The presentations, news, research summaries, reports, and technology overviews are collected here by focus area and represent the body of work developed by the CBEI partners during the 5-year project period. For additional information on market challenges, approach, and impacts, see each focus area overview.
The US needs to develop a coordinated program to architect and build the next generation power grid or Smart Grid, harness renewable energy sources and reduce its carbon foot-print while expanding generation and distribution capacities (see [3] for additional details).
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.
The EEB Hub is working to address how energy consumption influences architectural style.
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.
Energy use in the buildings accounts for 40% of the total energy demand of which the residential buildings account for 22% and the commercial buildings account for 18% of all energy usage.
This report presents research performed by Drexel University in Year One that explores the role of occupant behavior in building energy efficiency.
This report provides an overview of "Energy Chickens" which is a testbed game designed to evaluate data collection mechanisms, communication protocols, and feedback strategies for their consistency with the energy?saving goals of GPIC and appropriateness for deployment in commercial office settings.
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.
This report provides background information on the multizone model development process, gives background information on the inputs necessary for CONTAM model creation, and identifies opportunities to streamline the model development process.
