Exhibit IV.3. Intelligent <strong>Buildings</strong> <strong>Measurement</strong> PriorityTest Beds <strong>for</strong> Developing and Evaluating NZE TechnologiesScopeAll intelligent systems <strong>for</strong> new and existing commercial and residential buildingsTechnology Innovation or ImprovementThere is a lack of test bed infrastructure <strong>for</strong> developing and evaluating NZEBtechnology. A NEES-like cyber infrastructure to support physical, virtual, andhybrid test beds would help speed up and standardize evaluation and validation,provide bases of comparison, and reduce duplication of ef<strong>for</strong>t. The infrastructureshould include concepts of modularity and reuse-ability, standardized details,methods <strong>for</strong> tests and test beds that enable evaluation of different technologies, anda third party testing laboratory to do evaluations.<strong>Measurement</strong> <strong>Science</strong> Challenges and Potential SolutionsChallenges• Unwillingness of owners of resources(databases, software, labs) to share• Assurance of quality and applicability oftest bed elements (data, models)• Cost and time to establish and maintainthe test bed infrastructureStakeholders and RolesGovernment . . . . . . . . . . . . . .National Laboratories . . . . . .Industry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Private Research Institutes. .Academia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Trade Groups . . . . . . . . . . . . .Standards Organizations . . .Potential Solutions• Specify the scope and functionalrequirements of test beds with inputfrom industry• Define and implement test bedcomponents and their operatingparameters• Achieve stakeholder acceptancerequires technologies to be validated in test bedparticipate in development/host test bedparticipate in definition and support development oftest methods and test bed itselfparticipate in definition and use of test bedgenerate testing methods to be embodied in test bedsupport/encourage adoption of test bed usageRELATIVE IMPACTS Low HighImproves <strong>Energy</strong> EfficiencyAccelerates InnovationEnhances CompetitivenessProvides Societal BenefitsSupports a Healthy Environment*********************************32 <strong>Measurement</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Net</strong>-<strong>Zero</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Buildings</strong>
