DOE Announces $38.8M for R&D to Decarbonize Building Technologies

The U.S. Department of Energy announced selections for $38.8 million in funding for 25 projects across 17 states to research and develop high-impact building technologies and practices aimed at decarbonizing, reducing peak demand on the electric grid, enhancing resilience and lowering energy costs.

Advancements made with this funding from the Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies opportunity support applied research, development and demonstration activities for high-priority building technologies, including next-generation retrofits for building envelope, lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

The funding will also support technologies that enhance the resilience of buildings during extreme weather events and allow them to function as assets to the electrical grid. Learn more here.
