A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The eight buildings included in this study are all part of the Energy Edge project. Energy Edge encouraged construction of commercial buildings which were at least 30% more efficient than if they had been built to Model Conservation Standards. Bonneville Power Administration funding for the Energy Edge included paying for incremental design and construction costs, end-use monitoring, and several research studies. The results of the research are forthcoming. In a sense the Energy Edge buildings chosen for this study have been idealized through the modeling process. Measures which were not installed or did not function according to design specifications, were either assumed to perform according to design specifications or eliminated from the LCUP model. The full modeling protocol is included in the Appendix at the end of this report. Section 2 discusses some of the modeling issues that came up in the course of this LCUP study. The costs presented here should be used with caution. The lack of consistency in contractors' reporting methods makes it difficult to use the cost data as it now stands. Bonneville is currently funding a study to standardize cost data for all Energy Edge buildings. 135 figs., 32 tabs.
