This Field Assessment is to test the potential energy performance of homes that have crawl spaces that will be sealed and made to become part of the building envelope, hence conditioned space. This Field Assessment seeks to discover other, non-energy benefits to Conditioned Crawlspaces (CCS). The...

The goal of this project is to establish a whole building M&V approach based on the short-time interval energy use data (collectively known as “M&V 2.0”) for the University and possibly Public Sector environment that is simple to apply but accurately captures real savings from existing conditions...

Evaluate LED retrofit modules/signs for energy savings and luminance. Test performance against baseline linear fluorescent and appropriate municipal codes for Street Name...

This project will measure the performance of an emerging technology nominal three-horsepower (3HP) high rotor pole Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with software-controlled inverter, compared to a baseline nominal 3HP baseline induction motor controlled by a Variable-Frequency Drive (VFD) in...

Utilizing insulating stucco will result in reduction in energy usage and leakage in...

This assessment involves recruiting current customers to participate in a simple schedule optimization program via push notifications from connected thermostats. This optimization program will make small temperature adjustments one degree per week for up to three week to arrive in a new thermostat...

The proposed Demand Flow project includes both hardware and software components. The intent of the project is to increase plant efficiency by automatically resetting plant flow and temperature...

Advanced monitoring for temperature, moisture and energy use in two (2) houses per development as called for by the technology, strategy or assembly being installed. Monitoring is necessary to confirm energy savings, temperature reductions and moisture mitigations heretofore untested and only...

Evaluate potential water sources, including stored rainwater, for use with evaporative condensers. Systematically test influential water quality parameters (calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, pH, and hardness) on the formation of scale in bench-scale evaporative condensers. Construct and test a model...

Investigate problems and assess the feasibility of proposed solutions for distribution and sales of HVAC energy efficiency products. Observe and interview key stakeholders involved, including decision-makers and facilities personnel. Develop specifications and best practices for creating a market...
