Report/Case Study
Drain water heat recovery (DWHR) as discussed in this report is the recovery of useful heat through a heat exchanger placed in the building drain system. This project was an effort to characterize the performance of drain water heat recovery systems as installed in commercial facilities. The concept was based on the observation that commercial occupancies can have hot water loads much larger than those in single family residences, and thus larger energy savings potential. More

To measure and claim savings tied to BPS policies, utilities need to develop attribution frameworks outlining actions they can take to support BPS policy adoption and compliance in their region. More
Report/Case Study
The Connecticut Green Bank (Green Bank) implemented the Residential Solar Investment Program (RSIP) from 2012 until the program achieved its statutory objective of facilitating the deployment of 350 MW-DC of residential solar generating capacity in Connecticut in 2022. This evaluation assesses RSIP's effectiveness in using ratepayer funds (as program incentives paid to residential customers) to accelerate residential solar adoption and offers recommendations for how the Green Bank may support the ongoing orderly and sustainable development of the state’s residential solar market.

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.
