9. Steven Winter Associates, Inc Building Systems Consultants What if we Miscalculate?

10. Steven Winter Associates, Inc Building Systems Consultants Urban Horizons NYC: Recommendations $150,000 Energy Cost Savings <5 Year Payback Water Saving Devices New Toilets Lighting Retrofit Refrigerators Airsealing Ventilation System New Heat and DHW Systems Combined Heat & Power

11. Steven Winter Associates, Inc Building Systems Consultants High Performance Building Design Strategies Design and build a better building envelope Build tight, ventilate right Size the HVAC to the building load (math required) Reduce avenues for water penetration Specify high efficiency HVAC, appliances, & lighting Specify materials with fewer pollutants Reduce water usage in buildings No unproven technologies, gadgets, or high costs

12. Steven Winter Associates, Inc Building Systems Consultants Why Do We Miss All of This Stuff? Few pre-design team meetings, if any Engineers and architects not talking Consultants who dont focus on the building first Neglecting to bring management and maintenance staff into design meetings Lack of pre-CD energy modeling

13. Steven Winter Associates, Inc Building Systems Consultants Most Common Missed Details in Drawings/Specs Airsealing (firestopping?) Sealing and flashing of penetrations Inspecting of insulation prior to sheetrock Duct sealing and balancing Sizing of HVAC equipment to load Water use devices (aerators, showerheads, toilets)

14. Steven Winter Associates, Inc Building Systems Consultants Oh, yeah, HVAC system selection…….. Who was it that thought air source heat pumps were a good idea in Boston?

15. Steven Winter Associates, Inc Building Systems Consultants Historic Case Study: Cambridge, MA Domestic Hot Water Thermal efficiency <65% Retrofit high efficiency combined heating and hot water heating system and reduce hot water temperature to 120ºF Water Showerheads, faucet aerators, toilets Ventilation Move thermostatic controls Test and balance system Windows $1,100 per window replacement not cost- effective
