Intel’s Leadership in Renewable Energy
Intel Receives Green Power
Leadership Award from US. EPA:
• Intel is the largest corporate purchaser
of renewable energy in the U.S. and
holds the #1 spot on their Green Power
Partner list for the third consecutive year
• Nearly 50% of Intel’s purchased
electricity usage comes from renewable
sources such as wind and solar
Intel Site Solar Installations
Begin and Expand Quickly:
• Bangalore, India - solar water heaters
now saving 70,000 kilowatts per year
(2% of the site's electricity).
• Oregon, USA - a 100Kw electric PV
system on the roof of Jones Farm
campus, operational since 2008
• New Mexico, USA - solar
demonstration project highlighting PV
uses and benefits in data centers,
completed in 2008

Smart Buildings are Key to Smart Grid
Buildings are key to electricity usage and CO 2 impact
• 76% of US electricity is used by buildings 1
• 43% of CO 2 is generated by buildings 2
• Data centers are critical extreme case
Industry Challenge
• Make grid and buildings
smarter, make them
communicate
• Today most residential and
light commercial buildings
not smart

Benefits of HEMS-enabled Homes*
• Reduce consumer demand for energy, especially
during peak periods
‒ Saving consumers estimated $470/year
‒ 31% lower energy consumption
• Enable peak period pricing
• Reduce consumption of natural energy
resources, including coal and natural gas
• Major reduction in CO2 emissions

What Utilities are Facing on the Road to
HEMS
• Deployed technology must have an expected long life
• Maintenance must be easy and possible without sending
someone to the site
• Solutions should be flexible, because different customers
require different features
• Services = Revenue
• Engage, retain and grow the customer base
• Minimize total overhead/costs

Consortium: Positive Energy Buildings
• GIE Enjeu Energie Positive Consortium
• All aspects of building life-cycle represented:
Bouygues (construction), Philips, Siemens,
Schneider (BMS), Intel, Lexmark (IT), Tenesol
(PV), Steelcase, Sodexo
• Ten years ahead of regulatory requirements
• Positive energy building goal
• Target consumption:
– 62 kWh/m 2 /year
– 65 % less than a traditional building
• Electricity production
– 64 kWh/m 2 /year
– Solar panels, combined heat & power
generation, bio-fuel furnace
• Building 23,300 m 2 in Meudon now

Architecture Elements

Smart Buildings include Smart Occupants
Occupants control ~30% of building energy, could reduce it by ~12%
Need to enlist people to achieve fully energy efficient buildings

Convergence
- Integration of building
& IT infrastructure
- Enabled by wireless &
standards e.g. IP
Drivers
-Cost reductions & aging buildings
-Building rating schemes e.g. LEED
-Building codes & regulations
-National Energy Policy Factors
Inhibitors
-Relatively low cost of electricity
-Economy impacts new construction,
aggressive codes
- Split incentives: CapEx vs. OpEx
