PERFORMANCE FOR EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

Technology Deployment +

Integration

We partner with research institutions, community energy demonstration projects, and technology vendors interested in developing living laboratories for testing, certification, and training support.

We help promising residential and commercial technologies get to market by ensuring their integration with the built and grid-connected environment.

ENSURING PROGRAM SUCCESS

Measurement

+ Verification

We work with program implementers to evaluate measures for demand response and energy efficiency and ensure incentives are properly aligned. Through smart meter and interval data analysis, we provide critical support for leading utility and community energy implementers to manage over-generation risk. Our expertise with M+V also includes:

• Energy efficiency measures (EEM) development and solution codes
• Research design, analysis, and reporting for market assessments and programs
• Economic and environment impact analyses

OPTIMIZING TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS

Building Energy

Optimization

Data-driven engineering analysis can improve control and predictability of building energy and generate significant cost savings. We help property managers and building owners align energy use with utility tariffs and select the best energy efficiency upgrades and retrofits. We provide a robust analytical framework, tools, and decision criteria to help clients optimize their technology investments. Our expertise include:

• Building energy audits (ASHRAE I, II & III)
• Energy modeling
• Energy retrofit project management and implementation

REGULATORY STANDARDS EXPERTISE

Standards +

Specifications

D+R has expertise in developing standards, voluntary specifications, and test procedures for building technologies on behalf of regulatory agencies and energy efficiency organizations. We understand how to design technical analyses, engage with stakeholders, and move specifications from road-mapping to finalization.  Our technical experience includes:

• LED lighting and controls
• HVAC and heat pump water heating
• ADR communication protocols
• Building envelope, windows and window attachments.
