TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Energy Efficiency Strategies <br /> <br /> <br /> 75 <br /> Connect light bulbs (e.g. Philips Hue) <br /> In-home energy storage/fuel cells and car-to-car charging (e.g. Honda’s Home Energy <br />Management System21) <br /> In-home zoned temperature controls (e.g. Honeywell) <br />4.4.3.2. Net Zero Energy Commercial Building Envelopes | Guardian Industries Detroit, MI <br />Guardian Industries, a glass and building products manufacturer demonstrated a PV spandrel panel <br />system on its new Science and Technology Center in suburban Detroit. The 12,000 square foot building <br />showcases a cutting edge building panel system that brings solar power generation capability to the <br />vertical surfaces of one or two story commercial buildings. The panels convert sunlight in to electricity <br />at an efficiency of 17% allowing each square foot of panel to produce eight watts of power. Builder <br />Turner Construction also incorporated Guardian’s own transparent PV glass to demonstrate ease of <br />integration into the panel system. Eligible for federal modified accelerated cost-recovery System <br />depreciation and a first year federal tax credit of 30% (available through 2017), the 2014 built project <br />expects to achieve 100% payback in two years. <br /> <br />Figure 14: Building integrated PV panel systems <br /> <br /> <br />21 http://www.hondasmarthome.com/
