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.
This presentation reviews the process for establishing a competency map for building energy auditors. Competency mapping was a component of CBEI's overall work in workforce development.
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 is working to address how energy consumption influences architectural style.
The EEB Hub is a founding sponsor of The Sustainability Workshop, a project-based learning school for 30 high school seniors selected from high schools throughout the City of Philadelphia and located at the Navy Yard.
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.
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 research on energy efficiency and occupant behavior in multi-tenanted buildings provides valuable insights into the challenges that confront the goal of achieving a 50% energy reduction in commercial buildings in the Greater Philadelphia region by 2014.
