Getting Started with the Intelligent Campus

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) leverages its buildings and onsite distributed energy resources (DEl as research instruments within its Intelligent Campus program. Real, quantitative energy measurements from NREL's campus are used to study renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage.

This Intelligent Campus dashboard provides real-time energy data from then South Table Mountain Campus and individual buildings.

ZERO ENERGY VIEW

Some of NREL's buildings, such as the Research Support Facility (RSF), have Zero Energy dashboards. These provide real-time tracking of the building's performance with respect to zero energy goals, help identify anomalies that might indicate performance problems, and tell the story of how the building achieves zero energy operation.
