CURRENT CABA RESEARCH PROJECTS

Zero Net Energy Building Controls: Characteristics,
Energy Impacts and Lessons
The Continental Automated Buildings Association has completed a Boutique Research
project called Zero Net Energy Buildings: Characteristics, Energy Impacts and
Lessons.
This $130,000+ research project will examine strategies and technologies applied in large commercial and multi-unit buildings, to
identify Zero Net Energy (ZNE) best practices that can become the references for developers, manufacturers, property managers,
and property owners. Building automation systems and energy information systems will be characterized and building occupants
and owners will be surveyed on the functionality and utilization of these systems. The results of this research will be used to value
the system in relation to a ZNE outcome. The goal of this research is to identify the selection criteria, methodology, technology
attributes, user preferences and role of the building automation and energy monitoring and information systems in ZNE buildings.
