Track: Modeling Throughout the Building Life Cycle
Sponsor: 7.6 Building Energy Performance, 7.5 Smart Building Systems
Chair: Scott Hackel, P.E., Member, Seventhwave, Madison, WI
With interest of driving real energy usage continually lower in new buildings and renovations, there is a growing trend to procure buildings using performance requirements such as EUI. Performance-based procurement is now being used by many large owners including federal, state and local governments, healthcare and even developers. All actors in the procurement, design, construction and operations of the building must have some focus on the building’s eventual EUI. And energy modeling plays a significant role in most stages. This session provides insight into best practices for this process from the standpoint of owner, energy consultant and modeler.
1. Introduction to Performance-Based Procurement
Scott Hackel, P.E., Member, Seventhwave, Madison, WI
This seminar begins by introducing and defining a performance-based procurement. The fundamental tenets are outlined, so that the subsequent presentations will be very useful even for those with no prior experience with the concept.
2. Using Performance Targets to Procure a Bed Tower Expansion at Mayo Clinic
Ken Potts R.A., Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
One of Mayo Clinic’s core values is Stewardship: managing and sustaining our human, natural, and material resources. In support of that value, Mayo has committed to lower its carbon emissions 20% by 2020. For the Generose Building expansion project, Mayo used an Energy Use Intensity performance goal early in project planning. The EUI goal was part of the design team RFP, the contractor selection process, as well as included in the contract language. This approach has allowed Mayo to optimize the balance between aesthetics, performance, and budget to serve the needs of its patients while maximizing performance of the facility.
3. Best Practices for Performance-Based Procurement
Ben Heymer, P.E., Member, Seventhwave, Chicago, IL
In just the past few years there have arisen a critical mass of projects utilizing a performance-based procurement method of delivery. This presentation documents the practices that have emerged for owner, design and construction teams to utilize this process with a focus on those that have demonstrated clear success. Practices are shared for steps such as clear documentation of owner’s goals in RFPs and contracts, choosing of performance targets, substantiation at various steps of design and construction and development of an M&V plan for performance-based projects.
4. Modeling and Designing Buildings to a Target EUI
Joseph Clair, P.E., dbHMS, Chicago, IL
Policy makers and owners have turned to guaranteed EUI contracts as a method for delivering low energy buildings within the cost of construction. In order to accomplish this, owners and designers must work together with a focus on performance at each step, as is currently done for budget. Using the backdrop of a recent dormitory project, this seminar helps the attendee identify the elements of standard building project delivery that have to change in order for guaranteed EUI contracts to work, while providing performance data to show whether the project team delivered on its goal.
