OpportunityTitle: Net-Zero Energy Commercial Building Initiative Supporting Consortium
Description: YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION THROUGH FEDCONNECT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN AWARD. The following paragraphs are for informational purposes ONLY. ALL questions must be submitted through FedConnect. Application preparation instructions, additional programmatic background information, merit review criterion, etc. are included in the Body of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) which can be located in the upper right hand corner of the FedConnect Home Page for this specific FOA (DE-FOA-0000105). YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE BODY OF THE FOA TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN AWARD. The Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy&#191;s (EERE) Building Technologies Program (BTP), is seeking applications for the establishment of a Supporting Consortium (SC) comprising broad representation of the commercial building design, equipment, operation, finance, and other groups as detailed later. DOE estimates that approximately $1 million shall be available for one award under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The project is to be 20 percent cost shared between industry and the Federal Government and may be proposed with performance periods between 3 to 5 years. Awards with durations more than approximately 12 months shall include continuation decision points and may be partially funded in future fiscal years, dependent upon availability of funds. This FOA is intended to establish a Supporitng Consortium with the main focus of participation by vendors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for commercial building technologies and applications as noted in EISA Section 422. Additionally, the SC should have representation from other professions (e.g., design, operation, finance) common to the Partnership Consortia as identified in EISA Section 421. The overarching goal of the SC is to collect information on current and next generation technologies for individual components and systems to provide a knowledge base of information to industry in supporting DOE&#191;s goal of establishing net-zero energy performance for all U.S. commercial buildings by 2050. Next generation technology is defined in terms of both performance and cost as individual company business cases must be proven before a technology will be implemented.
