Utilizing highly efficient technologies to augment or control building and facility systems is a cost-effective solution to accomplish decarbonization. From advanced lighting to smart building controls, DOE's National Labs work with partners to identify and analyze the latest technologies to ensure partners are implementing best practices in their buildings or facilities.
HVAC and Refrigeration
Space conditioning accounts for a large amount of a building's energy use, and efficient HVAC systems can help building owners save money and energy.
Lighting
End-use electricity use is largely determined by lighting, making energy-efficient advanced lighting an important strategy for energy savings.
Building Envelope
A high-quality building envelope is key to improving ventilation and reducing how much energy is needed to heat and cool buildings.
Energy Management and Information Systems
Implementing energy management and information systems and building controls can help save energy, often with rapid payback.
Plug and Process Loads
Building appliances can consume electricity at a larger scale than most building owners consider.
Industrial Process Heating and Cooling
Efficient process heating and cooling strategies, like heat recovery, controls, and efficient operations can create large energy savings opportunities for manufacturing facilities.
Industrial Motor-Driven Systems
Motor systems are critical in manufacturing facilities and proper operation, maintenance, and controls can help reduce energy use.
Compressed Air Systems
Compressed air provides a safe and reliable source of pneumatic pressure for a wide range of industrial processes. Explore how a systems approach that utilizes appropriate technology and controls can reduce energy use for these systems.
