As a participant in Department of Energy's national Better Buildings Challenge, the City of Milwaukee's Environmental Collaboration Office and local partners developed a program to bundle and deliver energy efficiency services to commercial buildings and help bring energy efficiency technologies developed by DOE's Building Technology Office to market. This report summarizes the programs and its results.
Existing commercial and retail buildings represent roughly 40% of the total electricity sales by utilities across the United States. Current programmatic efforts focus on individual technologies and struggle with comprehensive impactful energy retrofits due to cost-effectiveness concerns, customization requiring specialized contractors, and disruption of building operation. The SoCal Edge program, operated by the Los Angeles Cleantech (LACI) Incubator and the LA Better Buildings Challenge (LABBC), promoted an innovative and integrated approach to achieving deep energy savings by leveraging portfolio properties and developing packages of technologies that can be specified into building retrofits and integrated into combined solutions that can transform the retrofit market in a truly meaningful way.

The Smart Labs Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is an initiative derived from The University of California, Irvine and is part of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Better Buildings Challenge. These carbon abatement strategies aim to reduce energy consumption of laboratories while also maintaining health and safety requirements. Smart Labs designs incorporate seven key principles which are: digital control systems, demand-based ventilation, low power-density demand-based lighting, exhaust fan discharge velocity optimization, pressure drop optimization, fume hood flow optimization, and commissioning with automated cross-platform fault detection. As the ALDCP Smart Labs team for the summer of 2021, the scope of the project is to determine the energy savings within building 03-1698 (Material Science Laboratory - MSL). Over the past couple of years, the Sustainability Group has been adding Smart Labs upgrades into the MSL building and the summer team would like to understand the impact made for the overall energy consumption/demand and safety for the building, determine the overall return on investment (ROI), and recommend more Smart Labs upgrades that can be added to the MSL building. The goal is to enable the UI FOD (Utilities and Infrastructure Facility Operation Division) to promote more Smart Labs projects in the future and further the reputation LANL and DOE facilities have of being leading examples of developers of high performing buildings.
Action plans are tools for commercial building owners to create pathways for reducing energy use and decarbonize, hence reducing carbon emissions. This template and associated direction manual provides a method for creating an action plan. Originally created for the Better Buildings Low Carbon Pilot, it can also be applied to the Better Buildings Climate Challenge and for any building owner striving towards lower carbon footprints.
This guidance and accompanying checklist detail recommended services and deliverables for a building-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction audit focused on Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
