TECHNICAL ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL

DOE -Energy Consumption Characteristics of Commercial Building HVAC Systems The technical potential for energy savings is defined as the annual amount that can be saved relative to “typical new” equipm ent options. Equipment options are characterized based on their technical energy-savings potential, development status and non-energy benefits. Additionally, each one is rated for end user acceptance as well how it competes with conventional HVAC technologies in the marketplace today. (1 quad = 1 quadrillion BTU)

TECHNICAL ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL PRIORITIZATION

The DOE developed an innovative scorecard to assign a numerical score all available technologies. The five point scale is used to evaluate each metric and determine which technologies will have the greatest impact on your business. This includes an additional maturity score (development status) that has no effect on ranking but can help you decide between options more easily when looking at all of them together!
