Exhibit III.6. On-Site <strong>Energy</strong> Production <strong>Measurement</strong>PriorityBridge Gap Between Design & Per<strong>for</strong>mance CommissioningScopeRenewable on-site generation <strong>for</strong> new and existing commercial and residentialbuildingsTechnology Innovation or ImprovementHigh per<strong>for</strong>mance on-site energy production systems are being developed and arenecessary to achieve net-zero energy buildings. However, meeting the goals <strong>for</strong> net-zeroenergy buildings depends on whether the actual per<strong>for</strong>mance of the on-site energygeneration system meets the design predictions. Tools are needed to accurately predictsystem per<strong>for</strong>mance, as well as identify system problems and enable corrective actionsas needed.<strong>Measurement</strong> <strong>Science</strong> Challenges and Potential SolutionsChallenges• Sensors to monitor system per<strong>for</strong>mance• Models to predict system demand• Tools to project optimal per<strong>for</strong>mance,compare to actual and provide troubleshootingand diagnostic in<strong>for</strong>mationPotential Solutions• Low-cost sensor technology• Predictive per<strong>for</strong>mance modelingsystems• Field demonstrations of tools afterlab developmentStakeholders and RolesGovernment . . . . . . . . . . . .National Laboratories . . . .Industry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Standards Organizations .Trade Groups . . . . . . . . . .Academia . . . . . . . . . . . . .measurement protocols, technical assessment, andper<strong>for</strong>mance modelingdevelop sensorsASTM/UL/ASHRAE (advisory)Solar/Wind <strong>Energy</strong> Association (advisory)USGBC (advisory)RELATIVE IMPACTS Low HighImproves <strong>Energy</strong> EfficiencyAccelerates InnovationEnhances CompetitivenessProvides Societal BenefitsSupports a Healthy Environment*********************************************18 <strong>Measurement</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Net</strong>-<strong>Zero</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Buildings</strong>
