Energy Data & Reports

The following is a list of recent energy studies and reports from the Minnesota Department of Commerce. It includes legislative reports/studies, CARD project reports, meetings, and more.

You may filter the results below using the sort tools in the sidebar. You will need Acrobat Reader or a similar application to read any documents you download.

Two other document databases are available (at right) to help you find what you are looking for:

  • Use our Conservation Applied Research and Development search tool to find the most relevant R&D projects and final reports for your application(s).
  • Use our Commerce Actions and Regulatory Search tool to access public materials related to specific areas of your interest including additional energy data and reports, requests for proposals issued by the Division of Energy Resources, and a variety of other public regulatory or informational documents.

Local Energy Efficiency Program (LEEP) reports are contained in a separate list.


Energy Efficiency Potential of Nanofluids

Results from CARD-study which addressed the question of whether nanofluids have the potential to increase the efficiency of heating and cooling systems. The research investigated the impacts of a commercially available nanofluid called HYDROMX on HVAC system energy usage, maintenance, and thermal comfort in six case studies. It also assessed the simple payback period of installing the nanofluid and any other non-energy impacts on the operation and maintenance of the HVAC systems.
