Deep Energy Retrofit Guidance for the Building America Solutions Center
@inproceedings{Less2015DeepER, title={Deep Energy Retrofit Guidance for the Building America Solutions Center}, author={Brennan D. Less and Iain S. Walker}, year={2015} }
The U.S. DOE Building America program has established a research agenda targeting market-relevant strategies to achieve 40% reductions in existing home energy use by 2030. Deep Energy Retrofits (DERs) are part of the strategy to meet and exceed this goal. DERs are projects that create new, valuable assets from existing residences, by bringing homes into alignment with the expectations of the 21st century. Ideally, high energy using, dated homes that are failing to provide adequate modern…
