The study looks at and compares three different approaches and energy modeling tools and protocols.

You can also review a fully detailed description and full PDF version of the NYSERDA report here. The five design cases created and modeled using the three tools and protocols described above are listed below. This case study emulated a typical high-rise multifamily building designed and constructed in New York State based on the DOE/PNNL Prototype Models. The goal of the study is to create equivalent building performance targets for each certification program with the intent that the submitted projects achieve similar energy performance to qualify for incentives offered through NYSERDA’s new MF NCP, regardless of which energy modeling tool and protocol are followed. The study is part of NYSERDA’s exploration of alternative approaches and standards to promote high-performance buildings to supplement the ENERGY STAR® Multifamily High-Rise (MFHR) program, which NYSERDA has supported in the past. This program follows the goal of 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that New York State set as part of the Clean Energy Fund (CEF), one of the pillars of the Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) program launched in 2014. NYSERDA conducted the study to compare standards and methodologies to inform its development of the Multifamily New Construction Program (MF NCP). The results of that study were released this past October, and we’re excited to share some of the summarized highlights that show we are on the right track with PHIUS+. For example, over the past several years, NYSERDA has partnered with PHIUS and other organizations to offer qualified students substantial fee reductions for passive house professional training.įor the past year, PHIUS has collaborated with NYSERDA on a vital study of multifamily buildings in New York.

NYSERDA has been at the forefront of promoting adoption of passive building in NY State. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) promotes energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy resources. – James Ortega, PHIUS Certification Staff
