Smart Energy Analytics are Key to Building Energy and Cost Savings

In October 2020, the DOE’s Smart Energy Analytics Campaign  released its final report on the cost and energy savings possible through Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS) technologies. The report shows that energy information systems (EIS) and fault detection diagnostics (FDD) technology installations had a 2-year simple payback. The median energy saving for EIS was 3% and 9% for FDD. This significant, data-driven demonstration of cost and energy savings illustrates the impact of analytics and the possibilities of increased energy efficiency without significant investment in building upgrades.

Report & Webinar: Electrifying Heating in Existing Commercial Buildings Could Cut Their Emissions 44%

Cities and states are increasingly looking at electrification as a policy tool to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Research has shown promise in the residential building and transportation sectors. However, comparatively little research had been conducted (so far) in the commercial building sector. Analyzing the commercial sector is complicated due to the wide variety of building types and often complex building heating and cooling systems.

In this webinar, ACEEE will present results from its new study investigating the electrification of commercial buildings HVAC retrofits, including energy and carbon savings, cost-effectiveness, and policy recommendations.

Webinar: EPA's 1-100 Water Score for Multifamily Buildings - What's My Score and How Do I Improve It?

Curious how your multifamily property stacks up against others in terms of water efficiency? EPA’s 1-100 Water Score allows users tracking water through Portfolio Manager to gauge how their properties compare against similar ones across the country. This webinar will cover how to generate the Score in Portfolio Manager and discuss how multifamily owners can use this new water performance metric to identify opportunities for water savings. Finally, learn about some of the best practices and tools to start saving water and improving your property’s Score.
