Integrated Systems Packages
Integrated Systems Packages
Scaling adoption of integrated systems in the real estate life-cycle
The Packages
The ISPs are designed for three real estate events: tenant fit-out, rooftop unit replacement and whole building renovation. Each ISP includes a set of efficiency measures that are commercially proven and amenable to standardization.
Tenant Fit-out ISP Toolkit
The tenant fit-out package includes LED lighting and daylight dimming controls, HVAC controls based on ASHRAE Guideline 36, and energy monitoring. Optionally and where appropriate, the package also includes ceiling fans, automated interior shades, and plug-load controls.
RESOURCES:
- Overview Guide: This Overview Guide describes the ISP, including energy savings and other benefits.
- Applicability Checklist: Use the Applicability Checklist to determine if this ISP is a good fit for your project.
- Specifications: Use the Specifications template when developing your specifications for parts, execution and sequences of operation. You may also generate custom specifications using this Specifications Generator. (*MS Word with macro, Windows only)
- Test Procedures: Use the Test Procedures during project commissioning to ensure that the components are functioning as intended. (*Separate files for each procedure)
- O&M Manual Template: Use the O&M Manual Template to develop maintenance procedures. Use the Troubleshooting Guides to solve common operational problems.

Demand Flexibility Packages
As alternative energy generation becomes a more substantial portion of the electric grid’s fuel mix across the country, when energy is used is becoming nearly as important as how much energy is used. Demand flexibility enables buildings to play an active role in the grid’s emission reductions, and provides building owners financial value from existing utility programs while enabling future automated control of building systems for grid interactivity.
This Action Guide presents packages of technology retrofits for demand flexibility, organized to align with typical building lifecycle milestones for easy integration with existing capital planning frameworks.

Retrofit packages are presented for offices and K-12 schools.
