Impact Discuss the impact your project will have assuming the outcome of the proposed work is a success. Realizing that this project may provide only incremental progress toward an ultimate goal, describe the economic and building energy efficiency benefits that may result from successful outcome of the immediate work as well as from achieving the ultimate goal. Provide quantitative projections where possible. Metrics of interest:
Potential energy savings
Novel non-energy benefits (e.g. ease of installation, improved comfort, resiliency, etc) Cost savings of materials or equipment, as well as installed cost Increased performance
New products or markets
Reduced GHG emission
