ACEEE did a study in which, in its release, it describes the “whole elephant” method for commercial building retrofits:
We found that the market for commercial building retrofits is growing and there is a huge potential for program involvement. Leading programs have innovatively designed incentives that encourage deeper savings. In addition to monetary incentives, we observe that programs providing streamlined, end-to-end support tend have more satisfied customers. Effective programs not only help identify savings, but also take the extra step to help procure funding, provide technical assistance, and offer incentives for ongoing optimization.
We also found that exciting developments at the intersection of information technology and energy efficiency have enabled access to granular, real-time energy-use data and advanced analytical capabilities. Software solutions utilizing these data and capabilities are creating new opportunities for whole-building assessments, identification of comprehensive savings, and automated monitoring and tracking of energy-systems performance. We believe that advanced data analytics has the potential to help scale up and prioritize the pool of prospects for comprehensive retrofits.
The headline, anyway, reads as if it were written for EleBlog!
