Abstract

Planning field demonstrations of energy management technologies in existing multi-family housing requires site information to be translated into technology-specific requirements and follow-up actions. This study developed a spreadsheet-based decision support tool using 66 survey items, technology documents, and records from two candidate sites. The survey items were organized into six categories: infrastructure, data, control, metering, installation, and operation. Agreement among three coders was moderate, with Fleiss’ κ of 0.568. The tool records the review scope, required conditions, supporting evidence, condition status, remedy feasibility, and follow-up actions. Explicit rules distinguish conditions met, conditions met after remediation, further verification required, and not feasible under the stated plan. Retrospective application comprised ten bounded review cases with 24 specified conditions. The analysis identified six met conditions, six unmet conditions, and twelve unresolved conditions. Two cases established existing parking-light dimming as the baseline operating mode within their narrowly defined review scope. Eight cases required further verification of data access, dwelling-type compatibility, metering, control connections, or facility operation. These results did not establish complete deployment readiness for any technology. The tool makes the reasons for incomplete decisions visible and links them to concrete actions for selecting demonstration units, supplementing data collection, defining baseline operation, and scheduling evaluation. Its contribution is an explicit procedure for converting survey records into scoped review outcomes and action lists. Independent evaluation using additional sites and actual implementation results is needed to assess decision validity and practical effectiveness.
