Cove.tool is using OpenStudio to integrate detailed energy simulation into its reduced-order modeling design platform, giving architects an end-to-end workflow with capabilities tailored to the needs of different design stages.
The Better Buildings Building Envelope Campaign, introduced in 2020, involves more than 75 participants in efforts to create more energy-efficient buildings by improving building envelope performance.
DOE has released a report, Changes in SSL Device Efficiency and Optical Performance with Aging: Final Report, focusing on the long-term changes in light source, optical delivery, and spectral efficiencies that occur as SSL device age.
For the past five years, DOE and the national labs have been developing a next-generation simulation engine that bridges the worlds of BEM and controls. In May of this year, Spawn, was released as part of the Modelica Buildings Library.
On April 12, 2021 EnergyPlus, DOE's flagship BEM engine celebrated its twentieth birthday. Several of those who were there at the beginning look back at those early days and remark on the changes they've seen in the last two decades.
The Solar Decathlon Competition Guide, 2022 Design Challenge Rules, and 2023 Build Challenge Rules are now available to the public.
Funding will advance low-carbon building materials, processes, and technologies through the 2021 BTO Laboratory CRADA Call
The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the energy-efficiency workforce, especially for those service providers, such as home performance professionals, whose work requires in-person home visits.
The time has arrived for buildings to stop being inefficient energy consumers and start being flexible energy resources.
This week, Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm announced $54 million in funding for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) research and development projects.
