Retrofitting the existing building stock represents the largest and fastest way to reduce energy consumption for the DoD. However the current retrofit delivery process is manually intensive and expensive, focused on equipment selection for initial cost and not energy performance, and the design tools are not amenable to systems solutions that have the potential for substantially reducing energy consumption in buildings. Systems methodology and tools are necessary to deliver deep ...
The goal of this project was to demonstrate a whole-building performance monitoring and anomaly classification system in two DoD buildings. The specific objectives of the project were to demonstrate a model-based whole-building monitoring system and establish its ability to: (1) Identify, classify, and quantify building energy and water consumption deviations from design intent or an optimum; (2) Support classification and identification of root causes of such deviation; (3) Support recommendations ...
