Welcome to the Pacific Energy Center
The Pacific Energy Center (address and directions) offers educational programs, design tools, advice, and support to create energy efficient buildings and comfortable indoor environments. Most of our efforts are focused around commercial buildings, however, other departments offer advice and information for residential buildings.
Our services include assistance in:
- Daylighting and shading analysis of physical building models to optimize envelope design
- Advice on site orientation, glazing, shading, daylighting, and electric lighting systems
- Electric lighting system demonstrations and discussion of the pros and cons of different approaches to electric lighting in particular buildings and building types
- Identifying applicable incentive programs for energy-related measures, including the Savings By Design program
- Performance measurement tools for existing building systems evaluation and efficiency enhancements supported by protocols for tool use.
For large projects that offer opportunities for significant energy reductions over normal practice, other services may be available. These include:
- Optimization studies of HVAC and/or lighting systems
- Computer modeling of whole building performance or the performance of specific systems such as HVAC or lighting
- Trainings for building operators
We invite you to attend the educational programs offered each year. We also encourage you to use our energy information resource library to help you find information on energy topics through its world-wide connections.
Please use the skills of the Energy Center staff, and our resources, to create a higher quality, energy-efficient built environment.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Marcial
PEC Director
