April 17, 2006—Green Building Studio, Inc. has been selected to participate in a collaboration agreement with the United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), a division of United Technologies Corporation, to jointly develop advanced simulation software for commercial building energy analysis.
The collaboration is part of an ongoing $11.1 million cost-sharing award from the National Institute of Standards and Technology Advanced Technology Program awarded to UTRC and Oculus Technologies.
The project objective is to develop simulation-based design methodologies that improve integration and operation of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and combined heat and power systems in commercial buildings, targeting energy efficiency gains of 30-40%. Green Building Studio’s contributions will include a web-accessible energy simulator that will allow architects and engineers to evaluate design alternatives and optimize system performance in the early stages of building design.
UTC is a diversified company that provides high technology products and services to the aerospace and building industries worldwide. Learn more at the company’s Web site. For more information about Green Building Studio’s role in the project, visit the Web site.
