, the optimization of energy efficiency and conservation in green building design is required. Since this optimization consist of integer and non-linear equations, this problem fall into Mixed-Integer-Non-Linear-Programming (MINLP) that required global optimization technique such as stochastic optimization algorithms. In this paper the optimized variables i.e. type of glass and roof were chosen using Duelist, Killer-Whale and Rain-Water Algorithms to obtain the optimum energy and considering the minimal investment. The optimization results exhibited the single glass Planibel-G with the 3.2 mm thickness and glasswool insulation provided maximum ROI of 36.8486%, EUI reduction of 54 kWh/m2·year, CO2 emission reduction of 486.8971 tons/year and reduce investment of 4,078,905,465 IDR.

Program and Policy Innovations at the Water Energy Nexus, presented by Meredith Younghein at the Electrochemical Energy Summit in San Francisco on October 27.
A new design system is introduced to generate clean eco-friendly electricity from rain fall water. The majority of traffic
roads in the world has constructed water ditches for one aim. This is for the accumulation of rain fall water from the roads.
Funding Infrastructure Investments with Guaranteed PerformanceSchneider Electric
Municipalities are dealing with numerous financial constraints, and trying to improve or expand systems is often trumped by maintaining deteriorating assets. Discover the potential benefits of Performance Contracting (PC). PC is an alternate delivery method to the traditional CIP process for the implementation of operational cost saving and energy saving projects. While the PC process has been used extensively in municipal buildings for decades -- primarily for HVAC and lighting improvements -- it has only recently begun to be used by water and wastewater utilities for process-centric improvements to treatment plants, pump/lift stations and other assets.
The following example describes the design and application of an electromagnetic flowmeter, BATCHFLUX. This type of flow meter has been specially developed for volumetric filling machines in close co-operation with leading machine manufacturers.
5. British Tax Incentives Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) Energy 100% tax relief on identified energy saving products Water 100% tax relief on identified water conservation products
6. British Tax Incentives Feed-in-tariffs Generation Tariff: “a payment for every kWh of electricity generated” Generation Tariff: “a payment for any electricity that is exported to the grid.”
7. Where tax incentives can help ENE1 – Reduction of CO2 emissions (15 Credits): BREEAM: Up to 15 credits will be awarded based on the buildings Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Refurbished buildings must score 15 on the EPC in order to receive 15 credits. New buildings must score 0. ECA: “There are two types of solar thermal collector that are specified as energy saving under the ECA scheme. Within these, further sub-division can be made: Glazed flat plate collectors Evacuated tube collectors electric heating Direct flow Heat pipe collectors.”
8. Where tax incentives can help ENE4 – External Lighting (1 credit): BREEAM: “External light fittings are controlled through a time switch, or daylight sensor, to prevent operation during daylight hours. Daylight sensor override on a manually switched lighting circuit is acceptable.” ECA: “Daylight detectors with associated dimming controllers that monitor daylight availability and automatically dim lighting to the level needed” are eligible for tax credits.
9. Where tax incentives can help ENE5 – Low or Zero Carbon Technologies (3 Credits): BREEAM: “A local LZC energy technology has been installed….and this method of supply results in a 15% reduction in the building’s CO2 emissions.” ECA: “There are two types of solar thermal collector that are specified as energy saving under the ECA scheme. Within these, further sub-division can be made: Glazed flat plate collectors Evacuated tube collectors electric heating Direct flow Heat pipe collectors.”
10. Where tax incentives can help WAT1 – Water Consumption (3 Credits): BREEAM: WCs, urinals, taps, and showers are used to determine water consumption for the building. The more water that is saved results in higher credit awards. ECA: Eligible taps, toilets, and flow controllers are available, and tax incentives apply. Note: Rainwater Harvesting systems are eligible for tax incentive, these systems will significantly reduce potable water demand in bathrooms. Rainwater Harvesting Systems also apply to other BREEAM credits.
11. Where tax incentives can help WAT2 – Water Meter (1 Credit) BREEAM: “The specification of a water meter on the mains water supply to each building; this includes instances where water is supplied via a borehole or other private source. The water meter has a pulsed output to enable connection to a Building Management System (BMS) for the monitoring of water consumption.” ECA: Water flow meters & monitoring equipment & water management software products are available for tax credits
12. Where tax incentives can help WAT3 - Major Leak Detection (1 credit) BREEAM: “Audible when activated. Activated when the flow of water passes through the water meter/data logger at a flow rate above a pre-set maximum for a pre-set period of time. Able to identify different flow and therefore leakage rates, e.g. continuous, high and/or low level, over set time periods. Programmable to suit the owner/occupiers’ water consumption criteria. Where applicable, designed to avoid false alarms caused by normal operation of large water-consuming plant such as chillers.” ECA: Leak detection products include: data loggers, pressure reducing valve controllers, remote meter reading and leak warning devices
13. Where tax incentives can help POL6 - Watercourse Pollution (1 credit): BREEAM: “Specification of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDs) or source control systems such as permeable surfaces or infiltration trenches where run-off drains are in areas with a relatively low risk source of watercourse pollution.” ECA: Rainwater harvesting equipment including control, filtration, and storage products are available for tax incentives.
15. Conclusion The British government will able to help you reach up to 2/3 of your goal of completing a BREEAM certified building by offering tax incentives on all qualified products. There is a revenue opportunity by going solar. The British government will pay you to generate your own electricity.
16. Considerations Is there a cap on how many ECA credits can be claimed in a year? Are the items you are currently being quoted for on the ETL list at the ECA website? There are other tax incentives available for items that wouldn’t be eligible for BREEAM credits, the tax credits from these purchases could offset other architectural or engineering decisions that will guarantee BREEAM credits.
