Title: BEopt-CA (Ex): A Tool for Optimal Integration of EE, DR and PV in Existing California Homes

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1130640· OSTI ID:1130640

Opportunities for combining energy efficiency, demand response, and energy storage with PV are often missed, because the required knowledge and expertise for these different technologies exist in separate organizations or individuals. Furthermore, there is a lack of quantitative tools to optimize energy efficiency, demand response and energy storage with PV, especially for existing buildings. As technology costs evolve (e.g., the ongoing reduction in the cost of PV), design strategies need to be adjusted accordingly based on quantitative analysis.
