Small Commercial Building Re-Tuning: A Primer
Energy costs typically make up a significant portion of overall building operation expenses, yet between 10 and 30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted because of improper and inefficient operations. To help building owners, building managers, and their operations staff address this issue, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has developed a building re-tuning training curriculum to identify inefficient operations, detect energy savings opportunities, and implement improvements. Re-tuning is a systematic process of identifying and correcting operational problems at no or low cost. Re-tuning instructional materials have been developed for two general categories of commercial buildings: (1) large1 commercial buildings with building automation systems (BASs) and (2) small- to medium-sized to commercial buildings without BASs. Because the re-tuning training for buildings without BASs is intended for a diverse audience, some participants may need additional background information to understand concepts presented in the training. This document provides background information specifically geared toward small- to medium-sized commercial building operations. It introduces basic building energy terminology associated with building energy use to prime targeted participants to get the most out of the building re-tuning training.
