Funding Research for Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings in Connected Communities Considered
April 8, 2020
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced solicitation of public input on a potential funding opportunity to demonstrate and evaluate the capacity of energy efficient buildings to interact with one another and the grid to provide greater degrees of demand flexibility at scale. These “connected communities” include grid-interactive, efficient buildings with diverse, flexible, end-use equipment that collectively work to maximize building and grid efficiency without compromising occupant needs and comfort. The DOE’s request for information allows a wide range of stakeholders to work with DOE on issues related to connected communities and help design and shape the goals of a potential “Connected Communities” funding opportunity.
Between 4-6 projects will be awarded — up to $7 million each — in the form of cooperative agreements, for a total of up to $42 million. Responses to the request for information must be submitted electronically to CCPilotsRFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 5 pm EDT, May 12, 2020. A webinar will be offered to provide more information: April 15, 2020, from 3-5pm EDT, register here.
