Small Commercial Toolkit

The 2030 District Small Commercial Toolkit is a national 2030 District Program that includes a set of program and technical products aimed at small commercial buildings (Buildings < 50,000 s.f.) It provides user configurable retrofit analysis using real-time EnergyPlus simulations.

Required inputs: Basic information, Energy price, CO2 emission factors, and Investment criteria in Common Inputs tab, and Actual building characteristics, Time of use energy rate, and User defined retrofit measures in Detailed Retrofit Analysis tab.

Target audience: Facility managers, engineers, and building owners with experience

CBES won the 2019 R&D100 award. This award recognizes the team for enabling equitable access to deep energy retrofit and zero-net energy strategies for small- and medium-sized commercial buildings.
