Tykeson Hall - Oregon Model for Sustainable Development Adjustment <br />Background: <br />Sustainable Development (OMSD) which are allowed per the . Martina Oxoby <br />Campus Plan <br />challenges in meeting the Advanced Energy Threshold because of a series of upgrades to <br />the Oregon Energy Code. <br />AETs, but reaching the prescribed 35% improvement over the current energy code would <br />on the energy performance of the building. Currently, the energy model shows that the <br />building is performing 34% better than the 2014 Oregon Energy Code. This is approximately <br />45% better than the 2010 Oregon Energy Code. <br />Discussion: The following is a compilation of questions and comments from the committee and <br />guests. These were addressed by the project team and discussed through the course of the <br />meeting: <br />• The Oregon Energy Code changes fairly often. Does it make sense to require 35% better <br />performance than a moving target? <br />• The Oregon Energy Code will be updated again in 2017. There will be more and more <br />challenges in meeting the 35% threshold required by the AET particularly because the <br />not predict that when this principle was drafted. <br />• There are plans for the committee to have a more robust and informed conversation <br />about amending the AET after this project's adjustment request is reviewed. <br />• Once the major energy strategies have been included in the project, pursuing the <br />energy-saving strategies that have lower overall impacts are disproportionately <br />expensive. <br />• <br />need to rethink our goal language. <br />• When the OMSD was drafted, there were many 50-60 energy-saving measures available <br />which would improve energy savings above code requirements. Now, about 50 of these <br />measures are included in projects to meet code and the remaining 10 only improve the <br />building performance fractions of a percent. <br />• If an amendment is proposed in the future the language should be clear and easily <br />comprehensible to the general public. <br />Action: The committee agreed with twelve members in favor and one abstention that the <br />proposed Tykeson Hall - Oregon Model for Sustainable Development Adjustment is <br />acceptable per the allowances of the and recommended to the president that <br />Campus Plan <br /> <br />
