Presentation
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) spends $3.3 billion on energy each year, 15% of which is for lighting. Typical retrofits are LED-only, leaving additional savings (up to 70%) from advanced lighting controls stranded.
There is a huge knowledge gap in advanced lighting controls within DoD.
This project informs DoD managers, designers, and operators about advanced controls concepts, the principles of operations, and general cost-effectiveness of the most common control strategies.

Report/Case Study
Slipstream developed a video series to help professionals and college students understand how smart building technologies can improve building energy efficiency and resilience. More
Report/Case Study
A relatively new class of heat pump equipment could prove to be a good fit for manufactured homes and save more than half the energy usage of electric resistance heating. More
Report/Case Study
In 2019, Wisconsin became the first state in the Midwest to commit to being 100% carbon free by 2050. To decarbonize its grid faster and mitigate climate impacts, the state needs to accelerate the adoption of air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) to electrify residential buildings. To better understand the barriers in the way of widespread ASHP adoption, we conducted analysis on Wisconsin's residential building landscape, engaged market actors, and conducted a stakeholder needs assessment.
