Aug. 6, 2014: DOE Supplies $6 Million in Funding to Support Commercial Building Efficiency
Technologies Include HVAC Optimization, Advanced Ventilation, More Efficient Refrigeration Fan Motors
WASHINGTON — The U.S Department of Energy (DOE) has announced up to $6 million in funding to deploy and demonstrate four emerging energy-saving technologies — focused on HVAC, refrigeration, and lighting — in commercial buildings across the country. These technologies are expected to help businesses cut energy costs through improved efficiency, while also reducing carbon emissions.
The funded projects will generate data, case studies, and information intended to help commercial building owners adopt new energy efficiency technologies, including building energy use optimization software, advanced ventilation, more efficient commercial refrigeration fan motors, and advanced lighting controls. The selected projects include:
