With these settings we reached the goal of 54 EUI
Building Envelope + Power & Lighting)
Plug Load Efficiency: 0.6 W/sf
Lighting Efficiency: 0.3 W/sf
Daylighting & Occupancy Controls: both on
The most we were able to reduce it by was 7.2
Adding Photovoltaics)
Coverage: 90%
Panel Efficiency: 20.%
Payback Limit: 30 years
By starting off with the baseline values, and an EUI of 54 for the building envelope, we were able to reach an EUI of 6.93. This was possible by setting the power, lighting, and photovoltaics to the settings with the most energy savings. This might lead to high initial costs but could pay off over time. The photovoltaics has the biggest impact and reduced the EUI by almost 40 EUI.
