This department is offering a grant to develop ‘turn key’ BAS solutions for small to medium sized buildings to improve energy efficiency. With over 40% of energy consumption in the U.S. attributed to buildings, this grant aims to address wastage due to lack of building controls. Small and medium buildings, comprising over 90% of U.S. buildings, often lack BAS for efficient system monitoring. Interested applicants can find the full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on the EERE eXCHANGE website and must submit applications through the same platform by Jun 24, 2013. Details for submitting inquiries are available in the FOA.

| Description:: | Buildings consume over 40% of the total energy consumption in the U.S. A significant portion of the energy consumed in buildings is wasted because of the lack of building controls or the inability to use existing Building Automation Systems (BAS) properly. Over 90% of the buildings in the U.S. are either small-sized (<5,000 square feet, or sf) or medium-sized (between 5,000 sf and 50,000 sf); these buildings typically do not use BAS to monitor and control their building systems from a central location. This FOA seeks to develop a ?turn key? BAS solution specifically tailored to small and medium buildings to advance opportunities for energy efficiency in this sector. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website at http://eere.energy.gov/financing/exchangeExchange/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system.
