Abstract
The paper explains the major steps in Energy Master Planning process. It proposes a definition of target goals. Then, a number of constraints have to be analyzed in order to be able to define site specific framing goals and associated limitations. This process will narrow the numerous design options down to those that offer an optimized fit to the local conditions and the objectives for the building or community. Based on the target definition a Baseline can then be developed. This consists of a snapshot of the current energy use situation. The baseline is one reference point used to evaluate alternative futures. Then Base Cases will be developed that extends the baseline into the future and includes already-funded renovation as well as planned construction and demolition activities. The base case is a future reference point for “business as usual.” Different alternatives – A selected set of scenarios that include different energy measures related to buildings, distribution systems, and generation systems will then developed. These scenarios are compared to the baseline for energy use change and to the Base Case for investment and operational costs.
Highlights
Until recently, most planners of public communities addressed energy systems for new facilities on an individual facility basis without consideration of communitywide goals relevant to energy sources, renewables, storage, or future energy generation needs
The paper explains the major steps in Energy Master Planning process
The analyses will be based on findings from countries participating in the International Energy Agency’s “Energy in Buildings and Communities Program Annex 73” The analysis will cover design constraints such as emissions, sustainability and resilience goals, and regulations and directives, and regional and local limitations such as available energy types, local conditions, and community objectives and illustrate how a comprehensive consideration of these can be used to guide the planner toward design options that will lead to an optimum solution for a master plan
Summary
Most planners of public communities (military garrisons, universities, etc.) addressed energy systems for new facilities on an individual facility basis without consideration of communitywide goals relevant to energy sources, renewables, storage, or future energy generation needs. The analyses will be based on findings from countries participating in the International Energy Agency’s “Energy in Buildings and Communities Program Annex 73” The analysis will cover design constraints such as emissions, sustainability and resilience goals, and regulations and directives, and regional and local limitations such as available energy types, local conditions, and community objectives and illustrate how a comprehensive consideration of these can be used to guide the planner toward design options that will lead to an optimum solution for a master plan. The paper will propose a comprehensive table of framing goals and associated limitations and a suggested process that the master planner can use to narrow the numerous design options down to those that offer an optimized fit to the local conditions and the objectives for the building or community
