What is an ‘Integrated Energy Retrofit?’
The best way to
improve the energy efficiencyof a building is by
taking a holistic approach to energy projects and financial measures to achieve an optimal result.

Identify Opportunities
Evaluate Capital Projects
Perform Comprehensive Energy Study
Conduct Theoretical Minimum Energy Workshop
Create Baseline Model
• Facilitated workshop to develop energy project concepts:
• Owner• Manager• Brokers• Marketing personnel• Community• Government• Tenants• Visitors
Step 1 … Set the baseline and your target!
• Review current capital projects
• Review timing and priorities
• Sort projects by energy impact potential
• Use qualified energy engineers to review all aspects of building energy consumption:
• Create eQuest energy model against which potential projects can be compared
ASHRAE Level 2 Audit
• Evaluation of equipment condition
• Review energy consumption and comparison of energy use intensities to norms
• End use analysis - major systems/processes
• Identification and quantification of costs and benefits of energy conservation opportunities
• Recommendations for implementation
• Completion of ASHRAE forms
• Review makeup air compliance
Comprehensive energy study
Comprehensive, Integrated Study
• Building envelope
• Tenant plug loads
• Lighting
• HVAC
• BMS
• Etc.
Theoretical Minimal Energy (TME) Workshop
• Open to new ideas — even those that seem impossible
• Not: “won’t work”, but “didn’t work because…”
• One conversation at a time!
• Encourage one another’s participation
• Build on others’ ideas —combining or adding to ideas need not imply criticism
• Think across disciplines
• Have a beginner’s mind
• Question assumptions

Estimated CostsMeasure Energy Impact
Evaluate Concepts
• Calculate potential costs for each project identified in the Energy Workshop
• Plug each idea into eQuest to generate model
• Perform financial analysis on each project to determine Return on Investment
• Calculate energy impact of each concept, including estimated greenhouse gas emissions
Step 2 … Process of elimination

Measures that only affect the Base Building Measures within Tenant Space
Annual Energy Savings (kBtu)
Energy Savings: Base Building vs. within Tenant Space
The Business Case – integrated approach
• Better thermal comfort resulting from better windows, radiative barrier, and better controls;
• Improved indoor air quality resulting from DCV; and• Better lighting conditions that coordinate
ambient and task lighting. • Positive ROI• Tenant Prebuilt Program and Design Guidelines
Tenant spacesEnhanced work environments are created

Step 3 … Review integrated options
Create Packages
Parametric Runs Calculate NPV/CO2Energy Performance Contract
Develop/Select Energy Packages
• Use eQuest to plot trade-offs of each project between cost and energy impacts
• Savings of 3 to 5% year-over-year with low and no cost opportunities
• Savings can reach 20 to 30% or higher with capital for energy efficiency investments
• Reduces capital expenditures and manages utility cost risk
• For selected package, scope out costs and performance indicators.
• Create contract for JLL to implement IER program, including performance measures
• Assemble concepts into 4 optimal models to evaluate
• Select the final package
Balance financial return & carbon reduction
A solution that balances CO2
reductions and financial returns is in this range.
There are diminishing (and expensive) returns for greater efficiency.
Chicago Union Station
• Green Globes (Phase I) provided an intensive overview of sustainability picture and opportunities for improvement
• Phase II energy audit provided a deeper dive into conservation opportunities specific to electricity/gas/steam consumption
• Union Station had unique combination of existing fixed infrastructure elements and core and shell project(s) underway ====� Energy model assisted in analyzing energy consumption from multiple perspectives and provide anticipated results from the combination of existing and future
ECM - assumed ‘best bundle’
• ECM #1 – Demand Control Ventilation Strategy
• ECM #2.1 – Chiller Capacity Reduction (one 750-ton chiller) Consider utilizing one 750-ton chiller in lieu of two OR ECM #2.2 – Chiller Capacity Reduction (two 500-ton chillers) Consider utilizing two 500-ton chillers in lieu of two 750-ton units.
• ECM #3 – Great Hall Skylight Improvement Consider applying tinted film to entire Great Hall skylight to reduce Shading Coefficient by 50% (SC=0.35).
• ECM #4 – Daylighting Control Strategy
• ECM #5 – 50% Roof Replacement Consider 50% of the roof as new with an R-value of R-25
• ECM #6 – Window Replacement Consider all window systems on the 2nd and 3rd floor as new/modified with a U-value of 0.31 and a Shading Coefficient of 0.48. It is also assumed the new/modified window systems will reduce infiltration by 25%.
Recommendations moving forward
• Perform low cost/best practices in conjunction with infrastructure improvements
• Perform ECMs which show less than 5 year payback
• Assign JLL personnel as site energy manager. Primary responsibility will be to ensure execution of best practices, initiatives, and infrastructure improvements are in line with results from energy model
• Much of the window and roof replacement is in the works. Use JLL assigned energy manager to assess net effects of various design considerations as they are considered

Step 4 … Reality
Implement Projects
Plan/Design Budget/Schedule ImplementBid & Award
• Oversee installations, process changes, training and project commissioning
• Create IER plan, including timeline
• Create drawings and specifications
• Finalize budget• Establish work schedule
• Coordinate project bidding and contract awards
RADIATIVE BARRIER: Install insulated reflective barriers behind radiator units located on the perimeter of the building.
Implementation example – insulation installation
WINDOWS: Remanufacture existing insulated glass units (IGU) double-hung windows to include suspended coated film and gas fill.
Implementation example – window retrofit
Implementation example – chiller plant retrofit
CHILLER PLANT RETROFIT: The chiller plant retrofit project can include the retrofit/replacement of existing chillers in addition to upgrades to controls, variable speed drives, and primary loop bypasses.

Practical Next Steps…
1. Triage your building portfolio based on renovation cycle/portfolio strategy
2. Create a Sustainability Master Plan including retrofit projects, design standards,
lease structure changes, tenant energy management programs, marketing
initiatives, employee programs and corporate strategy
3. Commit to an integrated, whole-building retrofit approach: Conduct whole-building
audits rather than single measure projects
4. Require performance guarantees with ongoing measurement and verification of
savings to reduce risk and maintain performance
5. Engage tenants, employees, building occupants and vendors in energy savings
efforts through training, tools and technology
6. Continue to improve by creating the proper culture and processes
7. Promote and reward success!!
