NREL Cyber-Security Policy
Evaluate policies and operations
to ensure effectiveness
– NREL currently used a
screensaver to lock unused
computers
• The screensaver consumes
on average 5W more than an
idle computer
– Instead of a screensaver, if
the monitors and computers
went into standby there would
be a savings of 70W per
person
– ~$500,000 of PV saved
– Anything multiplied by 800 is
a lot!

– Turn off elevator lighting when the elevator is
unoccupied
Break Rooms
– Increase the number of people that use each
break room from approximately 40 to 60
– Eliminate the cooler on the drinking fountain
Task Lights
– Move from 35W fluorescent task lights to 6W LED
task lights
Phones
– Go from 1000 standard phones to 1000 VOIP
phone that consumes 2W each
Copiers, Printers, Fax Machines
– Decrease the number people that use individual
copiers, printers and fax machines
– Increase the number of people that use common,
or group, copiers, printers and fax machines from
15 to 20
– Increase the use of all-in-one machines
Computers
– Go from approximately 260 laptops, 33% of staff,
to 720, 90% of staff, ensure standby mode works
for all workstations
Data Center
– Blade Servers with Virtualization
– High efficiency UPS
– 65W/employee current to 48W/employee in RSF
The result of these strategies is a 47% reduction in plug
loads

Operations Lessons – Plug loads
26
• Daytime loads lower than predicted
• Model did not account for actual occupancy
• Only ~75% of occupants actually at their desk any given
day
•Nighttime loads still difficult
• Programmable outlets added after the fact
• Automatic Laptop standby/hibernate functionality
deployed system-wide
• Monitors go to sleep well
• Laptops have insomnia (except Macs)
• Need a forced standby function and not rely on integrated
windows standby
• Ensure Wake-On-LAN functionality
• Staff have not fully utilized desktop based power strip
controls
•Continued staff educational programs
•Need to develop an optimal workstation plug load control
system
• Programmable power strips to disconnect all plugs at
night?
• Easy to use office plug load disconnect switch?

Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 1: Establish a PPL Champion
Purpose:
To initiate and help implement PPL strategies.
Skills needed:
• Understanding of:
• technical energy efficiency
opportunities
• design strategies
• Ability to:
• apply business model
• question operations, institutional
policies, and procurement processes
46
Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 2: Develop a business case for
addressing PPLs
Avoided Cost of Renewables (ACR):
Equates the cost of PPL efficiency measures to
avoided renewable costs.
Gives all parties a financial incentive to
investigate PPLs.
ACR for the RSF:
Used to justify demand-side efficiency measures.
1 Watt continuous saved = $33 worth of PV was
avoided. Additional loads must be offset with
renewables.
The PV cost avoided by PPL reductions
exceeded $4 million.

Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 3: Benchmark your conventional
equipment and operations
Methods:
• Submeter panels (if properly organized)
• PPL power meters
• Combination of submetering and equip.
spec. sheets can be used
Data:
• Understand when equipment is used
• Highlight opportunities to turn off
• Basis of comparison for financial
calculations

Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 4: Be willing to identify occupants’ true
needs
True need:
Equipment or procedure required to achieve a
given business goal or an assigned task.
Understand:
What do occupants produce as part of their
jobs and what tools do they require?
Every occupant, including those working in
sensitive operations must be accounted for.
Nonessential equipment:
•A business case must be made for continued
use.
49
Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 5: Meet needs as efficiently as possible
Search energy efficient equipment databases.
Nonrated equipment:
•Investigate the most efficient model
•Turn off when not in use (if possible)
Pay attention to parasitic loads.

Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 6: Turning it all off
Office buildings are typically unoccupied 66% of year.
KEY: Reduce power density during nonbusiness hours.
51Photo Credit: Jennifer Schieb
Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 7: Encourage the design team to identify
all applicable PPL strategies
Question standard specifications, operations,
and design standards.
Maximize space efficiency.
Integrate PPL control strategies into the
building’s electrical system:
•Switches
•Vacancy sensors
•Timed disconnects for outlets
•Controlling outlets through the Building
Management System (BMS)
Other loads:
•Elevators
•Transformers
•Process cooling systems
•Data centers
52
Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 8: Institutionalize procurement decisions
and policy programs
Day-to-day energy efficiency: Depends on
the decisions of occupants, facility managers,
and owners.
Identify decision makers who can:
• Institutionalize PPL measures through procurement
decisions and policy programs.
• Promote buy-in.
• Identify unbreakable and unchangeable policies.
53
Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 9: Address unique miscellaneous PPLs
EXAMPLE: Contractors and food service areas.
Building owner can contractually require or provide the most
efficient equipment available.
Case-by-case evaluation:
• Energy-efficient equipment may not be available and may
be restricted from being turned off (e.g. ATM)
• Manufacturers may be able to recommend alternatives.
54Photo Credit: Chad Lobato
Innovation for Our Energy Future
Step 10: Occupant awareness
Encourage and allow to “do good”.
PPL strategies should counteract “bad users.”
Emphasize importance of turning off personal
electronics when leaving a workspace.

  • 45. Innovation for Our Energy Future 10 Steps to Address PPLs 45 1. Establish a PPL Champion 2. Develop a Business Case 3. Benchmark Conventional Equipment and Operations 4. Identify Occupant’s Needs 5. Meet Needs as Efficiently as Possible 6. Turn It Off at Night 7. Design Team: Identify Applicable Strategies 8. Procurement Decisions and Policy 9. Address Unique PPLs 10. Occupant Awareness
  • 46. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 1: Establish a PPL Champion Purpose: To initiate and help implement PPL strategies. Skills needed: • Understanding of: • technical energy efficiency opportunities • design strategies • Ability to: • apply business model • question operations, institutional policies, and procurement processes 46
  • 47. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 2: Develop a business case for addressing PPLs Avoided Cost of Renewables (ACR): Equates the cost of PPL efficiency measures to avoided renewable costs. Gives all parties a financial incentive to investigate PPLs. ACR for the RSF: Used to justify demand-side efficiency measures. 1 Watt continuous saved = $33 worth of PV was avoided. Additional loads must be offset with renewables. The PV cost avoided by PPL reductions exceeded $4 million. 47Photo Credit: Dennis Schroeder PIX 17842
  • 48. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 3: Benchmark your conventional equipment and operations Methods: • Submeter panels (if properly organized) • PPL power meters • Combination of submetering and equip. spec. sheets can be used Data: • Understand when equipment is used • Highlight opportunities to turn off • Basis of comparison for financial calculations 48Figure Credit: Microsoft Clip Art
  • 49. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 4: Be willing to identify occupants’ true needs True need: Equipment or procedure required to achieve a given business goal or an assigned task. Understand: What do occupants produce as part of their jobs and what tools do they require? Every occupant, including those working in sensitive operations must be accounted for. Nonessential equipment: •A business case must be made for continued use. 49
  • 50. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 5: Meet needs as efficiently as possible Search energy efficient equipment databases. Nonrated equipment: •Investigate the most efficient model •Turn off when not in use (if possible) Pay attention to parasitic loads. 50Photo Credit: Chad Lobato
  • 51. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 6: Turning it all off Office buildings are typically unoccupied 66% of year. KEY: Reduce power density during nonbusiness hours. 51Photo Credit: Jennifer Schieb
  • 52. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 7: Encourage the design team to identify all applicable PPL strategies Question standard specifications, operations, and design standards. Maximize space efficiency. Integrate PPL control strategies into the building’s electrical system: •Switches •Vacancy sensors •Timed disconnects for outlets •Controlling outlets through the Building Management System (BMS) Other loads: •Elevators •Transformers •Process cooling systems •Data centers 52
  • 53. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 8: Institutionalize procurement decisions and policy programs Day-to-day energy efficiency: Depends on the decisions of occupants, facility managers, and owners. Identify decision makers who can: • Institutionalize PPL measures through procurement decisions and policy programs. • Promote buy-in. • Identify unbreakable and unchangeable policies. 53
  • 54. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 9: Address unique miscellaneous PPLs EXAMPLE: Contractors and food service areas. Building owner can contractually require or provide the most efficient equipment available. Case-by-case evaluation: • Energy-efficient equipment may not be available and may be restricted from being turned off (e.g. ATM) • Manufacturers may be able to recommend alternatives. 54Photo Credit: Chad Lobato
  • 55. Innovation for Our Energy Future Step 10: Occupant awareness Encourage and allow to “do good”. PPL strategies should counteract “bad users.” Emphasize importance of turning off personal electronics when leaving a workspace. 55Photo Credit: Jennifer Scheib
