Energy efficiency and fuel switching reports for commercial-scale buildings
Peninsula Advanced Energy Community
New reports from the Peninsula Advanced Energy Community (PAEC) show the economics of eight energy efficiency measures for five building types: office, municipal (fire station), school, multifamily residential, and retail. Using a consistent approach to calculate payback, each report analyzes these same eight technologies:
- LED lighting conversion
- Building Management Systems (BMS) and advanced controls
- Reduction in phantom loads
- Higher-efficiency windows
- Improved insulation quality
- Replacement of obsolete air conditioning with higher-efficiency systems
- Heat pumps as replacements for natural gas space heating
- Alternative water heating systems
