The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, recently released a new Request For Information (RFI) focused on enabling energy efficiency and decarbonization in commercial buildings.
GSA wants to test innovative technologies through GSA’s Center for Emerging Building Technologies. As part of GSA’s Center for Emerging Building Technologies, new clean energy and decarbonization technologies will be tested in federal buildings.
The Center consists of three interconnected programs: the Green Proving Ground, the Applied Innovation Learning Lab, and Pilot to Portfolio. By testing new building technologies in federal buildings, these programs will help GSA make smarter investments and enable and encourage wider market adoption of clean energy innovations, according to a GSA news release.
The new RFI seeks to identify emerging and sustainable technologies in the following categories:
- Deep Energy Retrofits
- All-Electric Buildings and All-Electric Vehicle Fleets
- Healthy and Resilient Buildings
- Low-Embodied Carbon Building Materials
- Net-Zero Operations
- Packages of Emerging and Sustainable Technology Solutions
Submissions must be technologies and solutions that are technically and commercially ready for evaluation in occupied, operational buildings. The government will pilot selected technologies.
