摘 要:Energy efficiency retrofits (EERs) face many challenges on the path to scalability. Limited budgets, limited accessibility of envelope penetrations, cost effectiveness, and risk factors impact the type and the extent of measures that can be implemented feasibly to achieve energy savings goals. Group home retrofits can face additional challenges to those encountered in single-family homes, such as reduced access (occupant-in-place restrictions) and lack of incentives for occupant behavioral change. Building owners, operators, and other groups need to have a firm grasp on the feasibility and cost effectiveness of EERs to group homes. These stakeholders also need guidance regarding common risk factors and the potential impact on energy retrofit measures in addition to the impact of occupant behavior on building energy use. This is particularly the case for older buildings. This project studies the specification, implementation, and energy savings from an EER in a group home, with an energy savings goal of 30. This final report chronicles the retrofit measures specified, their cost effectiveness based on pre-retrofit and post-retrofit utility bill analysis, and the test results that were used to characterize pre-retrofit and post-retrofit conditions.
