The Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE-EERE) invites public comment on its Request for Information (RFI) on research and development opportunities for innovations in sensors and controls for building energy management. Through this RFI, the COE-EERE seeks input on research and development opportunities for the integration and optimization of systems at the whole-building level through connected and controllable loads for increased energy affordability, improved occupant comfort, and enhanced provision of grid services that will strengthen the integration between buildings, other distributed energy resources, and the electric grid. This RFI will inform BTO’s strategic planning moving forward in identifying early-stage and innovative technology solutions to meet these goals. Successful solutions will strengthen the affordability, reliability, and resiliency of the energy consumed by the buildings sector, contributing to DOE’s priorities for the energy sector as a whole.
The Notice of Request for Information (RFI) is linked below:
Responses are due June 3rd.
We will place this item on the agenda of our monthly Energy Standards teleconference. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
