US DOE takes major steps toward reducing the carbon footprint of buildings, which use 40% of the nation’s energy; invests $30 million in new workforce training initiatives. 

DOE’s Building Technologies Office and the Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs Office’s State Energy Program will fund and administer these seven competitively selected projects.

In alignment with the U.S. Department of Energy Cybersecurity Strategy and DOE's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) efforts, EERE will accelerate cybersecurity R&D to strengthen EERE technologies and systems that are critical to renewable energy, manufacturing, buildings, and transportation — all of which are increasingly interconnected and vulnerable to cyber-attack.

The technology relies on a chemical reaction: The membrane is a polymer matrix with a chemical quality that can react to, capture, and release CO2.

This funding opportunity will provide up to $80 million for projects that enhance energy demand flexibility across buildings and the electric power grid.

The EMPOWER wall, designed for a building’s interior, also functions as a cooling system to optimize energy use and lower overall cost.
