These slides, created for the 2018 Better Buildings by Design conference, were presented by Jenna Antonino-Dimare and Jennifer Green from Burlington 2030 District, Curt McCormack from Vermont House of Representatives, and Gretchen Schimelpfenig from Cx Associates. This presentation discusses what the 2030 District Movement is, the reasons for Burlington's participation in the 2030 Districts Network, the current status of the Burlington 2030 District, and future goals and plans.

While individual buildings will have specific opportunities for resource reductions, a
district approach provides the opportunity for a number of innovative and
integrative opportunities and efficiencies of scale.

+ Building Energy Services Process
Property Owner/Manager District Member Resources
1.) Property owner/manager survey + interview: owner perspective, capitals plans, equipment, etc.
Service provided by Burlington 2030 District staff for first 10 District properties
2.) Establish baseline: benchmark property owner/manager‘s building
Service provided by Burlington 2030 District staff for first 10 District properties
3.) Calculate necessary total reduction for property owner/manager’s building based on 2030 District goals:
Service provided by Burlington 2030 District staff for first 10 District properties
4.) Property Energy Plan (PEP): summary of findings prepared and shared with property owner/manager,
Burlington Electric Department (BED) and Vermont Gas (VGS)
Service provided by Burlington 2030 District staff for first 10 District properties
5.) Building walk through via Burlington Electric Department (BED) and Vermont Gas (VGS)

37. BENCHMARKING
The process of measuring a property’s energy use over &me
by….
collec&ng property characteris&cs and energy consump&on, entering data the Energy Star Poraolio
Manager online plaaorm, and genera&ng an Energy Use Intensity (EUI) value for the property.
• Benchmarking results can inspire owners to take ac&on and inform next steps that can provide
further energy use reduc&ons.
• By con&nuously benchmarking a poraolio of proper&es and tracking property EUIs and Energy Star
scores, an owner can:
• Establish baseline energy performance
• Compare similar buildings in their poraolio
• Inform performance goals and energy management plans
• Compile and track consump&on over &me
• Iden&fy the best candidates for efficiency investments
• Priori&ze energy efficiency investments
• Track the impact of efficiency improvements

This analysis used building information supplied by the owner and energy use data supplied by participating utilities.
Energy use intensity (EUI) signifies the amount of energy a building consumes per square foot per year. EUI is measured in
thousands of BTUs per square foot per year (kBtu/ft2/year). Buildings in the 2030 District seek to achieve EUIs that are
significantly lower than the regional baseline for their building type.

Property Energy Plan (PEP): CCM Building
PROPERTY OVERVIEW
The CCM Building is a four-story building located on the
Champlain College campus along Maple Street. Part of a 2015
addition to the existing Hauke Center and Alumni Auditorium, the
Division of Communication and Creative Media building provides
faculty offices and classrooms, video game and graphic design
labs, studio spaces, a sound filmmaking and broadcast media
production stage, art gallery and a collaborative media hub.
PROPERTY ENERGY REPORT
BUILDING OWNER SURVEY FINDINGS
Strengths
1. Geothermal heat pump and energy recovery system for central heating and cooling
2. Actively managed building automation system (BAS) and lighting control system
3. Nighttime setbacks and schedules implemented
4. Demand controlled ventilation
Opportunities
1. Commission geothermal heat pump and energy recovery system to ensure optimal performance
2. Retro-commission BAS to verify sensor accuracy and review historical trend logs
3. Independently verify the performance of the lighting controls system to ensure proper functionality
4. Resolve reporting issues for energy management platform to better understand usage and impacts
5. Offset up to 20% of the property’s energy consumption using renewable energy sources1
1 There is no limit to how much energy use can be offset with renewable energy sources. However, the 2030 Challenge
only gives credit for 20% of total energy usage reductions from renewable energy generation.
PROPERTY SNAPSHOT
Owner: Champlain College
Address: 375 Maple Street
Square footage: 87,187 (excluding parking)
Building use: College / University
Year constructed: 2015
2017 Site EUI: 49
The property is using 47% less energy than
the Education property type baseline, and is on
track to achieve the 2030 energy reduction
goal.
The 2017 EUI of 49 kBtu/ft2/year represents a
7% increase in energy consumption over the
same period in 2016 (weather normalized).
This may be a result of increased building use
or it could be an indication of other
opportunities for increased energy efficiency,
reduced operating costs, and further
contribution to the 2030 District’s goals.
