قسمتي از متن فيلم: Whoo Jennifer laiki for her to begin nursing the report and and then I will be back to talk to you about some of these eight actions in a few minutes great thank you Eric and hello to all we’re delighted that you were able to join us today this report this guidebook

Designed to deliver strategies and approaches to urban leaders is the culmination of over five years of work stemming back to a partnership with johnson controls and over a dozen other organizations who worked with us in initiating and creating an 8 Action menu for urban leaders these the types of

Activities that it can be implemented through policies through programs or through project level activities learning by doing strategies we’ll talk a little bit about them as we go through the webinar and explore these topics in more depth for those of you who are not familiar the WRI Ross center for

Sustainable cities is focuses in on providing support for cities in major economies and we work in with over fifty five cities at the WI Ross Center and we have eight practice areas one is building energy efficiency and we’re delighted to tell you more about our work with these cities in it subsequent

Communications and emails our building efficiency work specifically focuses on for interventions building private public collaboration to support building efficiency projects and policies scaling business and finance models improving information on building energy performance and making the information transparent to stakeholders in the building sector and in cities and to

Help support the evolution towards high performance and net zero energy buildings and the integration of buildings into a clean urban energy system the premise of our work is that in fact the interconnection between buildings and cities will be a determinant of the quality of life for people who live in urban cities

Urban areas around the world this report outlines both the what the business case is the why do to get involved with building efficiency as well as the how on the why we’ll talk a little bit about this in a minute we see the sustainable development benefits of cities focusing

On energy efficiency in a myriad of social environmental and economic ways the report that we’re talking through today can be found both in a PDF version as well as an interactive online version the website is at the bottom of the screen here and we welcome your feedback

And input we welcome more case studies and engagement around the content and we’re delighted that this to make this of the first online report that WRI has published so let’s take a look at some of the content in the report we focus at the at the initial area of the report on

Why efficient buildings and as many of you know and we’re very familiar with there is a critical function that buildings play and cities they provide shelter they provide services health care education and city services as well as housing so in if we focus on buildings as a solution we can make our

Energy use more efficient we can reduce the long-term demand for energy and thereby reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally and we can focus on providing better strategies to connect our buildings to prove it to increase energy access making every kilowatt hour stretch further and creating local markets for decades and in providing

Good jobs in the energy industry why focus now on building efficiency as you can see in this chart all the projections are that the building emission profile is rising significantly as communities become wealthier they’re going to be asking for more services larger living areas better appliance

Access and more energy and so our goal is to decouple the provision of those services and buildings with the need for energy and the resulting emissions we know that the use of energy by buildings is one of the contributors to illness and death in many cities and in

Countries around the world because of the emissions associated with particulate levels as well as the impacts of such and other types of environmental pollution at IPCC IEA and many other organizations have done have analyzed the the role of building efficiency in reducing emissions and in fact it is the low-hanging fruit as many

Call it in and the one strategy that can be used most cost-effectively to reduce emissions but why cities we focus on cities because in fact they are the Centers of the productive and consumption a productivity and consumption using over seventy percent of energy and today housing fifty-four

Percent of global population as well as a producing eighty percent of global domestic gross domestic product globally and the trend will continue we now have fifty four percent of the world in over fifty percent of the world living in cities and it will be seventy percent by

۲۰۵۰ so there are three things that we care about as cities begin to grow drugs in this expansion that we’re undertaking it is unprecedented first we have to think about the urban form where we put our buildings how we we zone and plan for our cities matters how we think

About the performance of those buildings and the ability for us to make those buildings as efficient as possible and how we connect buildings in our cities to district level energy solutions and to city scale opportunities for improved urban efficiency these are all critical parts of a planning or process that a

City could undertake but often because energy has in many places than the purview of it the national governments planning strategies cities have not had to think through an energy strategy that connects the building scale to the district scale and to the city scale so this report builds that bridge and

Focuses on where and how cities and the energy efficiency agenda for buildings come together we know that today’s choices in the built environment are locking us in to emissions and energy demand they lock in the residents to a certain level of utility bills and they have long lasting implications buildings

Are part of the infrastructure that last for as we serve as we saw earlier 40 years and in fact be thinking about buildings as part of an energy strategy is critical at the outset because of the long-term nature of those investments but we know that they although the technologies and solutions are available

In many markets there are barriers that remain that prohibit these solutions from moving easily and scalable scaling in specific markets when we asked at johnson controls asked the market participants what were their biggest barriers they were around awareness around the ability to understand the technical choices around the inability

To judge the performance of the various options market barriers around whether people were going to be in those buildings or had to had ownership of the buildings in order to make those investments and finally to think thinking about where and how they could implement those activities if they

Wanted to make those investments and what the policies meant so we looked at a set of actions that could be critical in overcoming those market barriers and we looked at it from not just one perspective but from a variety of perspectives stakeholders who influence the market whether that be a bank where you

Would need to go to think about a finance option or whether it is a construction company thinking about how you would design your new building the actions that we ate outlined in the report provide a set of ideas specifically designed to various leaders around improving buildings and building

Stock they may apply at different levels and whether that’s in the new building space or in the in with existing buildings and finally with some of the methods for revitalizing and rebuilding they also apply with different for different leaders city governments have specific opportunities and different levels of control around those types of

Strategies they ate actions that we outline the actions include a variety of pieces here that that are on on this chart I’m going to hand it over to Eric and Eric will describe the eight actions and move into some more depth sure I think Jennifer so these there are eight

Actions that we outline in the report I’m not going to go into great depth on each of them because some of our subsequent speakers will be touching on them with more compelling examples from their their practice but I will feature a few of these so what we have here are

The the eight actions that are described in the report and they range from kind of policy and program mechanisms to strategies around engaging specific key groups of stakeholders in I’m going to touch briefly on codes and standards targets for energy efficiency and then government leadership by example just as

An introductory sense of what’s in the content in this report and there’s a lot more on these other topics to action one building efficiency codes and standards so these are really in a lot of ways the foundation of energy efficiency practices in building setting the floor for the performance of buildings and

Their regulatory tools that require this minimum level of energy efficiency in buildings they are it’s important that they’re they’re customized and they’re localized to the context in a particular nation or even city this is also this is often thought about as a role that some of key of key importance to national

Governments but in the in the realm of actually implementing building codes making sure they’re being used in standard practice and in construction this is a key role for local governments as well so it’s very important to be thinking about how that relationship not only with the broader set of

Stakeholders in the building community but between national provincial and state governments and local governments how they’re collaborating to implement building building codes and standards so one example on that from europe which i think is a pretty advanced example but i think compelling one in many ways is the

European wide policy for an energy performance of buildings directive which has been being in the process that implemented for over a decade at this point in has been improved over time different nations and different cities are expected to implement these but using their own choices that they make

That’s relevant to their local market Brussels Belgium is a particularly interesting example because they approach this process to as really a consensus process a stakeholder driven process where they introduced early on before they even introduce the stricter building code standards recognition for developers and building owners who went

Above and beyond at public recognition and in some cases even funding recognition for for the activities they were doing so what they had done is they used a and a leadership by example process among businesses to move the standard practice to a higher level before it was even implemented as a

Required policy and so one that came time to actually implement it as a as a code the the building community was very supportive of it because they had already begun transforming their practices so in that way this is actually a really good example of both codes and standards and what we have to

Talk about for action 6am engagement of owners and occupants of buildings action to energy efficiency improvement targets this is something that that research has found is actually one of the most valuable actions that can be taken about setting a clear commitment with qualitative quantitative goals for reductions in building energy use just

By understanding making a commitment to improvement and making a measurable having a political commitment behind that organizations and governments are able to much more effectively manage and improve their energy use so there are several variations on this some cities have begun setting these targets at a citywide scale in various forms thinking

About either energy improvements are often emissions related improvements that are implemented in buildings governments can set them themselves for their own operations and often there are also voluntary targets that governments or other actors encourage businesses and building owners to take on around improving their their energy use and

Better managing their energy use over time I’ll give it an example of that in a second along with this action action number five government leadership by example so governments can set targets as we just discussed but thinking about how do they achieve those targets what are some of the options available to

Governments two of the most common things that we find our public building retrofit and energy management programs actively managing understanding the energy use in buildings and then setting having a commitment and a process to improve the energies over time through their operational changes or technology changes their retrofits and otherwise as

Well as another important strategy in this category is procurement regulation so thinking about how governments purchase the products they need to provide services and procure the services that they’re providing to their citizens and making sure that energy efficiency is a consideration at how that process is done so one example from

Buenos Aires in Argentina combines the two of these Buenos Aires had set a target for greenhouse gas emissions reductions with thirty percent below 2008 levels by 2030 and this the major one of the major strategies they had for this was around implementing a program for improving public buildings so they

Started by analyzing their energy use consumption patterns for a set of buildings and then using that information to identify priorities for action specific interventions they can make in operations as well as capital investments in those buildings and then expanded that process over time to include other buildings and a more

Comprehensive and of energy management process that became focused more on continuous improvement so at this point they have over 20 about 20 buildings have undergone audits and are implementing improvements and they’re for new buildings as well new public buildings that are now certain minimum criteria that relate to environmental

Sustainability as well as energy that are being implemented so a good example of how targets can then be implemented through a government leadership program so that’s just a couple of examples I want to turn it over to our other speakers to dig into more from examples from their experience but this report is

Really a guidebook for urban leaders to help them think about a pathway to accelerating building efficiency and not just what to do but how to do it the focus really is on collaborative action understanding what’s needed from stakeholders which stakeholders need to be involved in a process for how to

Engage them to really identify a customizable path what’s important for a particular place what actions make the most sense when to build to have some successes build over time toward greater improvement in energy efficiency in buildings through working together so that’s that’s again our kind of summary

Image take a look at the guidebook I hope this would be a valuable tool for you as a reference point in your work whatever sort of urban leader you are or how ever you want to influence servant leaders this does have content for you about how action and I’m building

Efficiency can be taken and how and how to influence action by others so take a look at the w I noted / building efficiency to get access to the report and so with that I’m going to hand this over to the team in Denver Elizabeth and Katrina we’re going to hand you

Presenter rights and you can tell us about your work in Denver wonderful thanks Eric ok so in Denver we have taken an approach that uses a lot of the different eight kind of tools that the report talks about and we want to walk you through the story of how we’ve

Gotten to where we are today kind of the progression from the early stages of focusing a lot on municipal action around energy efficiency and then moving forward to to where we are today which is really engaging with the private sector and looking at building efficiency policy that would cover our

Whole community so when we look at where the source of our greenhouse gas emissions come from in Denver we see that about fifty-seven percent of our emissions are from our commercial and multifamily buildings it’s a single largest proportion of our emissions right ahead of transportation and so we

Knew from the beginning when when we were doing our climate action planning that this would be a really important area for us to focus in on and to devise some effective strategies to bring down emissions from sector so several years ago the the city really made some pretty strong

Commitments to improve the efficiency of its own building we threw our executive order 123 require all of our buildings to certify their energy star score annually if they can qualify for that certification just this past year we had eight buildings that qualified for Energy Star and we certify those

Buildings we also have to incorporate lead existing buildings operations and maintenance into all of our operations work across the city and we’ve set a city goal through the executive order to achieve twenty percent energy savings by 2020 across our full city building portfolio and we’re well on our way to

Do that so what we know about energy efficiency in the city has seen this through its own work to date is that there is a huge economic opportunity in in those energy efficiency investments so these numbers that show a potential in Denver alone of 1.3 billion dollars

In energy savings if we invest 340 million dollars in our in our private buildings across the city over seven years we will see that that huge return on investment of 1.3 billion energy savings and those numbers come from the Rockefeller Foundation group study in 2012 and we scale those numbers down to

The square footage of the City and County of Denver just to look at the size of the opportunity just within our own City and so we know that these these kinds of savings can come from you know what would be considered a low-hanging fruit or off-the-shelf technologies that

Exist today and so when we when we saw that that really born out in our own efforts through our own city buildings we really wanted to take that opportunity and figure out how to unlock it through throughout our whole community looking at our private buildings as well so

Another area where the city has been very active to date is trying to get better access and better rules around energy data and so in the state of Colorado our Public Utilities Commission is the is the state body that has authority over regulating our investor owned utilities our utility here in

Denver is Xcel Energy and the Commission sets the various rules that protect consumer data privacy and govern how Xcel Energy can share data with both with customers as well as with third parties and so there were some barriers and our existing rules to building owners being able to access whole

Building aggregated data for the purposes of benchmarking understanding their energy used across the whole building and so we as the city as well as other stakeholders intervened in a filing at the Commission around data access and privacy to to request that the Commission consider providing whole building aggregated data access to

Building owners without individual customer consent as long as there were four or more tenants in a building and no tenant was using more than fifty percent of the energy in the building and so that rule was actually adopted by the Commission and that actually allowed building owners to get access a lot

Easier than they would have otherwise because under the previous roles it was a 1515 role so any building that had 15 or fewer tenants you had to actually get individual customer consent for every single one of those tenants in order to get that aggregated data made available

To you and so this really eases the way for the vast majority of buildings to get the data very easily from their utility and then we also work with our utility to to pilot and beta test a program that provides automatic upload of the whole building aggregated data to

The Energy Star portfolio manager account so those two steps in tandem really make it a whole lot easier for building owners to to take that fundamental first step to benchmark their building and to understand their energy usage so it was a huge win for us it was something that

Really lays the groundwork for our our future work kind of moving forward with policy because it took down one of the kind of main barriers that would exist for a building on or two to be able to benchmark their building and we had a great partnership with our utility there

Were other cities that in the service area territory of our utility that had already done a benchmarking requirement and so we were able to also learn some lessons from those other cities and we were able to work together to get our utility to provide this service so it

Was a was kind of a great partnership and a great outcome so at this point I’m going to turn it over to Katrina man again our energy efficiency expert here at the city to talk more about how we began working with the private sector through some voluntary programs and then

Our policy developments as well hey stinky lives so simultaneously as we worked to get building owners pool building access the whole building data so that they could measure their energy performance we created a benchmarking program where we recognize any building that benchmarks and we created this program because a building an owner

Can’t manage what they don’t measure so Energy Star portfolio manager is a free tool that property managers can use to get the one to 100 energy performance for for their building and 50 is the national average so this program started about two years ago we have 86 participating buildings today and it’s

Growing all the time we also wrote case studies of some of the leading buildings that we had we we partnered with key community groups in running this program such as the building owners and managers association that international facility management association our local utility expel energy the energy efficiency

Business coalition and the goal of the program was really to reckon and celebrate leaders and in doing so to try to get more building copying what those leaders are doing so one of the case studies that we wrote was about the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce they

Did a major renovation of their building and while they were doing that renovation they invested 280 thousand dollars to to pay sort of a premium energy efficiency upgrades and lighting and our air handler and their new boiler and they see forty thousand dollars in annual savings in that building now on

Their utility bills that’s a seven-year simple payback and they and we estimate that that increase the value of their building by four hundred and twenty four thousand dollars so it’s a really good investment for them I know they’re really happy with that in their new space they also took their energy star

Score from 45 just below the national average up to 80 and that benchmark was a key part of how they really track their success and other and energy star certified buildings another program that we created was our lease for efficiency challenge we launched this a year ago

And the way this program works is that businesses that rent space in Denver’s of the tennis in our office buildings commit to ask one powerful little question next time they read space in Denver just what is that one to one hundred energy star score of the building and the reason we created this

Is because as we asked property managers of our office buildings and building owners you know how can the city help improve energy efficiency in building they said help educate our tenants because often they don’t value the investments that we make in energy efficiency and it makes it harder to

Make those investments because at the end of the day we’re serving with tenants needs so we really did this effort educating the tenant businesses across Denver we have 44 tenants across Denver that rent 2.5 million square feet we and we kicked that program last October other things

That we’re doing to really try to encourage building owners to invest more on energy efficiency is making sure they have the financing available to pay for upgrades the pace is property assessed clean energy is a program that the state of Colorado has created and the city of

Denver is in the process of signing up for that statewide program and how that program works is that a building owner can repay an energy efficiency alone loan through a special property tax assessment there’s a couple of advantages of financing and efficiency upgrade that way that one that

Assessments can be passed along to tenants under most leases and secondly the property tax assessment stays with the property on sale so you can have a loan term up to 20 years and it’s structured such that the monthly repayment of the loan is less than the energy standards you’re coming out cash

Flow positive as an owner from day one and then that loan stays with the property when it’s sold to someone only has a whole period of five years for a building they can still invest in a longer-term energy efficiency improvement there’s also lots of other lenders offering energy efficiencies

Bones in Denver so we spent some time really working with the finance community to assess if the city needed to be you know supplementing this in some way and largely concluded that there’s there’s lots of providers that are both qualified by our local utility there’s providers focused on sub markets

Such as condo loans and there’s other providers that are also distracted here and nationally doing energy efficiency loans so lack of capital is available to pay for good projects in Denver so what we did as we ran all of those programs we kept assessing you know have we have

We gotten are we are we can meet our climate goals are we unlocking that opportunity that we know is out there with 1.3 billion in energy savings in our existing buildings and the program you know while getting 86 building signed up for our benchmarking program is great there’s 1800 buildings

Over 50,000 square feet in Denver and so we’re not actually getting sort of unlocking that full opportunity or reaching our climate goals just with these programs alone is what we concluded so we saluted sort of after triangle of those programs that we really needed to do more to encourage

That investment in energy efficiency so we created the energized Denver task force to work on existing building energy efficiency back in December of 2015 and so based on the task force’s work the city is going to develop and implement new building efficiency program and policies so what we did was

Really lay out a goal for the task force and that is to improve the energy efficiency of existing commercial and multi-family building ten percent by 2020 and double back to twenty percent by 2030 and if you click on go to this website energize Denver or you can see

Who our task force members are we wanted a really balanced group of stakeholders from across the real estate community so we have property manager building owners investors from both commercial buildings and apartments with low income housing providers energy efficiency businesses green building experts Xcel Energy our local utilities it’s on the task force

So we have a balanced group of 20 stakeholders who really set their own goals they want to also be thinking about the broader set of stakeholders who aren’t at the table and so they’ve come up with a really thoughtful set of recommendations before I get to what they’re currently recommending right now

They’ve met seven out of eight times the recommendations aren’t yet final but they’re in process and some of why before I before I get to what they’re recommending I want to talk a little bit about why why they are really thinking that a more ambitious policy and this morning

Business goal makes sense so Google is benefits if we unlock this efficiency opportunity in Denver building owners because an energy efficiency investment lowers their operating costs increases our net operating income and create some more valuable asset businesses benefit so in an Energy Star certified building since the building in the top quartile

Of all buildings nationally with a score of 75 or higher and that building is thirty-five percent more efficient than the average building so that saves the tenant about 50 cents per square foot and that’s money that then the business can keep to run their business instead

Of paying it to the utility can create jobs in the energy efficiency business and we estimate that unlocking that whole sort of 1.3 billion in energy savings would create 340 new jobs and energy efficiency work we also will be a more competitive bully competitive City we know that Denver’s leadership to date

In sustainability helped win Panasonic to move their corporate headquarters here they we know that Millennials you are growing part of our workforce want sustainability so it’s part of our strategy to be a more globally competitive City and so just to finish up all outline what are energized Denver

Task force is currently proposing the municipal buildings would lead by example and all the details of this can be found at energize Denver org so feel free to go there and dive in deeper I’ll just do this relatively quickly so the first requirement that the task force is

Proposing is that building owners over 25,000 square feet would need to benchmark using energy star portfolio manager every year and report that score to the city ask this in sort of the second year of reporting transparency would be required so the scores will be published the low those policies with benchmarking

Currency have seen two to three percent annual savings in other cities and then the task force looked at next what needs to be done to improve to encourage low-performing buildings to improve so first any building with Energy Star certified we just want to celebrate them and give them an exemption from doing

Anything else but if the building is not yet certified they would pick from one of three options policy three four or five so they could improve their performance by fifteen percent every five years so this is on a five-year cycle starting in twenty twenty-one or they could do retro-commissioning and

Implement measures with less than a two and a half year payback or they could do an audit and implement the measures again with less than a two and a half year payback so the idea is to give them as much flexibility as possible but to really get those low performing building

Improving so we’ll have final recommendations at the end of june and the task force and then be moving forward with how do we implement some of those recommendations through City Council and that is our last slide here’s our contact information and again all the details on the energy Denver

Processor energized ember or one thanks so much Katrina and Liz we’re going to move along and take questions for you all that really interesting work i know i have several for you hopefully we have some participants as well so if you do have questions make sure you’re

Putting them into the questions box on the right hand side of the screen in the the questions men you can type those in at any time katrina if you could pass present our rights over to helen and we’re next going to hear from Helen gore fell from who’s the executive director

Of green print at the Urban Land Institute Thurman l’institut works with the real estate sector around the world and Hounds workers specifically on helping building owners managers better understand their building performance including energy use Ellen why don’t you take away um I just acting give kudos to

The Denver team for creating such an amazing and comprehensive plan and a program so it’s really amazing and be phenomenal in other cities around the globe did the same thing so as as Eric mentioned I will provide you with two examples today of how actions three and

Six so metrics and engagement are really driving efficiency in this marketplace that we’re seeing Wow so um I come to I come to this kind of it through these examples from the lens of Urban Land Institute Urban Land Institute is a 38 member 30,000 member a global organization and has a multidisciplinary

Stakeholder engagement with real estate owners investors city planners designers architects so it really creates a wonderful community to discuss these types of topics and really get the right mix of people to bring these projects and initiatives forward and their their mission for the past 80 years has really been to create sustainable thriving

Communities so the work that we do specifically reprint really focuses a lot of that we we touch upon a lot of the eight different actions that were discussed earlier by Eric and Jennifer specifically today I’ll be talking about these two examples and I and we come to it from the greenroom Center an

Executive director of the uli green print center it’s a consortium of real estate owners committed to improving the environmental performance of their properties really through value enhanced carbon strategies primarily because with enhanced value there will be more traction one-off projects that are just improving energy efficiency for the sake

Of energy efficiency will have some traction but to have true global recognition and global traction we really needed to create that value that the Katrina mentioned earlier in her presentation as well so our goal is to reduce carbon emissions by fifty percent so really trying to set that target and

We do that through a large membership base so really engaging with the real estate community we pride ourselves on being an organization that is by industry for the industry and it’s really their leadership as guiding our program work and one of the things that we do with them is that we help them

Measure and manage and create value for their portfolios through metrics so we help them measure their energy that carvin their water or their waste diversion projects that they’re doing in their buildings as well as other metrics we really feel that setting targets can really help impact and lead to market

Transformation as a first step of course and so we cover for 40 members or through our membership we’re able to cover over 5,000 buildings and about 1.2 billion square feet of space and cross 51 countries so this is a good start we keep growing at about a thirty percent

Rate each year so really showing that there is more and more traction with in the real estate community to do this on the on the net on the extreme of voluntary benchmarking side so that’s a really interesting aspect we’ve been in existence since 2009 and since then

We’ve been able to help our members reduce their carbon emissions and energy consumption by about eleven percent and so this is kind of not on them on the market scale or across many different members then you know trying to demonstrate how our membership is using this type of data

And information and in some cases it’s very very simple in some cases you know we provide them with with charts and information online to see how their performance is year over year and kind of they can easily see where they have outliers and this was an interesting scenarios an amazing property owner in

Specifically in New York and when they saw this data they were rather shocked and the specific property has a as an a CHP system and combined heat and power system in within their building and normally it was performing quite well but this apparently this year that it had issues that they hadn’t recognized

Until they saw some of their data in closer detail and so they were able to go back and combined heat and power is usually extremely efficient and really helpful to operations but in this case this one was was quite old in the leave it was 30 years old and they needed some

Repairs or replacement so they were able to identify this and make the changes and make their property even more efficient so so as Jennifer semesters one example of how we work with individual owners but then we also work with with cities as well we have a pretty pretty focused of viewpoint on

Cities as Jennifer mentioned emissions and cities are on the rise with increased organization as well as we’re seeing that many investors and real estate owners are choosing cities to make a good portion of their investments or a majority portion of their investments making it even more important for these investors and real

Estate owners to understand what’s going on with their property so that they can make adjustments and improvements and so working with cities we recently partnered with the Department of Environment in San Francisco they had been collecting benchmarking data for the past five years but never published

A report or never really looked at the data in in some in and in in a kind of a more comprehensive way and so we partnered with them to bring the public sector mandatory volunteer mandatory benchmarking with the best practices in the voluntary space that we’ve been experiencing over the past seven years

And is we really tried to bring the private sector voice to the conversation and have the private sector really reach out to them say here are some improvements that we can see that we can make together and together we wrote this public report that they utilized and one

Interesting thing that came out of it is we constantly hear well no can make energy efficiency investments you know what will that do to the productivity of the space and you know as we see in the decoupling economic growth and energy use we can see in San Francisco

Specifically that their market value of real estate has risen over at the five year period that we looked at by eighty percent their GDP has grown their employment in terms of ftes in spaces has grown while their energy consumption has been decreasing so it’s really a great story and the other the other

Piece of this report was coming back to the dollars and sense of investing in these properties is that 817 of these properties went through audits and then the auditors came back and engineers came back and said if you invest 60 million dollars you’d give an annual savings of 25 million dollars a year

Which is basically equivalent to 170 million dollars on net present value so it’s really a lot of this makes sense and it’s not only at the as Katrina I mentioned not only at the bottom line but it’s also driving tenant demand writings also driving occupancy rates and leasing velocity a lot of these

Things that are although slightly more challenging to to track today but better that’s definitely happening in the Morgan is definitely moving the market forward and creating greater value for these real estate communities so with that thank you very much i look forward to any questions that you may have great

Thank you so much helen wonderful and again i have some questions but i hope that our participants will write in their questions in the question box we can get to them after our final speaker who is clean esler who’s the vice president for energy and sustainability

At johnson controls Helen if you want to pass presenting rights to clay I’m trying but my screen will not cooperate okay we can do it for you too and clay is going to talk a little bit more about you know his experience in this space and really as a thought leader about the

Role the private sector and how private sector can effectively engaged to support public sector work on transforming the market 30 more energy-efficient buildings okay great thanks Eric and hi everyone a great pleasure to be on the webinar today I’m going to talk specifically about the roles and the responsibilities of the

Private sector as they engage with city leaders and organizations to help accelerate building efficiency in cities first question is why should cities engage with the private sector I believe that that’s critical because if you really think about it the private sector includes the organizations that design our buildings to construct our buildings

The retrofit our buildings that operate our buildings that finance our buildings power our buildings occupy our buildings and perhaps most important own many of our buildings in cities they’re an absolutely critical stakeholder and in the process of collaboration between the public sector civil society and the private sector play a very very

Important role so what challenges do cities face as they plan to accelerate building efficiency initiatives within their jurisdiction the world bank group recently reported on a study they completed on the indicated nationally determined contributions that were submitted to the Paris cop21 climate conference these are the basis for

Climate action plans that those national jurisdictions put in place in order to meet the commitments they have made and there was a general need from a majority of the country’s for assistance in finance technology and capacity building well those three things are really in the sweet spot of the private sector the

Private sector will be involved in financing much of the improvements mitigation and adaptation that takes place as part of countries climate plans they bring the technology in the innovative solutions to be able to make those improvements on a cost-effective basis and really provide the needed capacity and capabilities to be able to

Achieve that at scale therefore they’re very critical parties in being able to help cities address those challenges there are four key things we need to do in order to take advantage of the most cost effective and practical approach to addressing climate change that is we need to expand the scope of our

Activities we need to take on more policies more programs we need to dig deeper in the retrofit of our existing buildings and be more aggressive as we address the design of new buildings we all have to work to achieve scale going from pilots to projects to large-scale programs and initiatives that bring both

The public and the private sector into the initiatives we need to increase the speed of change and accelerate and finally we need to keep score the private sector can help in all those areas so specifically how can the private sector help so there are eight areas that I think jump to mine versus

In the area of planning the private sector tends to be very good at detailed action planning whether that be business planning operations plans strategic plans they’re very helpful in working with cities and other stakeholders to determine the what the who the where the how and the when these programs and

Initiatives should should be executed they can provide practical will advise on policies which are true enablers we know that s goes for instance have been effective in the United States in the public sector we also know they’ve been very effective in China in the private sector but we also

Know they’ve been somewhat less than successful in other parts of the world and in other sectors and in fact on a state-by-state basis energy savings performance contractors go from being very very effective tools to almost not used at all pace legislation which katrina talked about many cities have

Had to implement two or three generations of pace legislation to trulia’s enable the type of investments they’ve been looking for also the private sector can help avoid unintended consequences for instance in some cases where renewable energy is added as an alternative path in building codes it’s resulted in the construction of less

Efficient envelopes and equipment in buildings not intended through that practices is an area large multilateral private-sector players can share best practices between regions and local companies can share the local practices that have really been key to progress in that jurisdiction projects the private sector are the ones that implement the

Projects and they know how to make them replicable going from just a sort of highly visible showcase project to something that would be more attractive and more scalable across a large majority of the builds building stock private sector understands measurement and verification they can estimate savings performance which will be key in

Building credibility and being able to report on the progress that cities make procurement processes can be a barrier governments can change fairly often but procurement processes rarely do and obviously on the receiving end of procurement processes the private sector can bring kind of be unique unique perspective on the effectiveness of

Those particular areas the private sector is generally good at promotion they can help promote programs and initiatives they can attract building owners to programs they can recruit partners to join these initiatives and provide testimonials on the effectiveness of the programs and then finally public-private partnerships are a very effective way in bringing

Technology finance and capacity and scale to building efficiency initiatives so obviously a critical player in that so my final slide is really asking the question what is the private sector most effective and I think there are some unique responsibilities in the private sector as they engaged collaborate with government and civil society in

Initiatives such as building efficiency first the private sector needs to act professionally it’s an opportunity to act collaboratively with other private-sector players and other stakeholders not competitively this is a this is a basically the time to remember the saying that a rising tide rises all

Ships I like to think of it as the private sector working together to make the pie larger to create demand for energy efficient products and services and then somewhere down the road the commercial organizations compete for individual slices of the pie it’s an opportunity to improve relationships but

It’s not a means to gain preferential access in developing plans the companies participating need to need to work collectively in order to give confidence to the role of the private sector not to gain individual competitive advantage it’s also an opportunity to enhance the collective reputation of the industry

And not to promote individual commercial differentiation the private sector also needs to be practical they need in order to achieve scale we need to create demand we need to expand supply we need to deliver the results and we need to follow the rules we need policies programs and projects that will be very

Practical and achieve those form means so focusing on what has worked in the past what can work today and more importantly potentially what will work in the future is the key responsibility for the private sector and finally private sector needs to be patient introducing policies implementing programs establishing or establishing

Programs and implementing projects takes time building community needs to be in it for the long haul creating future demand and reducing the risks of environment and improving future financial returns or some of the benefits that would come to the private sector as they actively engage in collaborate in developing these plans

Profitability is another key thing there’s not enough money public money in the world to make the needed changes that we do the private sector is critical to finance bring capacity and technology to make these changes in order to increase scope achieve scale and accelerate the pace of improvement we’re going to need market-based

Principles and the private sector to jump in with both feet and really work collaboratively to bring the needed results through so thank you very much it’s been a great pleasure to participate and I look forward to the Q&A session wonderful thanks so much clay great thoughts there and hopefully

We have some additional questions for you as well so we’re going to move into the question and answer period now thanks to all of our speakers and also just to note that several of them were contributed to this report katrina and clay in particular are co-authors on the

Report and we’re able to lend their experiences in this area to the content and the report so thanks to to both of you and as Jennifer mentioned there are over a dozen partner organizations on this report of your I was the lead but there are several several other NGOs and multinational or multilateral

Organizations who have partners on it so as we move into the question-and-answer period please enter your question into the question box on the if you have not already on the right-hand side of your screen you should be able to find the questions section you can type it in there and so

Why don’t we start with a few of the ones that we already have has more come in as a kind of a higher level question there was a question about from the developing country context which we didn’t touch on in too much detail in this webinar but there is a lot of

Content on that in the report that are relevant to not only experience of developed countries but also developing and emerging economies so there’s a specific question from mazhar who’s a representative of Government of Pakistan who was asking about in developing countries urbanization is speedily occurring without any planning the

Existing structure structures there it’s near impossible to transform them with energy efficiency and he was asking about what are the international best practices in this regard that’s a great question and one we probably can’t answer with with full value in the time we have here but I will I can maybe

Start by responding to that and I know if our other speakers have thoughts as well I would say two things you’re right in that existing structures are particularly difficult to address with energy efficiency existing buildings and that’s true all over the world the best way to make sure buildings are

Officiants to make sure they’re built right the first time and that’s doubly true in rapidly urbanizing places because there’s a lot of construction happening so that’s those are easy opportunities that can be easily missed right because as jennifer noted in her remarks a building that’s built today

Will exact list last for probably at least 40 years maybe upwards of 100 so i would say in developing cities that’s particularly ones with a lot of new construction that’s the first priority at least from a technical perspective maybe stakeholders have other interests and needs but technically that’s where a

Lot of the energy savings the economic benefits the emission benefits can be achieved and so there are a lot of and so that typically means code code implementation and adoption and there are that’s can be a challenging activity especially if there isn’t already a model code in your country the process

Of getting that implemented and there but there are some really good examples and of partnerships to help to create in the absence of a code to create a standard so it’s sort of an example of that is what of what Katrina was talking about with with Energy Star as a way to

Encourage better performance activities even in the absence of a code and there are other certifications and standards that can be used also thinking about when compliance is difficult and ensuring that people are actually following the law as difficult incentives to help people to recognize or make it easier for development to

Happen that is compliant with the law so those can be incentives that don’t have to be even financial they can be regulatory in some ways as well and then finally to actually answer your question about existing structures I think it’s often easiest to start with component based strategies so thinking about

Appliances and lighting which are large energy users in in buildings helping to make sure that there’s access to the most efficient of those pieces of equipment used in buildings isn’t often a starting point that can be built on from there to move toward more building wide more comprehensive building

Strategies for improving energy use and existing structures just a couple thoughts on that I don’t know if our other speakers wanted to speak to this issue of the challenge with with planning and rapidly urbanizing countries and how to address deficiency there at Jennifer the only other thing that I dad

And I think that those are all very important strategies there are tactics is that many times the the urban form challenges that we talked about in the need for a master planning and additional investment in the planning phase within the city our activities that there are good resources available

One of the partners that we work with often is the clean energy solution Center which is a US government initiative and they have technical assistance available to provide for urban plans and for energy efficiency planning strategies and approaches and there are many bilateral international organizations that have similar technical capacity and support for

Planning training and capacity building in developing countries in particular so there may be some resources available that could be specific to answer or address either the need for planning at the city scale or the planning for energy efficiency improvements in cities hate so nobody else this is Han oh go

Ahead on the back I would just reiterate some of the comments that Clay had earlier about engaging the private sector um both at the company’s service writer level as well as the real estate owners that own some of these existing building stock to really to really participate in that conversation and

Potentially help push the government’s to to make these changes because I think independently private sector or public sector they can’t succeed but together they have a higher probability of making something work thanks Helen great one point a couple other questions we have actually a couple of specific ones for

The Denver team for MU Katrina and liz a question from rose who asks I know that the Denver task force is not yet given final recommendations but is there any sense of how the city will verify policies three through five that you presented in your in your recommendations all right so some of

That is still being finalized but I’ll tell you what we no so far so policy three would have a building with not yet certified improve their energy use intensity by fifteen percent and that will be a self-reported number because I’ll be we get that energy use intensity in part of their

Report through the Energy Star portfolio manager tool so we’re still finalizing exactly how much verification we would do but we’ll be able to certainly go out and audits and spot check those reports and they’re finalizing exactly how many would be auditing and checking the policy four and five where a building

Owner does an audit or retro-commissioning and then implements the measures that they find we’re convening at quality assurance sort of subcommittee of the task force through the month of june to really finalize how that will work but we think it’s going to likely be some combination of who is

A qualified professional to conduct an audit or the retro-commissioning as well as a checklist of what would need to be done as part of that process and then i think we probably need some leeway for the implementing agency here in the Department of Environmental Health to

Really be able to use our discretion to know if it’s a good audit or good retro-commissioning or not because we don’t want sort of low quality providers coming in and just quickly running through the checklist we want these actually be really good audits and sympathetic things will just be an

Ongoing process of learning as the audits start coming in so they’ll be flexibility to sort of adapt usually the rules and regs to make sure we’re getting quality great one more specific question to you Katrina and then we have some more general questions for the other panelists too there’s a question

About your budget how big it is in Denver and how many staff do you have and how will that change once the energized Denver plan is adopted and then relatedly where does that budget and those resources come from I think this is a question that probably a lot

Of cities aren’t asked is how do you how do you institutional this work how do you make sure it’s funded with all the other competing priorities that cities have sure so this is Liz so right now we in terms of our large buildings efficiency staff were mostly supported through Katrina’s

Effort through the relationship we have through the inner city energy project and IM t so what we’ve been doing is creating throughout this process of longevity plans for how we will continue to fund and support this program beyond the city energy project relationship that we have and Katrina support so we

Are working through our city’s normal budget process we are developing a change request for staff and depending on how the final recommendations come out from the task force will either ask for one or two staff for 2017 and our budget process is is probably much like

Many other cities we have to show the need we have to demonstrate the need and expand show metrics and measurements for how will know that this investment is worth while we’re doing a comparison with other cities other peer cities to see how many staff that they have that

Work on their buildings programs and so we can compare that and say you know you November should have this many staff in comparison to other peer cities and we’re also looking to do some some prime grazing as well and then in terms of budgeting we have some you know based

Budget within our program for our climate and energy programs it’s not a lot but we’re looking at how we can build up the budget itself as well to have funding for doing things like marketing and trainings and outreach we and we do have some funding currently through again through City energy

Project and then our budget so I we have a kind of a unique set up here in the division that I sit in within the city where our whole divisional budget actually comes from we we own and operate the landfill the municipal landfill and so our budget comes from

Tipping fees as a landfill so probably not as replicable maybe for others but that’s where our funding comes from great good to know thank you we have a couple other more general questions one that I think is I may actually expand a little bit there’s a question about as a

New local NGO what can you do to influence sustainable city development and love reflections on now but actually maybe I’ll expand it a little bit to ask about from from your experience the panelists what is how do you start how do you get started in a space like this

If you’re a new city coming to this you know we have these eight actions many options with inside of them what are your thoughts on how to get started and how to take action in a way that’s going to set you up for success Eric this is a

Clay I have an idea in the accelerating bill during building efficiency guide there’s a section in the back that talks about an assessment process and the assessment of process allows a a a city or or other jurisdiction to essentially convene a group of interested stakeholders that would come from the

Government both local potentially regional and national would include local NGOs they could be small and limited to a given jurisdiction they could be national potentially international as well as key stakeholders from the private sector and it details a process and a tool by which they would go through the eight action

Areas make an assessment of where they are with within each of those eight areas from planning to do something piloting something on a limited basis scaling it up or fully implementing it and then it allows them to evaluate the difficulty of implementation and the benefits that would come from implementing that policy

Which would be very different from city to city and then it provides a way to prioritize those based on difficulty and importance around midterm and long-term where they would like to be so it’s an effective launching point to expose key stakeholders to these eight action areas and to develop a preliminary plan and

We’ve done this both formally and informally with other organizations and seems to be a good starting point I’ll turn it over to others to comment thanks clay anybody else find a way in on that great a couple of other questions some great questions here at so a question

About what so what other organizations question from Jim McMahon hi Jim um what other organizations facilitate exchanging information and success stories among cities globally I know all our panelists are involved in many different sorts of organizations you highlight a couple of resource organizations for cities on the call

Other stakeholders well I’ll start us off when this question and there are a number of partnerships that already support City action in a variety of different areas of priority so when you look at the groups that have done that have been focused on broad sore City peer-to-peer learning and exchanges

Groups like a clay or c40 or the compact or covenant of Mayors tends to be broad membership driven organizations where you can find gear cities and communities of practice that have experiences in this area I’ll add that there are several partnerships that are more focused specifically on this challenge of

Building energy efficiency in cities we’ve already referred to and discuss a little bit the city energy project which is a platform that is supported by the Institute for market transformation here in Washington as well as the natural resources defense council and organization that it does this a little bit globally supporting private sector

Engagement in and discussions with policymakers is our sustainable energy for all building efficiency accelerator project which is a part of the sustainable energy for all schools which are generally to to improve access to modern energy services to double the amount of renewables in the mix and to double the rate of energy efficiency

Improvement around the world we’re working with 23 cities specifically on learning these types of actions and policies and taking commitments within those cities supported by the collaborative project partners from the private and NGO sectors and that is a dedicated resource specifically on this it strikes me that there are many other

Networks that are specific to country level action or activity that could be beneficial and telling stories as well as international organizations like as map within the World Bank that that do conduct analysis and could certainly share the findings via their web sites and other platforms great yeah a lot of

Resources some ways sorting through them is the challenge but some people on the call here including myself had be helped happy to help direct people if you have follow-up questions you can be in touch with me on getting started anybody else want to respond to that question hearing

None cool other questions coming in question about in in developing countries how do you make governments understand the importance of implementing these actions on building efficiency they’ll take a first shot at that love to hear a particular Denver chime in I think it is really this is a really

Critical question and the answers of this is very different depending on which scale of government and the priorities of that government great one of the great things about building efficiency and energy efficiency is that it’s has benefits as we talked about that are social economic and environmental so really depending on the

Priorities of that community where they are putting their efforts what are the top things they care about how you go about that really is different and understanding who you want to influence what information you need to share with them about you know the social benefits or about the economic benefits for

Competitiveness or helping with air pollution those are those are challenges that are a different level of priority in different cities so I think the critical thing is really understanding that and then understanding how that difference is different from different levels of government influencing local governments versus national governments

And where their priorities lay and how to how to to work at the intersection of those priorities and communicate messages that are gonna relevant than accurate to the right audience folks in Denver do you want to speak to that about your experience sure I actually echo exactly what you said Eric I think

You have to know what’s important to your community as well as what’s important to your decision makers and your private sector stakeholders who might be impacted by any policies that you develop in Denver we have really developed a very strong business case so we’re focusing a lot on the economic

Benefits of energy efficiency and how it will help Denver be a competitive city globally and nationally but secondarily you know we do have some air quality challenges in Denver and so focusing on the public health benefits and the air quality benefits can also be a good message there have been other cities

That have focused much more strongly on the public health benefits and air quality benefits because that tends to be the primary issue that they might be facing in their community so I can imagine that in the developing world some of those kinds of our might be really powerful when you’re

Talking about what the benefits are but there are so many different benefits that you can really select among a variety of options to see what works best for you and your community so this is katrina and denver i might just add that will often pivot our messaging a

Bit depending on who are actually talking to you because this is a win for the economy at the win for the environment is a win for air quality and we can lead with any one of those messages and then how to back it up with the others depending on which audience

Were not great yeah thanks for answering specifically developing countries which I kind of neglected to so thanks so much for doing that list um we’re running close to the end of our time here we have a few minutes left we want to make sure we end before or are at the half

Hour as we scheduled this just a couple of other things coming in one other organization to note that a participant wanted us to notice the urban sustainability director every sustainability directors Network which is an organization of peer-to-peer learning among I’m actual sustainability directors for cities and they have also

Doing some really advanced work on what’s called the carbon neutral cities Alliance around cities who are actually aiming for carbon neutral goals so maybe one one additional question to add in here there’s a question from Sandeep about how has the financing aspect and handled for building retrofits are there

Fine our financing agencies and keen to finance building retrofits and relatedly what are the challenges to engaging with financial community and how important is this question and in getting buildings who proved Helen do you want to take a shot at that ok and yes there are there are many financing mechanisms

I think historically there’s been some some issues on the demand side right so you could always envisioned that thanks to Lily step up to provide the funds um there’s been some there’s variety of range of issues but some of it has been on the demand side where where banks

Will look at these projects and say hey you know they’re so small they’re they’re hard to necessarily underwrite for the value that they’re bringing into the bank that’s on them on the supply side of the funds on the demand side real estate owners are also looking at these types of projects sometimes and

Saying you know it’s such a small piece of my operations right energy is about three percent of the building’s operations and they say well what am I going to invest in should I invest in this even though the payback is so clearly short and so clearly beneficial

In in so many ways whether it be for the environment for the bottom line for the people’s comfort inside those properties so clearly there’s there’s I think there’s a lot of these a lot of these types of projects have been somewhat anecdotal in terms of their return may

Think if we kind of commercialize or take them in aggregate I know that we’ve we’ve had a product project like this I know that the EDF has had a project at this the confidence project in terms of building confidence for these types of projects aggregating them really showing

The industry what the returns can be to make it easier to underwrite for banks I think we can get some more traction on some projects that have been successful thus far are for example the pace project that moves booked up for Denver I know that in San Francisco the on

Building projects have been extremely successful especially if they’re if they come with additional incentives from the local governments specifically ando financing i think is really wonderful because you know as a utility you know what the credit worthiness or the credit worthiness in terms of you see that somebody’s been paying their bills over

The past you know five years ten years and you know that they’re going to continue to pay that bill so there’s less risk potentially involved in getting the payback from financing some of these types of projects so that’s what I think that’s been really successful as well where those

Funds are available there’s also you know in Germany there’s an interesting project that the government is doing in terms of subsidizing some of these types of loans so it’s kind of a public public private partnership that they’ve created there that’s been really i think is the KfW bank that’s been really successful

So there’s really there’s some really interesting things going on globally but the traction I have to say has been quite slow in really getting this to the market one other kind of barrier that we’re seeing for example there’s a company called spark fund that’s providing financing and I think the real

Estate community looks at some of these projects and says okay well the interest rates are still too high for me to to to do these projects and where I think companies like spark fund and others are really seeing that that when they actually provide transparency to their financing opportunities they are they

Are a little higher so I think if governments step in and help subsidize that whether it be for to decrease the interest rates for some of these loans or two or to be able to back fill some of the loans in terms of the lost positions i think that that would be

Really helpful to getting more of these projects done it was helpful thanks Helen anybody else want to respond how about clay nope I think Helen covered it well anybody else all right well with that I think we will wrap up give you back four minutes of your time thank you

So much for joining us for this webinar and we have a couple of questions that we weren’t able to address in the time that we had we will have those and we’ll share them with the presenters and if they’re able to we’ll see if they are

Able to respond to those and share them back with them but people have asked the question so again this the recording of this will be available we’ll send out an email in the next couple of days with the recording link to the report link to the slides so you’ll be able to

Reference these materials as forward thanks so much for joining us and thanks to all of our presenters and co-authors on this report we really hope that this report will be a valuable resource a tool and guide book that you can go back to as you’re advancing your work thinking about what strategies are

Relevant to your community now and how that changes over time as you have successes and thanks so much and we wish you a wonderful rest of your day a vibrant I think her
