[BLDG-SIM] Reports on Six Low-Energy Test Buildings Now Available

[Drury.Crawley at EE.DOE.GOV]

Over the last few years, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
has been evaluating the operating energy performance of six low-energy
buildings for the U.S.Department of Energy.  These case studies compare the
measured energy consumption of each building with the design goals and
identify successes and lessons learned for each.   A summary of lessons
learned from the test buildings as well as the analysis and monitoring
research is under preparation. The six reports are available for download
from the web:
