This mission-critical research, technical an*lysis, tools and guidance helps those seeking to drive better energy performance outcomes in Summary Tools & Guides Research Case Studies Events News Blog All of NBI’s work is built of a foundation of proven building science. Under its Building and Program Innovation efforts, NBI conducts building science research, technology as*essments, develops building standards and tools, and provides training and education as well as direct services and consulting on the technical an*lyses, tools and guidance that demonstrate feasibility of advanced efficiency measures and practices. The resources developed under this program provide critical support for building owners, practitioners, utilities and jurisdictions that want to create or enhance programs that favor ultra-efficiency in commercial buildings. high performance in new construction projects with up to 30% better efficiency than traditional construction practices. We also have optimize their process for designing ultra low-energy projects. Our building portfolio diagnostic tool, called FirstView, has been used by cities and other portfolio owners across the country to as*ess and identify underperforming buildings as well as renovation projects that The NBI team of architects, engineers, and researchers work to advance approaches by both the energy and building industries to raising levels of efficiency in buildings. NBI’s study on the measured energy performance of LEED buildings was a catalyst for the need to focus on outcome-based performance of buildings rather than relying solely on predictive models. Other research examines the effectiveness and benefits of advanced design practices such as daylighting as well as technology applications including controls, lighting and HVAC Our training and education program provides practitioners with webinars and resources, often at no cost, to help them better understand the opportunities for improving energy performance in their design and operations.
