Integration of thermally anisotropic building envelopes with TES and advanced controls to tailor HVAC loads CRADA Final Report - NFE-21-08869

Summary

Buildings' HVAC systems consume significant energy, driving up costs and peak electricity demand. This project, led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in collaboration with the Metal Construction Association, developed and evaluated thermally anisotropic building envelope (TABE) panels integrated with thermal energy storage and advanced controls. The system redirects thermal energy to reduce HVAC loads and shift demand, with field evaluations demonstrating a potential for heating/cooling load reduction of up to 50%.
