LBNL Deep Energy Retrofit Monitoring
10 residential retrofits aiming at 70% or more
energy savings.
Goal: To show how energy is actually being
used in these northern California deep energy
retrofit homes.
End-use energy monitoring
1 year minimum monitoring period
![Page 3: Deep Energy Retrofits: California Case studies · SolarWaterHeater; Pumps Appliance: Fridge, Dishwasher, Oven Lights: Phone and Aquarium Lights: Outside, Jungle Rm, Baths Appliance:](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042409/5f24ec27aa3d8372ab2ba320/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How do we talk about performance?
Energy per house vs. per square foot vs. per occupant
Site vs. Source energy
Separation of renewable energy
Nearly all case studies are significant remodels, not solely energy retrofits or home performance upgrades
Changes in square footage and physical layout
Issues with pre-retrofit vs. post-retrofit comparison
Ownership/Access to utility data
Comfort
Occupancy
Weather
Issues with end-use monitoring
Circuit panel layout and combined electrical loads
Monitoring equipment limitations
Complex combined HVAC/DHW/Solar systems
Load calculation by subtraction is problematic

P1 Project Description
1904 Craftsman Bungalow
Berkeley, CA
Pre: 960ft2 Post: 1,630ft2

The house was lifted, and the ground floor was rebuilt to legal height
The retrofit was guided by the European Passive House design principles
4 bedroom, 2 bath, 4 occupants, home office

First certified Passive House retrofit in the
country
Low heating energy despite challenging U-
shaped layout with high surface to volume

Turned two relatively undesirable homes into
one beautiful, highly energy efficient home.
Serves as a regional model for deep energy
retrofits

P4 Project Description
1940’s Bungalow
Petaluma, CAPre: 1,540ft2 Post: 2,510ft2
This retrofit was carried out in 3 phases:
1- In 1998 prior to moving in
2- In 2004 renewable energy
was added
3- In 2010 a structural/seismic
retrofit
A 4th phase is in planning, including a solar combisystemwith a back up biomass boiler for total carbon neutrality.
2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 occupants, home office

Staged approach to retrofit, learning from
experience and experimentation
Pre-retrofit utility data is not available, yet
major energy reductions were achieved from
phase one to phase three
Added home office
Special attention to improving IAQ and other
sustainable practices
Added 1/3 of floor area while significantly
reducing energy use

Final Thoughts
Deep savings are achievable using a variety of
current technologies
Simple approaches are better than complex
ones
Low energy user behavior is essential to
success
Once you reduce heating and hot water,
discretionary energy should be targeted for
reduction
