BuildingMV is a measurement & verification (M&V) tool that quantifies whole-building energy savings from efficiency and retrofit projects. Working from monthly or daily utility data, it builds a weather-normalized baseline of a building’s energy use using temperature change-point (3P/4P/5P) and degree-day regression models and compares it against actual consumption following the industry-standard IPMVP Option C methodology.
The SABER (Simplified and Automated Building Energy Retrofit) tool is an interactive building retrofit analysis tool that automatically generates and calibrates detailed building energy models using a novel algorithm that adjusts operational schedules based on building energy signatures for accurate performance. It evaluates both individual and combined energy efficiency measures and uses a sequential optimization search to identify the most cost-effective retrofit packages, providing a unified framework for advanced building retrofit analysis.
The Electric Panel Sizer tool automatically determines the appropriate electrical panel size for a home by analyzing user-provided information such as home size, electrical circuits, and connected appliances to estimate the total electrical load. It streamlines residential electrical planning by applying standard load calculations to recommend a properly sized service panel, helping users and professionals make informed design decisions.
