Green buildings–those which are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient–are estimated to consume 30-50% less energy than non-green buildings. Green buildings also use an average of 40% less water, emit
This adds a competitive advantage over competitors. For existing tenants (i.e. a tenant 4 years into a 10-year lease), solar provides an opportunity to extend leases. This
Tenant Influence • Building occupants directly and indirectly control a significant portion of energy use • Plug loads typically total 30% of building energy use • Tenant education and behavioral
NREL is significantly advancing the viability of thermal energy storage (TES) as a building decarbonization resource for a highly renewable energy future. Through industry partnerships, NREL researchers address technical barriers to
There are great incentives for multifamily building owners—and their tenants—to make energy efficiency improvements. Just ask Grant Hartley, building manager and co-owner of Diamond
Making changes to how the building uses energy is often the cheapest ways to reduce emissions and engages your tenants too. Helping to balance the energy grid At certain points in the year
The tenant improvement period offers a great opportunity to build energy efficiency into a tenant space. This fact sheet for large office leases provides guidance on how your property teams, leasing agents, and brokers can
Tables 140.10-A and 140.10-B in the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards list the building types where PV and battery storage are required, and the PV capacity factors for each building type in each climate
A significant portion of the energy used in a multi-tenanted building is controlled by the tenants. Managing energy consumption is often a balance between tenants and owners. The split
building energy modeling, building design, indoor air quality, thermal energy storage, and much more. The Federal Government is also active in creating voluntary industry efficiency
On-site solar energy is substantially cheaper than residential electricity from the utility, building owners can provide their tenants with a ~10% discount on energy from the utility rate while still
Thermal energy storage (TES) is a critical enabler for the large-scale deployment of renewable energy and transition to a decarbonized building stock and energy system by 2050.
NREL is significantly advancing the viability of thermal energy storage (TES) as a building decarbonization resource for a highly renewable energy future. Through industry partnerships, NREL researchers address technical barriers to deployment and widespread adoption of TES in buildings.
BTO's Thermal Energy Storage R&D programs develops cost-effective technologies to support both energy efficiency and demand flexibility.
Advances in thermal energy storage would lead to increased energy savings, higher performing and more affordable heat pumps, flexibility for shedding and shifting building loads, and improved thermal comfort of occupants.
The project is a collaboration between the Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office, Building Technologies Office, and Solar Energy Technologies Office to provide foundational science for cost-effective design and operation of hybrid thermal and electrochemical energy storage systems.
In the United States, buildings consume approximately 39% of all primary energy and 74% of all electricity. Thermal end uses (e.g., space conditioning, water heating, refrigeration) represent approximately 50% of building energy demand and is projected to increase in the years ahead.
