PNNL’s recommendations on changes to the VBEEC

Presentation
Authors:
Mark Halverson,
Meredydd Evans

Buildings currently account for over 35% of Vietnam’s total energy consumption. Buildings codes could result in 30-40% buildings energy savings. The Vietnam Building Energy Code (VBEEC) was introduced in 2013 and now scheduled for revision in 2016.

In 2016, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) provided the following key recommendations for the revision of the Vietnam Building Energy Efficiency Code (VBEEC):

Setting up a formal energy code development process

Presentation
Authors:
Meredydd Evans,
Mark Halverson

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is a leading organization globally on building energy codes and standards. PNNL has served as the technical lead for DOE’s Building Energy Codes Program in the U.S. and worked on building energy codes in many countries including Vietnam, India, China, and Russia.

Toolkit: Building energy efficiency policies

Presentation
Authors:
Philip Cornell

The content of these slides was to identify, prioritise and quantify these policy options for interventions to rapidly increase energy efficiency during the change of government and the incoming government. The purpose is to teach emerging professionals in the emerging economies about building energy efficiency policies that can be used to reduce energy use in buildings. This course will include information that has been examined in IEA’s policy pathway series and the sustainable buildings book.  Trainers: Brian Dean, Ksenia Petrichenko and Adam Hinge

What are the steps? Set targets and develop policies

Presentation
Authors:
Philip Cornell

The content discussed how to go about developing policies that prioritised energy efficiency for building by consulting with key stakeholders. The purpose of the slides is to teach emerging professionals in the emerging economies about how targets and policies can be used in tandem to meet energy and development goals. This course will provide examples of how targets have been created to meet targets and how country goals can be met by setting targets and complementary building energy efficiency policies.

Overview of stakeholders participation in adoption & implementation of building energy codes

Presentation
Authors:
Volha Roshchanka,
Meredydd Evans

This presentation shows a brief overview of some of the principles and practices and stakeholder engagement related to building energy codes. It also includes a brief example of the Australian government that has engaged in code assessment. There's a commitment to continually engage with stakeholders, both through the development and revision process, technical committees, working groups, and the stakeholder surveys that they've done recently to understand implementation.

Energy codes 101: benefits for the residential real estate industry

Presentation
Authors:
Alison Lindburg

Building energy codes lay out the minimum requirements for the envelope (insulation, windows and air sealing), mechanical equipment and lighting of a building (residential and commercial) in terms of energy efficiency/conservation for new construction or major renovations. National model energy codes are updated every three years to incorporate continual improvements in building efficiency in a collaborative, transparent process by a diverse group of stakeholders.

Building energy policy in NYC: the existing building challenge

Presentation
Authors:
Gina Bocra

This is a presentation for U.S. Department of Energy 2017 National energy codes conference July 18—20, 2017 Pittsburgh, PA. USA. 

The slides presented a case study about the impact of carbon policy changes in NYC on the existing buildings and energy code in NYC. 

As a result, several other existing building codes and policies in NYC has to be amended accordingly:

Slide presentation documenting fundamentals of building technologies and energy efficiency products to reduce energy use in buildings.

Trainers: John Dulac and Brian Dean 

Toolkit: Enabling investment with energy efficiency policies

Presentation
Authors:
Brian Dean,
Autiff Sayyed

The slides were to teach the fundamentals of energy efficiency policies that can be used to reduce energy use in buildings and how energy efficiency policies can enable effective investment and finance for energy efficiency in buildings. 

Resilience at US Green Building Council (USGBC)

Presentation
Authors:
United States Green Building Council

The powerpoint presentation gives an overview of how resilience could align with USGBC's mission. Outline of the resilience-enhancing strategies within LEED and each of GBCI's rating systems, links to USGBC resilience collateral, etc. LEED, PEER, SITES, RELi, GRESB and LEED for Cities (including STAR). The building codes in GBCI are aligned with LEED Cities, which aims to achieve sustainability goals outline with the policies. STAR aims at achieving practical engagements with the community about actions on 'climate change guide'.

Mapping of existing technologies to enhance energy efficiency in buildings in the UNECE region (presentation)

Presentation
Authors:
Kankana Dubey,
Andrey Dodonov

A workshop on validation of preliminary results of mapping of existing technologies to enhance energy efficiency buildings, including gap analysis and recommendations for their use in the region is held under the auspices of the Joint Task Force on Energy Efficiency Standards in Buildings and serves as the third meeting of the Joint Task Force. The Committee on Sustainable Energy and the Committee on Housing and Land Management established the Joint Task Force on Energy Efficiency Standards in Buildings in 2015.

Did it work: Evaluating the multiple benefits of energy efficiency

Presentation
Authors:
International Energy Agency,
BEEP,
UCL Energy Institute

The presentation guide policymakers on the fundamentals of how to evaluate both energy and non-energy benefits (the multiple benefits) of energy efficiency for buildings. Previous case studies that have been completed were compared to evaluate the monetised value of energy efficiency measures using numerous categories for multiple benefits.

Trainers: Brian Dean and John Dulac
