Commercial Buildings Integration and Deployment Summary of Technology Identification Activities The Technology Identification project was implemented in FY 2009 to (1) seek out innovative and new technologies—which might be unrepresented in the industry–for direct deployment to the Commercial Building Energy Alliances (CBEA); and (2) create market action. This report presents the technologies that were submitted to DOE for CBEA members to consider implementing. Companies need to do their own investigations, pilots, and demonstrations, and should communicate best practices and results to CBEA. CBEA members, manufacturers, and other industry players were invited to use an online nomination form on the DOE BTP website to submit energy-efficient products for consideration. Each submitter provided product descriptions (228 products in 6 technology groups), which were accepted starting in FY 2009 through the beginning of FY 2011 (see Table 1 for the product distribution and Appendix A for a complete list and description of each product). The descriptions provided in Appendix A were supplied directly from the submitters of the products.

Continuous optimization of building systems and metering equipment are provided. We connect to the existing building automation system and other devices and collect large quantities of otherwise discarded data. An Infometrics analyst performs monthly complex fault detection and diagnostics on these data using our algorithmic-based technology. The result: we expose previously undetected issues with the BAS and other systems. The Infometrics analyst then develops a report for the building owner/manager that includes the following: List of issues/problems, corresponding recommendations for repair, an energy calculation for each problem to prioritize the issue by dollar value, a carbon calculation per issue, and backup data/how we developed our assessments. Infometrics reports provide clients with predictive maintenance, sustainability, and savings. Strategos rooftop Lennox MSAV technology stages blower motor to match demand for cooling. For HVAC units with MSAV International Inc. example, when there is a low demand for cooling and one compressor is (Multi-Stage Air running, the unit will reduce airflow to save energy. As the cooling Volume) supply demand increases, and the unit adds additional compressors, the unit fan technology will increase airflow to provide more cooling capacity. Optimum TRAV Optimum Energy, Optimized control strategy for direct digital controlled (DDC) variable air HVAC LLC volume (VAV) air handling systems. Energy Recovery Airxchange, Inc. Rotary enthalpy wheel recycles exhaust air heat/cool energy to supply HVAC of Ventilation Air air, reducing the heating/cooling energy to condition this air by 70% or better. PureTrac Building PureChoice, Inc. PureTrac is an Internet based data acquisition and information reporting Controls and Performance platform providing building owners/stakeholders a tool for managing the Diagnostics Software performance of their building(s). Power-e Glass Radiant Glass Power-e Glass turns industry standard Insulted Glass units (IG) into Envelope Industries radiant heat sources by running dc current through a low-e coating. The glass needed for the product is off-the shelf Tec-15 glass from Pilkington. This can be the primary heat source for virtually all buildings with any significant ratio of windows to external wall square footage. Simulations run at Kansas State University indicate this heating system uses 35-45% less energy than forced air natural gas convective systems. Quantum Cool Endothermic Endothermic Reactive Solutions Endothermic Chamber Technology, Refrigeration Green Efficiency Solutions Endothermic Reactive Solutions, work with existing coolers and freezer Products systems, but reduce kWh by 60% and maintenance by 25% while maintaining lower average temperature and reduced humidity. Heat Pipes Heat Pipe These heat pipes are used in commercial and industrial HVAC systems: 1. HVAC Technology to save energy by transferring sensible heat and 'cooling' from the exhaust air to preheat or precool the incoming outside air 2. to save energy in facilities that are already using reheat to maintain temperature and humidity by replacing the reheat and reducing the cooling load 3. to reduce the humidity in a space by reducing the Sensible Heat Ratio of the equipment and, in DX systems, reducing the leaving dewpoint from the AHU XPS223 POWER Xedia This is a Power Factor Optimizer. It works on 3PHASE wiring. It reduces Electric SQUARE Technologies kva and kvar therefore reducing kilowatts consumption. Energy Storage Product Manufacturer Brief Description (Submitted to DOE; Claims Not End Use Name Verified) Ayus Technology Ayus Technology Utilizing natural low energy high impedance frequencies to treat water is Water a unique approach introduced from advances in nano-technology and Systems quantum physics. The treatment increases water's carrying capacity significantly reducing scaling, surface tension, and wetting angle. This has a very wide range of significant affects from increased efficiency in heat transfer, reduced water required for irrigation, reduced water required for soluble chemical (fertilizer) dispersion, personal hydration, fuel economy, etc. Turbo Wind Mill Windation Energy Wind turbine with a 5KW generator rating, permits and installs like a Electricity 5000 for urban Systems Inc commercial AC on commercial building roof tops, safe to wild life and Generation buildings humans with no exposed moving parts, and connect to the building grid with high quality 60Hz 220V or 440V connection.

Restaurant RenewAire LLC RenewAire proposes a unique, simple and reliable application design for HVAC application of our commercially available ERV products that will cut restaurant ERV (Energy ventilation loads by 50-70%. The application provides exhaust and fresh Recovery air supply to the dining area and makeup air to the vicinity of the exhaust Ventilation) hood in the kitchen. The air flows can be easily balanced to provide slightly positive pressure in the dining area and slightly negative pressure in the kitchen. The need for a rooftop unit dedicated to makeup air is eliminated in most climate zones which covers a significant portion of the cost of the ERV system. Interior glass Pilkington North Pilkington Energy Advantage Low-E Glass is produced by depositing Envelope storm panel America, Inc. microscopically thin layers of metallic oxides by the chemical vapor fabricated with a (Pilkington Energy deposition process during float glass manufacturing.
