MoreThe Department of Energy’s (DOE) Building Technologies Program is requesting submissions from groups seeking to be formally recognized as members of the High-Performance Green Building Partnership Consortia. The DOE will formally recognize those groups from the public and private sectors that meet specific qualifications and that promote high-performance green buildings and net-zero energy commercial buildings.
The Partnership Consortia are part of the DOE’s Net-Zero Energy Commercial Building Initiative (CBI), the Building Technologies Program’s umbrella initiative that aims to achieve marketable net-zero energy commercial buildings by 2025 to meet requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The DOE will post the name, contact information and membership of each formally recognized Partnership Consortia member on its website, and use information provided by each consortia to develop a report to Congress on the status of CBI.
In accordance with section 421 of EISA, the DOE is seeking groups that include representation in the following areas:
The CBI is designed to overcome the technical challenges, market barriers and institutional constraints inhibiting rapid and broad adoption of technologies, tools, processes, and practices required to achieve net-zero energy performance levels in commercial buildings. To the extent resources are made available, the DOE’s CBI will engage in cost-shared research, development and demonstration activities, engaging and leveraging the capabilities in the private sector through national energy alliances, national accounts with significant building portfolios, and partnerships with standards and code setting bodies, as well as with state and local governments.
