Exhibit IV.1. Intelligent <strong>Buildings</strong> <strong>Measurement</strong> PriorityExtracting Effective Model Inputs by Mining StandardizedDataScopeAll intelligent systems <strong>for</strong> new and existing commercial and residential buildingsTechnology Innovation or ImprovementThere is currently a lack of uni<strong>for</strong>mity in metrics used to quantity and monitor energysavings in buildings (e.g., kWh, dollars saved). Uni<strong>for</strong>m data would provide consistentinput to energy efficiency strategies and improve the reliability of models used topredict energy savings. Both are essential to determining the per<strong>for</strong>mance of net-zeroenergy buildings. Models are needed to incorporate both external and human (i.e., nonenergy)parameters, such as weather and behavior patterns.<strong>Measurement</strong> <strong>Science</strong> Challenges and Potential SolutionsChallenges• Variations in cost and energy source• Need to collect cost data along withmeasurement data in real timePotential Solutions• Standardized data collectionmethods• Data analysis protocolsStakeholders and RolesGovernment . . . . . . . . . . . .National Laboratories . . . .Industry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Private Research InstitutesAcademia . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Standards Organizations. .Trade Groups . . . . . . . . . . .funding <strong>for</strong> mission-oriented programsmodel developmentwriting standards, arbitration <strong>for</strong> final decisionmakingaggregate data from industryR E LATIVE I MPACTS L ow Hig hImproves <strong>Energy</strong> EfficiencyAccelerates InnovationEnhances CompetitivenessProvides Societal BenefitsSupports a Healthy Environment*******************************30 <strong>Measurement</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Net</strong>-<strong>Zero</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Buildings</strong>
