According to PNNL research, U.S. commercial building owners could save 38 percent of their heating and cooling bills if they installed a handful of energy efficiency controls that make their heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems more efficient. The savings were based on modeling and simulation of building energy usage. The controls that provide these savings are not widely available commercially, but it is hoped that the research will encourage expanded production.
