Description:
The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Research Participation Program is designed to provide opportunities for students, postgraduates, established scientists and faculty to participate in programs, projects, and activities that support the mission of the EERE. Participants will hold appointments at DOE-EERE Headquarters, EERE field offices, and other EERE-approved sites. Participants will receive hands-on experience that provides them with an understanding of the mission, operations, and culture of EERE.
The Commercial Buildings Integration (CBI) Program within DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Building Technologies Office (BTO) accelerates the voluntary uptake of efficient building technologies and develops solutions to overcome non-technical barriers to energy efficiency. This is accomplished by engaging in:
•applied research and demonstration of advanced technologies,
•development of tools and solutions to remove barriers to investment in efficiency,
•market partnerships to drive technologies and solutions into the commercial buildings marketplace.
