Hayward’s Zero Net Energy Policy for Municipal Buildings

RICAPS Webinar – September 27, 2016

ZNE Policy

Adopted on May 17, 2016:

All new City buildings and all major renovations of existing City buildings that begin design after January 1, 2017, shall be zero net energy.

ZNE Definition

A Zero Net Energy building is one that produces as much energy, based on the value of the energy produced, as it consumes over the course of a year

Benefits of ZNE Buildings

 Energy Independence  Local Resiliency  Healthier Environment  Lower Operating Costs  More Comfortable Living and Working

Spaces

State of California Goals:

 all new residential buildings will be ZNE by

2020

 all new and 50% of existing state-owned

public buildings will be ZNE by 2025

 all new and 50% of existing commercial

buildings will be ZNE by 2030

Existing City Ordinance

 Current ordinance requires all new City

building or renovation projects exceeding 20,000 sq. ft. or $5 million to be LEED Silver certified.

 LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental

Design) standards do not require using any Renewable Energy

General Plan Policies

NR-4.10 Public Renewable Energy Generation NR-4.11 Green Building Standards PFS-2.3 Sustainable Practices PFS-2.7 Energy Efficient Buildings and Infrastructure

Considerations

 Different building types have significantly different

energy use intensity (EUI).

 Renovations with tight budgets may prove difficult to

achieve this goal.

 The more stories the building has, the more

challenging and expensive ZNE becomes.

 Some sites have limited solar power potential.  Extra design and engineering effort = higher costs.  Initial construction costs would increase.

Sustainability Committee

Staff Proposed:

 all new City buildings that begin design after 2025

be ZNE

 all existing City buildings for which renovations

exceeding 50% of the building’s value and that begin design after 2025 be ZNE

 lesser improvements to existing City buildings should

include efficiencies and technologies that facilitate achieving ZNE by 2030.

Policy Recommended by Sustainability Committee & Approved by Council:

 all new municipal buildings designed and

constructed after January 1, 2017 be ZNE

 all new and existing municipal buildings for which

renovations exceed 50% of the building’s value and are designed and constructed after January 1, 2017 be ZNE

 lesser improvements to existing municipal buildings

should include efficiencies and technologies that facilitate achieving Zero Net Energy by 2030

ZNE Policy continued

 For buildings where it is not possible to install on-site

renewable energy sufficient to qualify as ZNE, the building shall be “ZNE Capable”. ZNE Capable means that the building achieves energy efficiency performance similar to a ZNE building, but it does not have sufficient on-site power generation to qualify as ZNE; and

 For buildings where it is not possible or not feasible

to install on-site renewable energy sufficient to qualify as ZNE, the building or site shall provide as much renewable energy as is feasible and the balance of the electrical demand shall be offset by newly installed renewable energy facilities at

• ther City-owned properties.

Feedback for NBI

• Municipal staff like “getting into the weeds”
• Make it clear the Charrette focuses on one theme- municipal

facilities OR community

• Need more time , even a series of meetings to prevent fatigue
