Selected last year as the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy-Efficient Building Systems Design Hub, the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC), is led by Penn State and tasked with improving energy efficiency and operability, and reducing the carbon emissions of our nation's buildings, as well as stimulating private investment and job creation. This briefing will cover the new and existing technologies that will be utilized and tested at the Hub along with program goals to transform commercial building retrofits and new construction processes across the United States and to demonstrate building operational energy savings of 50% within the next three years.
