While there has been significant progress in improving energy efficiency at the whole building and individual equipment levels, focusing on building systems is increasingly necessary to achieve deeper energy savings. A first step toward enhancing systems efficiency is strengthening measurement and verification of systems-level improvements, which requires a degree of consensus on the types of system-level metrics to deploy that would quantify and benchmark building system efficiency. This seminar discusses opportunities to improve building systems efficiency through standards, technologies and policies that support the development and application of system-level metrics.
