The Building Technologies Program at the U.S. Department of Energy aims to…

– Develop and promote efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly technologies, systems, and practices for our nation’s residential and commercial buildings

– Foster economic prosperity, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increase national energy security

– Simultaneously provide the energy-related services and performance expected from our buildings

BTP Supports Energy Efficiency from Inception to Deployment

• Our vision is to improve the efficiency of existing and new buildings through the development of energy efficiency technologies, strategies, and practices

• Our primary goal is to develop technologies, techniques, and tools for making residential and commercial buildings more energy efficient, productive, and affordable

• Immediate and future strategies must focus on integrated approaches in order to accomplish our goal

BTP Vision, Goals, and Strategy will Direct Program Efforts & Help Lead to Success

• Six Federal agencies are working together to leverage funding and resources to promote regional growth (DOE, DOC/NIST, SBA, DOL, DOEd, and NSF)

• Holistic, systems approach to science and technology and will act as an integrator of basic and applied R&D

• Develop and demonstrate sustainable and efficient models for attaining national strategic objectives

• Co-located, multidisciplinary team of researchers to speed R&D and shorten path to technological development and commercial deployment

Research Planning » The HUBOn February 12, 2010, the Obama Administration announced a

multi-agency funding opportunity to support an Energy Regional

Innovation Cluster (E-RIC).

"The Energy Innovation Hubs are a key part of our effort to harness the power of American ingenuity to achieve transformative energy breakthroughs. By bringing together some of our brightest minds, we can develop cutting-edge building energy efficiency technologies that will reduce energy bills, cut carbon pollution, and create jobs. This important investment will help Philadelphia become a leader in the global clean energy economy."

-Secretary Chu

– Transform the commercial building retrofit and new construction processes into a systems delivery industry and demonstrate building operational energy savings of 50% by 2013-2015 in a scalable, repeatable and cost effective manner across a broad range of building types in existing building stock, while preserving workplace quality.

– Provide continuous monitoring & data feedback for improvement of integrated design models and simulations

– Formulation of public policies that provide incentives to the building industry & owner/occupants to develop & operate highly energy efficient buildings

– Establish primary, secondary, community college and in-service work force education programs that create new, high-quality, sustainable US jobs in the building industry
