Report, webinar and resources >Emerging Building Technologies' two programs - GSA Proving Ground (GPG) and Pilot to Portfolio (P2P) enable GSA to make sound investment decisions in next-generation building technologies based on their real-world performance.
GSA's Proving Ground (GPG)
Test-bed measurement and verification - published reports, infographics and summary documents in the following categories:
Pilot to Portfolio (P2P)
Deployment support - resources for GPG-proven technologies:
GPG-Proven Technologies with Deployment Potential for GSA
Webinar, November 15, 12 pm ET
Please join us for a GPG Outbrief webinar on Advanced Lighting Controls (ALC) with LED. Researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory evaluated five different LED systems with ALC at a test-bed site in Fort Worth, Texas, and provided analysis of the added savings and costs of the controls as well as guidance on where ALC with LED can be best deployed. During the webinar, researchers and facility managers will discuss findings from the evaluation, share operational guidance and answer questions. Attendees are eligible to receive continuing education credit from the American Institute of Architects.
