The EEB Hub aims to achieve dramatic increases in energy efficiency in buildings by developing and demonstrating market proven integrated whole building solutions to achieve energy savings.
A key objective of the EEB Hub is to provide successful demonstrations of integrated building design methods that lead to deep, reliable cuts in energy use while improving overall asset value overall in real estate markets.
Building 101 in the Navy Yard is the temporary headquarters of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficient Building Hub. The building, owned by the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC), has become one of the nation’s most highly instrumented commercial buildings.
The purpose of this study was to assist GPIC investigators in understanding how aspects of energy efficient building components affect occupant satisfaction, performance, and wellbeing.
This research roadmap is focused on conducting research using existing and state-of-the-art building components and systems in an integrated fashion.
This document demonstrates the modeling methodology for in-duct air and cooling coil ultraviolet germicidal irradiation components and systems for application to Building 661.
This document provides a general narrative regarding recommendations for Building 661 that outlines the current state of technology and its potential to provide an energy efficient lighting system for this building.
The following paper provides a review of existing literature on the building occupant and his or her behavioral characteristics.
This first-year report for the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC) Energy Innovation Hub assessment task summarizes the efforts during the second half of the first year of GPIC’s operation.
Reviewed in the Benchmarking Report which describes both the principles behind window glazing performance, and applications in the industry.
This report investigates an integrated approach to building controls that strive to achieve and maintain energy efficiency and high performance building environments.
This report is the first generation profile of the available and cost-effective technologies and integrated systems that provide measurable energy savings for existing commercial buildings.
In this study, minimization of life cycle costs for building materials and operational energy consumption of a reference office building is achieved through numeric optimization of some key envelope design parameters by the use of combined simulation and optimization techniques.
This study is the second phase of simulation-based parametric analysis conducted on Building 661 case.
