Mexican Coalition for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (AEAEE)

Founded with public and private members: CONUEE National Energy

Efficiency Commission, Aislantes Minerales, POLIOLES (50% BASF) and

OCF Mexico.

Today, 17 private companies, 7 Mexican public agencies and many national

and international NGO´s.

AEAEE building partners


Propose legislative amendments and new laws to promote

energy efficiency in buildings.

Promote the concept, proper design and use of thermal

envelopes in buildings.

Represent its associates in national and international

forums.

Mitigate climate change.

AEAEE GOALS

Lead the way with stakeholders and end-users of energy to

reap the big savings potential of energy efficiency in

buildings while promoting sustainable development.

Develop an energy efficiency culture.

Investigate, document, promote and implement standards

and regulations for energy efficiency in Mexico.


Steps to design and implement ZEH in Mexico


Alliance to Save Energy Honors Mexico’s President Calderón, for Promoting Energy

Efficiency on low income housing, 2009

2006


Development and promotion of a voluntary standard adopted by CONAVI and

INFONAVIT.(sustainable requirements incorporated into CONAVI Housing

Model Code): NMX-C-460-ONNCCE-2009: Construction industry – Thermal

Envelope – «R» Value by climate zones in Mexico – Specifications and Testing.

National training programs on NMX-C460-ONNCCE-2009, targeting architects,

engineers and building supervisors (all regions, more than 1,700 participants in

2 weeks).

“Green Mortgage”.

Subsidies program “Esta es tu casa

Active AEAEE participation in programs with the Mexican government to

promote energy efficiency in housing:

Workshops with stakeholders

Design and implementation


• Zero Energy Housing program started in Mexico in October 2009, in cooperation withthe following institutions:

Environment Canada

International Energy Agency

CONAVI and INFONAVIT (government)

CONUEE (government)

URBI (Leanhouse) (home developer)

Corporación GEO (home developer)

UNAM (academy)

SEMARNAT (government)

ENTE (expert)

Energy Efficiency Coalition (REEEP)

NAIMA

Design and implementation


Official logoZEH program, Mexico

Charrette goals:

• One day workshop to study the energy demand for a modelproject including the building envelope. Identifying allpossible energy reductions within a budget criteria formaximum ROI and GHG reductions. Use of renewableenergy sources

Structural elements

Arquitectural elements for shading and interior lighting.

Thermal insulation requirements by climate zone

Thermal mass and buildings orientation

Home appliances, solar thermal, PV panels, etc.

Modeling

5 design Charrettes starting February, 2010.


Achieve Zero balance between energy use and production of renewableenergy during a full year (to accommodate Mexican Power Companyrestrictions, new two-way smart meters).

Reduce energy consumption to the lowest possible, not to exceed lowestsubsidized rates, combining architectural and urban bio-climate design andthe use of government approved eco-technologies (solar water heating,CFL’s, insulation and AC efficient units, etc.) to achieve maximum energysavings and highest thermal and energy efficiency.

Install PV systems to generate energy during high demand, daylight time.

Lessons learned

Identify, and work with stakeholders, through specialized workshops

SEMARNAT & INE (Environment Secretariat)

SENER (Energy Secretariat)

CFE (Utility) and FIDE

CONUEE (Government agency for energy efficiency)

Home Builders

Develop and implement codes and standards:

Regulator (Secretaría de Economía)

Mandatory codes and standards (CONUEE)

Voluntary codes and standards (ONNCCE)

Development of Mexican products codes and standards

Testing, verification and certification

Housing Regulator (CONAVI)

Government and private financing (INFONAVIT & SHF)

Update building model code to include ZEH on sustainability chapter

(CONAVI), include ZEH under recently approved CDM.


International partners help influence local authorities, achieve scale for market

transformation.

Global trends, local solutions

Use of the same international metrics

Certification programs for architects, engineers and home builders. Next one to

be held the 25th of February 2011 at the INFONAVIT

Promote Labeling

Monitor Green Mortgage homes and Subsidies (federal government program) ,

as well as, new ZEH

Homes in Mexico can be built to achieve near ZEH goals and

be sold at current market prices, even on low income homes

($20,000.00 to $35,000.00 US dlls.)
