Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) – 2024
Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) – 2024 The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is issuing, on behalf of the Building Technologies Office (BTO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled “Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers
& Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) – 2024”.
The 2024 BENEFIT FOA will invest up to $30M (subject to appropriations) across four topic areas:
Topic 1:
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and Water Heating Technologies with improved materials, components, equipment design, and engineering, lower cost manufacturing processes, and easier installation.
Topic 2:
Innovative, Replicable, and Low-Cost Roof and Attic Retrofits Technologies for affordable and scalable roof and attic retrofits that improve energy efficiency and address air and water infiltration.
Topic 3:
Building Resilience and Capacity Constraints Novel approaches to maintain essential loads during blackouts and add power capacity to buildings without the need for major infrastructure upgrades; localized thermal management systems and thermally resilient building envelopes to provide cooling and overheating protection against extreme heat events.
Topic 4:
Commercial Lighting Retrofit Advancements Low-cost, high-quality retrofit solutions for lagging sectors in energy-efficient lighting adoption (schools, certain commercial buildings).
DOE is compiling a Teaming Partner List to facilitate the formation of project teams for this FOA.
The Teaming Partner List allows organizations that may wish to participate on a project to express their interest to other applicants and explore potential partnerships.
Please see the Teaming List section of the FOA document for more information.
