Sacramento Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) Home Study

Published by Sacramento Municipal Utility District | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: March 23, 2026 at 09:38 PM | Dataset Last Updated: November 01, 2023 at 04:41 PM
This project was part of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) Project which included several other homes in addition to the the subject of this study. Some of the reports and presentations included in this dataset cover the whole DER project. The retrofit home was one of several homes in the DER project. The goal of this monitoring plan is to develop a protocol for monitoring the SMUD DER project and answer the following major questions: 1. Is heat pump water heater performing as expected? 2. Is the whole house energy as expected? 3. Based on monitored results, how can performance be improved in future retrofit projects?

    "description": "SMUD partnered with the Sacramento Housing and
Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) to dramatically
improve the energy efficiency of foreclosed and
abandoned homes in neighborhoods especially
hard hit by the current recession. Under SHRA’s
Vacant Property Program (VPP), qualified singlefamily
developers/builders renovate repossessed,
abandoned homes in low income neighborhoods
and sell them to low to middle income families.
Under the Energy Efficient Remodel Research and
Development program, SMUD worked with VPP
developer/builders to improve the energy efficiency
of their projects.
In particular, SMUD and the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL) want to test whether a
simple package of energy efficiency upgrades can
achieve a 50% annual energy savings in homes
built before 1978 when the current California
Title-24 building energy code was enacted"
