The strategic focus of CBEI is on full-spectrum retrofit of existing average size commercial and multi-family residential buildings. This report reviews the integrated design process for the CBEI headquarters building.
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.
EEB Hub is participating in the planning process that will chart the path for the first major growth and upgrade of the Navy Yard independent unregulated electric grid in many decades.
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.
