bEQ Ratings Help Owners Save Energy
ATLANTA—Energy use is one of the highest operating costs for building owners. It is also the most controllable. To help owners reduce their energy costs, a new building labeling program is available from ASHRAE that not only rates buildings according to the in-operation energy use but also provides owners with suggested measures that can improve energy efficiency. The Building Energy Quotient (bEQ) program assigns to buildings an energy usage quotient based on completion of an in-operation assessment that includes an ASHRAE Level I Energy Audit. “bEQ lets a commercial building owner zero in on opportunities to lower building operating cost and make informed decisions to increase value,” said Tom Phoenix, P.E., a consulting engineer in
bEQ label shows a building’s performance. Greensboro, N.C., who chairs the bEQ committee. “The ultimate goal of the program is to encourage more energy efficient buildings and give owners more control over rising energy costs.” The key component of the program is the in-operation assessment and the ASHRAE Level I Energy Audit, which serves as the industry standard for determining a building’s energy use and producing an actionable plan to improve building performance. To meet bEQ’s
requirements, the assessment must be performed by an ASHRAE-certified Building Energy Assessment Professional who will: • Perform a walk-through survey to become familiar with building construction, equipment, operation and maintenance. • Meet with the owner and operator to learn of special problems or planned improvements and operation or maintenance issues. • Complete a space function analysis and determine whether efficiency may be affected by functions that differ from the original functional intent of the building. • Identify low-cost/no-cost changes to the facility or to operations and maintenance procedures that will result from these changes with their approximate savings. • Provide a summary of special problems or needs including possible revisions to operations and maintenance procedures. • Recommend potential capital im-
