Background

• International interest (funding) for integrated building technologies to

enabled sustainable environments is on the rise for the past few

years.

– DOE- Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Office — 2X Budget to

$2B from 2009.

– US Science National Foundation with the Agency Broad Science, Engineering,

and Education for Sustainability (SEES) initiative. - $1B/yr investment in 2012-

2014 across the agency, or 15% of the agency budget, in sustainability topics

including nexus with long-term climate trends and resilient buildings and cities.

– EU via 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological

Development (FP7) earmarked over $20 billion for funding for Environmental

Management and for energy-efficient buildings and spaces of public use in

particular.

• Stakeholders; NYC 2025; CEC; EU Megapolis; others.

• Private sector interest; IT - Software, Controls, spin-offs.

• Private sector renewables; Solar PV; Solar Thermal;

• Private sector energy management.

US End-Use Energy Use (US DOE, 2001)

Breakdown of energy use in commercial buildings

Buildings represent close to $1T/yr industry in the construction sector, and more than $300B/yr in energy costs.
