SUSTAINABILITY CAN BE PROFITABLE
BUILDINGENERGY NEW YORk CITY
by the NORTHEAST SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION WITH
Welcome from Conference Chair, Andrew Padian Welcome to BuildingEnergy NYC. Last year, a few of of us got together and hosted the first BuildingEnergy NYC, focused on making multifamily buildings more sustainable. We started planning just before Sandy hit, and five weeks later we had 170 building industry professionals swapping their lessons learned at our oneday event. An idea was born. Building Energy NYC (BENYC) is a collaboration between two sustainability-focused organizations, the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) and GreenHomeNYC. Both groups encourage people to work together to make the built environment more sustainable, and NESEA depends on GreenHomeNYC to serve the demanding New York audience with monthly forums, career advancement programs, and certifications in building efficiency. For this conference we’ve tapped local experts across the building spectrum to show us how to make our city buildings more sustainable, durable, safe, and resilient. We haven’t finished cleaning up after Sandy, yet our progress and our lessons learned in the past year can benefit many in the building professions. This is a conference FOR building professionals BY building professionals. Many of us who have been at it a long time strive to pass our knowledge on so young professionals don’t have to reinvent the wheel. There is no advanced degree that is equal to what we’ve all learned on the job, and at BENYC, we are sharing only those solutions that work. I hope you will enjoy BENYC with your friends and colleagues. I know you will get years of knowledge from this single day, and make lasting connections with building professionals who are doing great work. —F. L. Andrew Padian Vice President for Energy Initiatives The Community Preservation Corporation

Workshops
All workshops are held offsite, Tuesday, October 15 from 2:00PM to 5:00PM additional fee required to attend ❚ What Local Laws 84 & 87 Mean and How to Get the Most Out of Them Workshop Speaker: Erica Brabon, Steven Winter Associates 307 7th Ave, Suite 1701, New York, NY
The Greener Greater Buildings Plan includes LL84 & 87, requiring owners to take a look at their buildings, energy and water usage, understand where the potential energy conserving capital upgrades are and fixing operations issues. Learn how to use this as an opportunity to cut costs, maximize operational efficiency and plan for future capital upgrades once armed with the capital planning tool that is LL84 & 87.
❚ Green, Healthy and Cost Effective Property Management Practices Workshop Speakers: Jesse Elton, LISC, Colleen Flynn, LISC, Mike Davis, LISC, Dena Davis, WSFSSH 501 7th Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY
Many newly constructed affordable housing buildings are adopting green and healthy building practices. Such practices have been slower to take hold in existing buildings. Learn how to bring green and healthy practices to existing affordable housing buildings to increase the overall health and wellness of residents and staff and save money through energy and water savings and more efficient and effective operations. This session will focus on projects that completed energy efficiency projects in multifamily affordable housing buildings while transitioning to use green cleaning supplies and non-toxic pest management, provide a smoke-free environment, encourage active living, and consume less water. Bring your questions to this interactive discussion about how REAL property owners and managers “green” their portfolios.
❚ What’s NEW - NYS Energy Code 2013
Workshop Speaker: Carl Ian Graham, Viridian Energy & Environmental, A Vidaris Company Location TBA; please check the website or app for updated information.
The Department of State is close to finalizing a 2013 Supplement to the State Energy Code for commercial buildings. The U.S. Department of Energy initiated this action, requiring a review of all State building codes and their energy efficiency standards vs. ASHRAE 90.1-2010. The 2013 Supplement includes modifications to the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1-2010. What does this mean for owners and design teams? What needs to change?
❚ Cogeneration: A resilience retrofit strategy for Multifamily housing Workshop Speakers: Dominique Lempereur, Enterprise Community Partners 1 Whitehall Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY
For many families affected by Sandy, the lack of electricity was an even bigger issue than the storm itself. While backup power and cogeneration systems have been available for decades, very few are actually installed in multifamily buildings. This session will address small cogen systems as a valuable technology for combining backup power and energy efficiency in multifamily buildings.
❚ Energy Financing 101: Upgrade When You Refi
Workshop Speakers: F.L. Andrew Padian, Community Preservation Corporation, Sadie McKeown, Community Preservation Corporation, Andrew Giglio, Community Preservation Corporation 28 East 28th Street, 9th Floor, New York, NY
The best time to invest in sustainability, energy efficiency and resilience for your building is during debt refinancing. But most bankers and energy geeks don’t speak the same language. This can make the potential perfect marriage of sustainability and refinancing more like negotiations in a divorce. Learn how these important sectors of the building world can speak each other’s language, put a great scope of work together that will make the building more efficient, increase cash flow to make paying the mortgage easier, and simplify the next refi. 3 | nesea.org/be-nyc

8:30AM-10:00AM
Session 1 Split incentive and split responsibility: Who screws up what?
Location: Jolson
Speakers: Dan Egan, Vornado Realty Trust; Paul Reale, Environmental Consultant; Nicole Sherwood (moderator), Jonathan Rose Companies Owners expect to benefit from savings resulting from their investments in energy-conserving upgrades, but traditional leases are structured so that tenants receive the benefits of the savings. A panel of a specialist on green leases, reps. of a major portfolio manager/owner in the Northeast, and a high-profile retail tenant will explore split incentives between owners and tenants related to energy cost saving investments in commercial multi-tenant buildings. The session also will highlight tenant improvement best practices that ensure tenants do not negatively impact the energy efficiency of base building systems. Location: Cantor
Real Buildings, Real Results, No BS
Speakers: Nancy Biberman, WhedCo; Eric Marshall, Rose Associates; Michael Sturmer, Lemle & Wolff; Jason Block (moderator), Steven Winter Associates After an energy audit, owners, managers, and boards are often left trying to determine the best next steps, available funding, what to prioritize, and the contractor for the job. Hear from real owner/managers on real projects with real energy saving results that incorporate incentive programs, Local Law 87, heating system conversion, resiliency and combined heat and power. Location: Salon B
Renewables and Resilience: The Perfect Marriage
Speakers: Lyle Rawlings, Advanced Solar Products; Brian Riccitelli, SMA America Cogeneration, Solar PV and Battery technologies can work together to create backup power solutions. Case studies from a school that implemented a solar/backup generation solution and a commercial facility that combined solar PV and batteries to provide both a backup power solution and an additional revenue stream will demonstrate the possibilities.
Under the Local Law 84 Radar: Zipping up Exposed Small Buildings
Location: Barrymore
Speakers: Jeremy Shannon, Prospect Architecture; Bob Gardella, Assocation for Energy Affordability Small buildings under 50K ft2 account for approximately 32% of New York City’s total energy consumption, yet energy-efficiency retrofits of small buildings often lack the economies of scale of larger buildings, making implementation less affordable for owner/managers. Practitioners are often faced with the difficult task of educating small building owner/managers about the long and short term pros and cons of deep retrofits, passive house and “shallow” retrofits within the confines of a restricted budget.
New NYC Codes for Resilience
Location: Salon C
Speakers: Mark Ginsberg, Curtis + Ginsberg Architects, LLC; John Lee, NYC Mayor’s Office of Long Term Planning and Sustainability; Elizabeth Derry, Community Preservation Corporation Post Sandy, NYC and the surrounding region changed the way we looked at our many building codes and regulations, and their impact on cash flow and occupants. Hundreds of practitioners worked with the Mayor’s Office to suggest resiliency changes the codes. Get the latest updates on these codes, and what it means for your buildings.
Cogen A to Z
Location: Salon A
Speakers: Les Bluestone, Blue Sea Development Company; Jesse Douglas, Veolia North America Cogeneration presents a compelling opportunity to reduce energy costs and improve resilience, the benefits of which have been ampified by low natural gas prices. But, design and installation can be complex. Learn the process of installing a cogen system in NYC from practitoners who have done these projects on commerical and multifamily buildings.

Session 2
10:30AM-12:00PM
Servicing, delighting, hosting, and entertaining: And we have to give you sustainability, too?
Location: Jolson
Speakers: Veronika Ruf, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.; Gary Levitan, Saks Fifth Avenue; Steven Winter (moderator), Steven Winter Associates Hotels, retail stores and museums have unique energy conservation opportunities and constraints. Each is open to the public, who use them in large numbers and expect an extraordinary experience. Systems in these buildings are often designed to enhance the user experience and to protect treasured contents. We will explore how owners and managers can minimize energy costs for operational viability, while protecting contents and providing an exceptional experience.
Steam Heat: Tech Tips for Successful Operation
Location: Cantor
Speakers: Dan Rieber, NMIC; Jonathan Flothow, Steven Winter Associates; Sam Weisenberg, Bright Power Many large multifamily buildings in NYC have steam systems, which are notorious for overheating. In a new approach, these systems are being retrofitted with orifice plates, 19th-century devices now adapted to modern conditions. Learn about steam operation, why these systems waste fuel, how to maximize efficiency, how orifice plates work, what a project costs, and what work is involved.
Next Steps in Renewables: Impact of Increased Penetration
Location: Salon B
Speakers: Richard Perez, SUNY-Albany; Lyle Rawlings, Advanced Solar Products Practitioners and building owners looking to see the bigger picture of renewables and their impact on the grid will learn about what increased benefits all ratepayers can experience from the increased penetration of renewables and how the existing grid infrastructure can handle even greater percentages of renewable power. Attendees will also see how renewables can actually provide enhanced grid dependability and stability.
Benchmarking Small Buildings: The Little Guys Matter!
Location: Barrymore
Speakers: Conor Laver, Bright Power; Rachel Seraspe, Willdan Energy Solutions An unintended consequence of Local Law 84, which mandates benchmarking of buildings over 50K ft2, may be that smaller buildings in NYC fall further and further behind in energy performance while their larger counterparts can refer to existing reports to gauge their building’s performance against other similar buildings. The small building owner/ manager is often in the dark as to how their building performance and costs stack up against other, similar buildings, impeding efficient property management. “
My “Aha!” Moment or What made you learn the ways of the Force?
Location: Salon C
Speakers: Les Bluestone, Blue Sea Development Company; Brad Molotsky, Brandywine Realty Trust; Nicole Sherwood, Jonathan Rose Companies; Sukyana Paciorek (moderator), Vornado Realty Trust Practitioners, owners, managers, and bean counters: many of you have not learned the ways of the Force. Listen to these four seasoned professionals who were once non-believers, semi-believers, or just worker bees, and find out what changed both their thinking and their tune.
The Next Big Thing? Big Cost-Effective Savings from Demand Response
Location: Salon A
Speakers: Doug Staker, Demand Energy Networks; Erik Fisk, CB Richard Ellis Energy storage and demand response projects are the new frontier in energy management. The grid is becoming increasingly dense and difficult to manage as demand from cities continues to grow. Accordingly, ISOs and utilities both offer programs that allow building owners to turn demand response systems into profit centers. Learn how to implement an energy storage or demand response system in your building and generate cash flow.

1:30PM-3:00PM
Session 3
Location: Jolson
Measuring, So You Can Manage
Speakers: John Flaherty, Tishman Speyer; Marc Zuluaga, Steven Winter Associates; Vanessa Ulmer, NYSERDA FlexTech Program If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Measuring building energy performance in commercial and institutional buildings includes measurement of performance in an entire building through benchmarking, and measurement of specific building elements, such as air leakage in vertical shaft-ways. Energy audit and retro-commissioning benefits will also be described: tools for ensuring that building owners derive the benefits they paid for during compliance with NYC’s Local Law 87. Location: Cantor
Real Financing, Real Quick (Financing for People with Short Attention Spans)
Speakers: John Skipper, ConEdison; Lindsay Robbins, NYSERDA; Chris Diamond, NYCEEC; Pat Logan, Enterprise Community Partners; Sadie McKeown, Community Preservation Corporation; Robert Allgor, National Grid; Jesse Elton, LISC In Pecha Kucha style format, 7 experienced professionals will have have 7 minutes to explain how they have navigated planning and executing financial products, as well as grant resources, demonstrating real programs and models that will be accessible to the audience. Location: Salon B
Economics of Solar PV & HW in Today’s Market
Speaker: Sara Ross, Sungage Learn about the latest in PV modules, inverters, mounting and monitoring technologies and which of these technologies are right for your clients’ environments. We will investigate the current PV module shakeout and discuss what we should be looking for in a module manufacturer, namely, bankability. We will also take a look at the issues of central site inverters vs. string inverters, 600V vs. 1000V, and the use of micro-inverters and DC optimizer. Location: Barrymore
Neighborhoods: Building Back After Sandy
Speakers: Steven Bluestone, The Bluestone Organization; TBA from HUD and HRO-Mayor’s Office Thousands of coastal residential buildings were lost to Sandy, and rebuilding presents institutional, political, and neighborhood challenges. We will discuss how NYC released an inventive RFQ to use federal dollars to rebuild housing to higher levels of performance. Further, we will examine how this will meet the goals of the various governments, developers, and most importantly, the communities that will re-occupy these neighborhoods.
Learning to Look: How Paying Attention Gets Real Results
Location: Salon C
Speaker: F.L. Andrew Padian, Community Preservation Corporation Energy and cost saving results don’t often meet expectations and the ensuing frustration results in a loss of objectivity. Mostly science and part psychology, this session explores buildings where the process worked and savings were realized by spending time on site, working with the staff and crunching numbers. We’ll cover a simple set of steps to assign priorities for building improvements based on cost, multiple benefits, short and long-term planning, and finally, your financing.
200 Million Square Feet of Lessons from Commercial Building Air Barriers
Location: Salon A
Speaker: Larry Harmon, Air Barrier Solutions Addressing air leakage in large buildings can be a daunting task. Evaluation of large building envelopes is not always easy and quantifying energy savings can be difficult. Learn how to locate, measure, and mitigate air leakage issues in large buildings with the insights of a seasoned pro with the experience earned from air leakage evaluations of over 200M ft2 of commercial buildings.
SUSTAINABILITY CAN BE PROFITABLE | 7
Session 4 Resilience in Commercial and Institutional Buildings
3:30PM-5:00PM Location: Jolson
Speakers: Nat Oppenheimer, Robert Silman Associates; Basilia Yao (moderator), OLTPS Sandy reminded New Yorkers how operational interruptions in a hospital, an art museum, and a major national retailer are catastrophic to human life, to national treasures or to the bottom line—so getting emergency preparedness right is critical. Hear from commercial/institutional buildings owners for whom emergency preparedness matters most.
Water, Water, Water… Everywhere
Location: Cantor
Speakers: Warren Liebold, DEP; Steven Bluestone, The Bluestone Organization; Mary Tchamkina, Enterprise Community Partners Having trouble figuring out how to save money on your water bill, or how to conserve water in your multifamily building? In this session the DEP will present on their new and existing programs and incentives. We will also explore new innovative technologies and real conservation methods that have worked for building owners in NYC.
What’s Next in Solar Photovoltaics?
Location: Salon B
Speaker: Richard P. Lewandowski, Center for Evaluation of Clean Energy Technology Building owners will learn about the cost of building solar PV and HW systems in the tri-state area, including expected paybacks and IRRs. Who is a candidate for solar? What steps are required to get started? We will review existing federal and state programs (NY, NJ & CT) and detail various financing options that will include purchase, lease, and PPAs.
One Pipe, Two Pipe, Minisplit, More
Location: Barrymore
Speaker: Henry Gifford, Architecture and Energy Limited Heating, cooling, and domestic hot water systems in small to mid-sized buildings have been done six ways to Sunday – steam, hydronic, central, PTACs, sidearm coils, indirect, direct, tank, tankless, single boilers, staged boilers, atmospheric, sealed combustion, window units, minisplits… you name it. We will discuss the basics of the most common heating systems in existing buildings, options for improvements, strategies for new construction, and what to consider if looking into minisplit systems.
Energy Management on the Cheap: How to Start without Cash
Location: Salon C
Speakers: Ken Savelli, Park Tower Mangagement Ltd.; Peter Bourbeau, PWB Management Sandy DeJohn, Binghamton University; Lloyd Kass (moderator), NYPA If you’ve got a medium to large building in need of an energy and water diet, and you’ve got no cash, you probably have no idea where to start. Let a group practitioners from across the region share how they began their trek down the road to a more sustainable building.
The Most Important Building System in Sustainability and Resilience: It’s the Financing, Stupid
Location: Salon A
Speakers: Sadie McKeown, Community Preservation Corporation; Courtney Horwitz, Omni New York LLC Many owners complain about the cost, ROI, and “payback” of energy retrofits; meanwhile, they will routinely make capital improvement, code compliance, curb appeal, tenant comfort, and cosmetic improvements when they refinance their debt. This session will explore owners, managers, and building staff who understand that energy efficiency, sustainability, health and safety, and resilience measures should all be part of the refinancing plan.
