1 1 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC) For Energy Efficient Buildings: Approach and Expectations Richard Karney Building Technologies Program U.S. Department of Energy October 27, 2011

2 2 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov Energy and Buildings Source: Buildings Energy Data Book (BED) 2009

3 3 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov The Building Technologies Program at the U.S. Department of Energy aims to… –Develop and promote efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly technologies, systems, and practices for our nation’s residential and commercial buildings –Foster economic prosperity, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increase national energy security –Simultaneously provide the energy-related services and performance expected from our buildings BTP Supports Energy Efficiency from Inception to Deployment

4 4 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov Our vision is to improve the efficiency of existing and new buildings through the development of energy efficiency technologies, strategies, and practices Our primary goal is to develop technologies, techniques, and tools for making residential and commercial buildings more energy efficient, productive, and affordable Immediate and future strategies must focus on integrated approaches in order to accomplish our goal BTP Vision, Goals, and Strategy will Direct Program Efforts & Help Lead to Success BTP’s Integrated Approach Increasing Energy Efficiency (Metrics) Number of Unit Sales Research & Development -Advance Technologies -Develop integrated building approaches Market Stimulation -Increase market pull from private industry -Support ENERGY STAR® Codes & Standards -Continually raise the efficiency bar -Expand product portfolio Vision & Goals

5 5 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov Six Federal agencies are working together to leverage funding and resources to promote regional growth (DOE, DOC/NIST, SBA, DOL, DOEd, and NSF) Holistic, systems approach to science and technology and will act as an integrator of basic and applied R&D Develop and demonstrate sustainable and efficient models for attaining national strategic objectives Co-located, multidisciplinary team of researchers to speed R&D and shorten path to technological development and commercial deployment Research Planning » The HUB On February 12, 2010, the Obama Administration announced a multi-agency funding opportunity to support an Energy Regional Innovation Cluster (E-RIC).

6 6 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov "The Energy Innovation Hubs are a key part of our effort to harness the power of American ingenuity to achieve transformative energy breakthroughs. By bringing together some of our brightest minds, we can develop cutting-edge building energy efficiency technologies that will reduce energy bills, cut carbon pollution, and create jobs. This important investment will help Philadelphia become a leader in the global clean energy economy." -Secretary Chu

7 7 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov Philadelphia Navy Yard The Navy Yard is a project of the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, a private, not-for-profit Pennsylvania corporation founded in 1958 by the City of Philadelphia and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce to promote economic development throughout the city. Building 661

8 8 | Building Technologies Programbuildings.energy.gov –Transform the commercial building retrofit and new construction processes into a systems delivery industry and demonstrate building operational energy savings of 50% by 2013-2015 in a scalable, repeatable and cost effective manner across a broad range of building types in existing building stock, while preserving workplace quality. –Provide continuous monitoring & data feedback for improvement of integrated design models and simulations –Formulation of public policies that provide incentives to the building industry & owner/occupants to develop & operate highly energy efficient buildings –Establish primary, secondary, community college and in-service work force education programs that create new, high-quality, sustainable US jobs in the building industry GPIC Energy Efficient Buildings Goals
