Acknowledgments
This report would not have been possible without the support of my insightful and patient
sponsors at the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research
Program (PIER): Martha Brook and Norman Bourassa (Buildings) and Paul Roggensack
and Pramod Kulkarni (Industry).
This work expands significantly on a report originally published in 2004 with co-authors
Hannah Friedman, Tehesia Powell, Norman Bourassa, David Claridge, Tudi Haasl, and
Mary Ann Piette, who helped to build the original analysis framework and case-study
database.
Paul Mathew collaborated on a parallel research effort to evaluate monitoring-based
commissioning (MBCx) projects throughout the University of California and California
State University systems, and those projects are included in the database presented here.
Karl Brown (California Institute for Energy and Environment) made that research
possible by facilitating communication with the UC/CSU/IOU Monitoring-Based
Commissioning (MBCx) program.
A number of individuals exerted considerable effort on gathering and tabulating data used
in this study or augmenting previously published information. They include John Bynum
(TAMU), Michael Anderson and Anna Levitt (Newcomb Anderson McCormick),
Narendra Amarnani (County of Los Angeles), Eliot Crowe and Emilia Sibley (PECI),
Geoffrey Bell and Steve "Futzmeister" Greenberg (LBNL), Jim Bradford (Nexant), Len
Beyea (RetroCom Energy Strategies), Kimberlie Lenihan and Natasha Malik
(NYSERDA), David McIntosh (Connecticut Power & Light), Margot Rode
(Architectural Energy Corporation), and David Sellers (Facility Dynamics).
The following individuals provided data for the 2004 study (which remains part of our
analysis): Edward Allen and David Jump (Quantum Consulting), Adam Benzuly
(Affiliated Engineers, Inc.), Daren Goody (PECI), Martha Hewett (Minnesota Center for
Energy and Environment), John Jennings (Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance), Bing
Tso (SBW Consulting), Jeffrey Warner (LBNL), and Phoebe Caner Warren (Seattle City
Light).
