Impact of Energy Efficient BuildingsImpact of Energy Efficient Buildings• A 50 percent reduction in buildings’ energy usage would be equivalent to

taking every passenger vehicle and small truck in the United States off the road.

• A 70 percent reduction in buildings’ energy usage is equivalent to eliminating the entire energy consumption of the U.S. transportation sector.

? WHY ?84% of energy consumed in buildings is during the use of the building

DESIGN, CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION OF WHOLE BUILDING SYSTEMS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THERE …

GPIC-HUBMission and GoalsMission and Goals

• Transform the commercial/institutional building retrofit environment by providing means and methods to improve energy efficiency by 50 percent that can be readily adopted by industry and is implemented in the marketplace over the next 10 years.

• The strategic market focus of the HUB is on full-spectrum retrofit of existing average size commercial , institutional and multi-family residential buildings in the 10 county region defining greater Philadelphia.

• Regional Focus is key differentiator between GPIC and other DOE funded HUBS,EFRC’s, ARPA-E, National Laboratory Buildings Research…

• Stimulate private investment and quality job creation in the Greater Stimulate private investment and quality job creation in the Greater Philadelphia region and beyond Philadelphia region and beyond
