software_title: "Retro-Commissioning Sensor Suitcase"
doi: "https://doi.org/10.11578/dc.20180717.41"
description: "This software package is the Graphic User Interface (GUI) software component\
  \ for the Sensor Suitcase Retro-Commissioning project, which is a sensor and analysis\
  \ system to support monitoring-based retro-commissioning of small commercial buildings,\
  \ performed by non-experts. \n\nSmall commercial buildings typically do not have\
  \ the budgets or business economics to allow investing in energy efficiency enhancements\
  \ the building retro-commissioning provides. In addition, they do not have in-house\
  \ staff with expertise in building systems who can perform building retro-commissioning\
  \ or identify energy efficiency improvement opportunities. \n\nThe solution to this\
  \ problem is to develop a turn-key hardware/software solution (the RCx Sensor Suitcase)\
  \ that can be used by non-experts to automatically generate low and no-cost energy\
  \ efficiency rec commendations that will improve building operating costs, occupant\
  \ comfort and building energy performance. \n\nThis is a joint project between Lawrence\
  \ Berkeley National Laboratory, leading the development of the software and analysis\
  \ elements, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), leading the development\
  \ of the hardware and sensor elements with an associated table-based configuration\
  \ support tool. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. \n\nThis\
  \ software package was developed as a proof-of-concept prototype for the sensor\
  \ suitcase software component. The software component was developed with a Microsoft\
  \ Excel spreadsheet which reads the sensor data and calls a MATLAB DLL to analyze\
  \ the sensor data."
