University of Dayton Building Energy Center (UD-BEC)

Welcome!

The UD-BEC was founded in 2006 with the goals of:

• Improving building performance and energy efficiency
• Educating energy efficiency engineers
• Advancing the science of building energy performance

The UD-BEC provides:

• Low-cost residential energy audits
• Low-cost commercial building energy audits
• Net zero energy building design assistance
• Renewable energy system design assistance
• Energy and CO2 emission tracking and benchmarking
• Phase change material and thermal mass analysis
• Free energy analysis software
  
  

The center makes a special effort to work with low-income and other groups who can especially benefit from state-of-the-art energy efficiency information. A principle focus of the UD-BEC is to extend building energy science though the careful analysis of energy data. The energy assessment capabilities of the UD-BEC build on the expertise of the award-winning University of Dayton Industrial Assessment Center, which has performed over 750 industrial energy assessments during the last 25 years.
