In fulfillment of that obligation, the DOE posted its Government Regulatory Impact Model (GRIM) and National Impact Analysis (NIA) spreadsheets.

The project was led by GRID Alternatives, the country’s largest nonprofit solar installer, which is launching its new mid-Atlantic presence with this neighborhood project to install solar energy systems on 10 Habitat for Humanity of Washington D.C. homes.

As many as 3,000 parameters can be specified when modeling a building’s energy use. Newly developed “Autotune” calibration software reduces the amount of time and expertise needed to optimize building parameters for cost and energy savings.

From economic, environmental, and energy security perspectives, a sector responsible for this much energy consumption requires significant attention, noted Tom Phoenix, ASHRAE president.

The study, conducted by USGBC education partner Pearson, using data provided by Burning Glass, found 9,033 U.S. job postings from March 2013 to February 2014 that required a LEED credential. 

Conservation Services Group (CSG) announced that Ken Neuhauser, M.Arch., MSc. Arch., LEED AP, has joined its expanding Consulting Services division. Named a senior project manager, Neuhauser brings almost two decades of energy efficiency and building design experience to CSG.

BuildingIQ, a leading energy management software company, announced that its technology has been chosen by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for its Green Proving Ground Program. The program aims to help government buildings move toward net-zero-energy classification and meet targeted sustainability goals.

The market for building energy management systems (BEMS) for small and medium-sized commercial buildings is expanding as building owners and managers demand more energy savings and easier ways to manage energy use in their facilities, notes Navigant Research.

The energy used for cooling the facility is controlled by strictly managing airflow using outside air to cool the facility.

Three-quarters of decision makers at U.S. companies have invested in energy-efficiency programs in the past 12 months, and more than half (56 percent) project their investment in energy efficiency next year will be more than last year, according to survey results released by Schneider Electric.
