Buildings account for over 40% of total U.S. energy consumption, with substantial waste often stemming from inadequate or misused Building Automation Systems (BAS). Critically, over 90% of U.S. buildings are small-sized (<5,000 sq ft) or medium-sized (5,000-50,000 sq ft), a sector that typically lacks comprehensive BAS for centralized monitoring and control. This grant opportunity is specifically designed to address this gap by funding the development of "turn key" open-source BAS solutions. These tailored solutions aim to empower small and medium buildings with efficient energy management capabilities, significantly advancing energy efficiency across this underserved and high-consumption sector. The initiative seeks to transform how energy is managed in the vast majority of commercial and residential structures.

| 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.
