NYSERDA regularly offers assistance for innovative building
technologies in the following areas:
|
case studies
|
NYSERDA
helps New York State manufacturers to develop and commercialize
innovative, energy efficient, and environmentally-friendly
heating and cooling technologies for the home and business.
New products include a high-efficiency, pulse combustion,
gas-fired, commercial boiler; a 95% efficient, aluminum,
gas-fired residential boiler; fluorescent leak detection
technologies for air conditioning systems; and an electric
heat pump water heater. A yearly solicitation is available
to help develop new heating and cooling technologies for
buildings. |

NYSERDA
teams with New York lighting manufacturers to develop quality,
energy-efficient lighting products. An annual solicitation
supports development of new products, such as fixtures to
accommodate high efficiency light sources, fiber-based plasma
display panels, photovoltaic-powered exterior fixtures,
and ultraviolet germicidal systems. NYSERDA also partners
with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Lighting Research
Center (LRC), assisting manufacturers with programs such
as the National Lighting Product Information Program (NLPIP),
Design and Evaluation of Lighting Technologies and Applications
(DELTA), the Hybrid Skylight Program, and numerous training
seminars. |
|
This
program offers assistance for developing new building construction
products, such as advanced windows, panelized wall systems,
and industrialized construction methods. Other projects
include integrated systems to optimize building energy/
environmental impacts, such as building-integrated solar
technologies and advanced indoor air quality systems. A
regular solicitation is available to help fund the development
of these projects. |
|
case studies
|
This
program supports development and demonstration of innovative
control, sensor, and metering technologies for residential
and commercial building systems. Technologies seek to improve
power quality, reliability, and efficiency, as well as the
indoor environment, such as variable speed air conditioners,
wireless submeters, remote HVAC diagnostic equipment, advanced
indoor environmental quality monitors, web-enabled systems
for price sensitive load management, and power quality and
conditioning equipment. A solicitation for these projects
is typically offered each year. |
Advanced Buildings
case studies |
This program focuses on the development and demonstration of high-performance (significantly above commercial practice) single and attached residential buildings. The Program seeks to discover solutions that will increase construction productivity while delivering high performance and increase adoptability. It will transfer advances in building science and energy conversion systems into commercial practice by New York ’s residential construction industry.
The program will support two broad paths: discrete components and integrated whole buildings. The development and demonstration of discrete components will focus on advanced building envelope technologies, on-site energy conversion, energy controls and thermal storage. The integrated whole-building component will work with low-volume and production developers to produce exemplary complete buildings that incorporate the advanced features enabling high-performance. Solicitations, suitable for the building industry, including contractors, designers, suppliers, educators and associations will be offered periodically, to both develop and demonstrate all aspects of this program. |

Distributed
Generation/ Combined Heat and Power (DG/CHP)
case studies
|
NYSERDA promotes
innovative DG applications -- the on-site generation of
electricity by means of technologies such as microturbines
and fuel cells. In particular, the program promotes CHP
-- electric generation where heat is recaptured from the
process and used for space or domestic water heating,
which improves the overall efficiency of the system.
Twice a year,
a solicitation is available to help fund DG/CHP demonstration
projects, feasibility projects, or for developing technologies
used in DG/CHP.

closed opportunities, visit NYSERDA's Funding Opportunities page.
