The DOE's Building Technologies Office this morning put out a call to the AEC industry for expert reviewers for its new energy-efficiency initiative for small commercial buildings, which make up more than 90% of the commercial building stock.
The program is offering up to $12 million dollars to support new integrated solutions for delivering energy efficiency in small commercial buildings measuring 50,000 sq. ft. or smaller.
Each reviewer will be responsibilities for evaluating up to 10 proposals of ~40 pages each.
