Description
This project was part of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) Project which included several other homes in addition to the the subject of this study. Some of the reports and presentations included in this dataset cover the whole DER project. The retrofit home was one of several homes in the DER project.
The goal of this monitoring plan is to develop a protocol for monitoring the SMUD DER project and answer the following major questions:
1. Is heat pump water heater performing as expected?
2. Is the whole house energy as expected?
3. Based on monitored results, how can performance be improved in future retrofit projects?

| Case Study SMUD Energy Efficient Remodel Demonstration Program | SMUD partnered with the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) to dramatically improve the energy efficiency of foreclosed and abandoned homes in neighborhoods especially hard hit by the current recession. Under SHRA’s Vacant Property Program (VPP), qualified singlefamily developers/builders renovate repossessed, abandoned homes in low income neighborhoods and sell them to low to middle income families. Under the Energy Efficient Remodel Research and Development program, SMUD worked with VPP developer/builders to improve the energy efficiency of their projects. In particular, SMUD and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) want to test whether a simple package of energy efficiency upgrades can achieve a 50% annual energy savings in homes built before 1978 when the current California Title-24 building energy code was enacted | Open resource |
