The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is working with partners on new collaborative initiatives to support the development of high-performance HVAC systems that operate efficiently and maintain optimal performance over time, delivering comfort, energy savings, and utility cost savings to U.S. homeowners.

ACCA’s ANSI-approved quality standards have been adopted by utilities, government agencies, manufacturers, and others nationwide. ACCA makes these standards available as a service to the industry and our broader community.

The Southface Energy Institute team will research and validate the impact of novel HVAC installation verification and monitoring tools in climate zones 2 through 7. Through nationwide deployment in real-world applications utilizing HVAC contractor networks, the team will determine the individual and combined energy and HVAC performance impacts of commissioning using the measureQuick platform and continuous monitoring using the Sensi Predict system. Additionally, the team will document and analyze nonenergy impacts of these tools.
