Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s EBCx Catalyzer is working nationwide with building owners, utilities and commissioning providers to expand adoption of building commissioning as a cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs.
Learning objectives
- Understand the basics of EBCx market drivers.
- Understand how to take advantage of EBCx market opportunities.
- Show how commissioning can adapt to regionally specific and building owner requirements/opportunities.
- Learn how to talk to building owners about what commissioning can and cannot do with regard to managing ongoing building energy performance.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s EBCx Catalyzer has been working with building owners, jurisdictions, utilities and commissioning providers to facilitate increased market uptake of existing building commissioning services. This session will discuss efforts across the U.S. where the EBCx Catalyzer aims to drive increased commissioning activities in support of improved efficiency and cost-effective utility cost reductions.
