ENERGY SAVINGS POTENTIAL AND RD&D OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDING HVAC SYSTEMS

Preface

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Building Technology Office (BTO), a part of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) engaged Navigant Consulting, Inc., (Navigant) to develop this report on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for commercial buildings. This report is an update to a 2011 report of the same name and incorporates new market information, technology trends, and BTO research priorities. The activities identified in this report are Navigant's recommendations to BTO for pursuing in an effort to achieve DOE's energy efficiency goals. Inclusion in this report does not guarantee funding; activities must be evaluated in the context of all potential activities that BTO could undertake to achieve their goals.
