New FEDS Software Helps You Design for Maximum Energy Efficiency, Minimum Cost
This article was written for the Partner Update a newsletter put out by Potomac Communications for DOE's Rebuild America program. The article describes the FEDS (Federal Energy Decision System) software, the official analytical tool of the Rebuild America program. This software, developed by PNNL with support from DOE, FEMP and Rebuild, helps government entities and contractors make informed decisions about which energy efficiency improvements are the most cost effective for their facilities. FEDS churns thru literally thousands of calculations accounting for energy uses, costs, and interactions from different types of HVAC systems, lighting types, insulation levels, building types, occupancy levels and times. FEDS crunchs the numbers so decision makers can get fast reliable answers on which alternatives are the best for their particular building. In this article, we're touting the improvements in the latest upgrade of FEDS, which is available free to Rebuild America partners. We tell partners what FEDS does, how to order it, and even where to get tech support and training.
