Building Technologies Office Awards Three Small Business Innovation Research Funding for Advanced Green Buildings


On Sept. 3, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced 123 awards totaling $142 million in research and development grants for small businesses in 34 states whose projects will address multiple mission areas across the Department. This year, the Building Technologies Office (BTO) is investing $3.5 million of that funding into three projects. This year’s Phase 2 Release 2 Small Business Innovation Research funding will pursue innovations in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and energy rating decision tools.

American small businesses play a critical role in these DOE Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards, which transform DOE-supported science and technology breakthroughs into viable products and services, creating a bridge between the laboratory and the marketplace. The awards also support development of specialized technologies and instruments that aid in scientific discovery.
