Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings Initiative

Key Characteristics of GEBs

“Communities” Could Take Many d buildingportfolioMixed-usedevelopmentUtility territoryDowntowncommercial districtUniversity orcorporate campusNew constructionand existing buildingretrofits

DOE Intends to Invest 42 Million into “ConnectedCommunities”Funding opportunity would enable regionalGEB communities to share research resultsand lessons learned on projects that increasegrid reliability, resilience, security and energyintegration well into the future.Photo Courtesy of Patrick Schreiber via UnsplashDemonstrate and evaluate the capacityof buildings as grid assets by flexingload in both new developments andexisting communities across diverseclimates, geography, building types andgrid/regulatory structuresConnected Community:A group of grid-interactive efficient buildings(GEBs) with diverse, flexible end use equipmentthat collectively work to maximize building andgrid efficiency without compromising occupantneeds and comfortShare research results and lessonslearned on projects that improve energyaffordability, increase grid reliability,resilience, security and energyintegration

What We’re Looking For When the FOA is Released Teams of strategic stakeholders Sets of multiple buildings Multiple DER integration Ability and willingness to share data Diversity of projects (geography, buildingtype, vintage, regulatory)What We Hope to Achieve Measured impact of building as grid assetsSolutions that address diverse grid needs that can be scaled in size and in other communitiesInput from occupants on impact and comfort levelDemonstrated new business models for demand flexibility and DER coordination andoptimization Online solutions center on best practicesRequest for Information on Connected CommunitiesWe Look Forward to Your FeedbackVisit eere-exchange.energy.gov or Scan the QR Code for the Request for Information:“DE-FOA-0002291: Request for Information: Funding Opportunity Announcement 2206: “ConnectedCommunities”
