DOE Total Funding: $699,832
Cost Share: $709,000
Project Term: September 2017 – September 2020
Funding Type: Scaling Up the Next Generation of Building Efficiency Packages Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0001518)

Project Objective

This project studies the synergistic interactions of daylighting, plug controls, automated fault detection and diagnostics (AFDD) and HVAC optimization. This project seeks to answer untested building science research questions about the complexity of integration among these components as they are applied within operational commercial buildings.

Project Impact

This technology works across two building systems to improve the building’s energy efficiency. If widely used, the package of daylighting techniques, plug loads, AFDD and controls for HVAC systems validated in this project could have savings of 756 TBtu per year, representing a 50% energy savings across the education, office, warehouse, lodging, healthcare and public safety building sectors.
