“The big picture doesn’t just come from distance; it also comes from time.” -Simon Sinek   Climate change is becoming an increasing concern.  The private sector, individuals as well as state, local and federal governments are seeking to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  As the energy used in all buildings, including homes, is cited as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, how do these entities get an accurate metric on emissions?Is there a way to use this info to address when energy is used in a home?As well as how much home energy consumption can be reduced? Philip Fairey, Deputy Director at Florida Solar Energy Center, and David Goldstein, Energy Efficiency Advisor at the National Resources Defense Council, join us to provide an update on the RESNET Carbon Index. The RESNET Carbon Index is the first-of-its-kind carbon rating index which addresses the critical issue of greenhouse gas emissions stemming from energy use in a home. The index can help with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting and as a basis for green bonds.   The existing RESNET HERS Index already looks at patterns of energy use by the hour of the year. It is a straightforward task to translate the energy profile into an emissions profile using the hourly CO2e emission rates and electricity generation emission projections as published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). All joking aside, it’s about time.   David and Philip explain how it is now a straightforward process to calculate the comparative emissions of two houses. For example, the emissions from a new house with, or without, efficiency and solar can be examined to see how much electrification and clean energy can help. Or one can compare a house as-is with how it would look with a deep decarbonization retrofit.

EP113 Update on RESNET Carbon Index with Philip Fairey and David Goldstein

What is the RESNET Index Adjustment Factor (IAF) with Philip Fairey of the Florida Solar Energy Center   Taste as you go. When you taste the food throughout the cooking process you can adjust as you go. -Anne Burrell   Feedback (tasting) and adjusting make a better recipe. RESNET is all about feedback.   Join us as Philip Fairey, Deputy Director of the Florida Solar Energy Center and Secretary of the RESNET Board of Directors unravels the story behind the development of the Index Adjustment Factor (IAF), also called the Home Size adjustment factor in Addendum E-2018.   The IAF stemmed from anecdotal reports that unwarranted HERS credit was given to larger homes, or that smaller homes were penalized.    These inequities in rating calculation were believed to be caused by the presence of two factors causing the HERS index to fall: larger conditioned floor area and greater number of stories. Additionally one factor, a greater number of bedrooms, was observed to be causing the index to rise.   After extensive research and detailed modeling, the IAF was developed and has helped to significantly reduce the range of variation for all three factors.   To learn more, including in depth technical details, see slides from Philip’s presentation at the 2019 RESNET Conference at this link: www.bit.ly/RESNET-IAF   The IAF is baked in to the modeling software and does not cause any change to the responsibilities of a Rater or RFI and does not increase the cost of HERS ratings. NOTE: HERS Raters will be required to use the size adjustment compliant software on homes that are issued a building permit on or after January 1, 2019..
