The Smart Tools for Efficient HVAC Performance (STEP) Campaign is a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to promote the use of tools that allow HVAC contractors to quickly and easily commission new HVAC systems and identify faults in existing systems. 

The Smart Tools for Efficient HVAC Performance (STEP) Campaign will serve as a national platform for sharing information and recognizing successes with key stakeholders, including HVAC contractors and installers, energy-efficiency programs, equipment developers, trainers, and others.
