Residential High-Performance Windows Measure Package Development

The project team developed a measure package for residential high-efficiency windows to the standards of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requirements for measure packages. The measure package, including all major characterization sections and supporting energy modeling files and outputs, is ready for submittal to the California Technical Forum (Cal TF) for review and approval. s. For energy savings methodology, the Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER) Residential Building Prototypes were used for building energy modeling simulation. The measure package utilizes eligibility criteria specified in the ENERGY STAR® Program Requirements for Residential Windows, Doors, and Skylights, Version 7.0, and provides two measure offerings: new construction and retrofit high-efficiency residential windows.
