4. Today’s Brazilian Operating Realities
• Organizations are focused on doing more with less
– Productivity, cost reduction are orders of the day
– Access to cash and credit remains challenging
– No appetite for capital investments without clear payback
• National energy use growing at >7% YOY (EPE-Empresa de
Pesquisa de Energia)
• Brazil has world’s 4th highest national energy costs (Firjan)
• Buildings consume 42% of Brazil’s electricity (Min M.E.-Brasil)
and cause 30% of CO2 emissions (ONU-United Nations)
• Energy equals ~40% of a building’s operating costs
• There’s an increase in public policy activity aimed at:
– Reducing energy consumption and protecting the environment (Procel-
Edifica)
– Building on Brazil’s high ranking (5th in the world) in LEED Certification
construction (GBC-Brazil)
Unprecedented challenges in our energy and operating environments

5. Opportunities for Energy Conservation in Brazil
Comfort
Safety
Efficiency
“Despite having had an energy efficiency program (PROCEL) since
1985 and a thriving ESCO (energy service companies) industry, an
estimated $2.5 billion (U.S.) in potential energy efficiency
improvements remain untapped (in Brazil) every year.”
The World Bank
Great potential in high performance green building approach

6. High Performance Buildings Defined
High performance buildings:
• Are safe, comfortable and efficient
• Help owners and occupants achieve their business mission
• Follow LEED and Green Building Council – Brazil guidelines
• Meet specific standards for energy and water use, system
reliability and uptime, environmental compliance, occupant
comfort and safety and other success factors
High performance buildings deliver optimal
efficiency, reliability, value and comfort
6 Achieving Superior Performance for Life

7. HPB- A Whole Lifecycle Approach
• Aligned with LEED and GBC-B standards
• Standards based on desired performance levels
and industry benchmarks are typically set for:
– Energy and water consumption
– System reliability
– Environmental compliance
– Occupant health, safety and comfort
• Typical buildings have occupied lives of 50-75
years or longer
• Operating costs typically account for 60-85% of
building lifecycle costs – compared to 5-10% for
design and construction costs
• Performance standards are measured and
continually validated to deliver the desired
outcomes
Sizeable opportunities to improve the performance of existing structures
7 Achieving Superior Performance for Life

8. Service Innovations Enable Performance for Life
Holistic, technology-enabled, knowledge-based approach is integral to
establishing and sustaining standards throughout a building’s occupied lifespan
• Embracing predictive building maintenance strategies
• Establishing and maintaining sound operating metrics
• Adopting performance-based service concepts
A poorly designed building operated and maintained effectively outperforms a
well-designed building with poor operating and maintenance practices

10. Focus on Retrofit Opportunities
Improving existing buildings’ performance for life
• Improving performance of existing buildings offers huge
opportunity for Brazilian owners and operators
• Energy efficiency improvements can yield 20-50% savings
• 15-to-1 return on investment including occupant health,
energy savings and operational savings (GBC-Brazil)
• Ability to reduce buildings’ environmental impact
• Proven technology, low risk retrofit approaches and
financing are available to public and private entities
• Critical building system audits identify the right approach to
implementing high performance for life
Huge opportunity to improve performance of existing buildings
10 Achieving Superior Performance for Life

11. Conduct a Critical Building Systems Audit
• Assemble a team
• Choose a qualified energy services
partner with experience in Brazil
• Define program objectives
– Reduce operating costs
– Increase operational
performance
– Improve occupant comfort and
safety
– Enhance employee productivity
– Achieve environmental
certification
Build an energy management team with buy-in from key internal stakeholders,
including owners, managers and department heads

12. What Kinds of Changes Make Financial Sense?
Quick Return Intermediate Long-Term
(0-2 yr payback) (2-4 yr payback)
Update existing building Install new building Replace high efficiency
automation systems automation system equipment (major systems
chiller/boilers)
Conduct energy/critical Improve HVAC systems Improve building envelope
systems audit (constant -variable
volume)
Make behavioral changes Implement water Apply renewable
(turn lights off, program conservation technologies
systems)
Explore utility procurement Use fans and motors Apply on site/distributive
options (VFDs, high efficiency power generation
change outs)
Check, inspect and repair Apply load shifting Implement comprehensive
equipment technology (ice storage) maintenance strategies
Taking a lifecycle, whole-building approach offers the best long-term ROI
