Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001385
The Department of Energy (DOE) is offering a grant opportunity, DE-FOA-0001385, aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in small and medium commercial buildings across the United States. The primary goal is to identify and scale solutions that address existing market barriers, such as high initial costs and inadequate information, that prevent the widespread adoption of energy-efficient technologies.
In 2014, commercial buildings consumed 18 Quadrillion Btu, with small buildings (under 50,000 square feet) accounting for over 40 percent of that energy. By implementing cost-effective improvements, these buildings can achieve significant energy savings while fostering job creation and economic growth.
The DOE's Building Technologies Office (BTO) aspires to enhance energy efficiency in both commercial and residential buildings, targeting a 20 percent reduction by 2020 and a 50 percent reduction by 2030. To support these objectives, the Commercial Building Integration (CBI) program is designed to encourage voluntary adoption of energy-efficient practices and is critical for bridging emerging technologies, codes, and standards.
To apply, interested parties must register on the EERE eXCHANGE website, where the full funding opportunity announcement is available. Resources and tools to help overcome barriers are also accessible on the CBI program's website. Questions regarding the announcement can be directed to the channels outlined in the full FOA on the EERE eXCHANGE site.Apply for DE FOA 0001385
