About this opportunity
The Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) - 2024 funding opportunity seeks applications for research, development and demonstration of high-priority building technologies. The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Building Technologies Office will award up to $30 million to support projects across four topic areas: heating, ventilation and air conditioning; innovative roof and attic retrofits; building resilience solutions; and commercial lighting retrofits. Eligible entities include nonprofits, universities, local governments, tribes, small businesses and for-profits. Applications are due March 5, 2024 and awards will be made by June 25, 2024 under the Conservation Research and Development program.
Individual awards may be up to $5 million for up to three years. Funded projects will involve applied research, development and demonstration to advance decarbonization and resilience goals. Work is expected to be performed at facilities of the recipient organization as well as with partners and at field sites to validate technologies in relevant building environments and applications.

Modification 0001 This modification incorporates the following changes: Section 1.B: Revised Performance Goal/Target Outcomes for Subtopic 1B. Section III.E.i: ReplacedValue/Funding and Cost Share sections with Section III.E.i.c. Funding, Cost Share, and Subaward with FFRDCs. Additional revisions made throughout to align with the newest FOA template. Please download and review the FOA document for complete details, Specifically the Modifications table which begins on page 2. - Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) - 2024 The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is issuing, on behalf of the Building Technologies Office (BTO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) - 2024". The 2024 BENEFIT FOA will invest up to $30M (subject to appropriations) across four topic areas: Topic 1: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and Water Heating Technologies with improved materials, components, equipment design, and engineering, lower cost manufacturing processes, and easier installation. Topic 2: Innovative, Replicable, and Low-Cost Roof and Attic Retrofits Technologies for affordable and scalable roof and attic retrofits that improve energy efficiency and address air and water infiltration. Topic 3: Building Resilience and Capacity Constraints Novel approaches to maintain essential loads during blackouts and add power capacity to buildings without the need for major infrastructure upgrades; localized thermal management systems and thermally resilient building envelopes to provide cooling and overheating protection against extreme heat events. Topic 4: Commercial Lighting Retrofit Advancements Low-cost, high-quality retrofit solutions for lagging sectors in energy-efficient lighting adoption (schools, certain commercial buildings). DOE is compiling a Teaming Partner List to facilitate the formation of project teams for this FOA. The Teaming Partner List allows organizations that may wish to participate on a project to express their interest to other applicants and explore potential partnerships. Please see the Teaming List section of the FOA document for more information. EERE eXCHANGE is designed to enforce the deadlines specified in this FOA. The "Apply" and "Submit" buttons will automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. Should applicants experience problems with EERE eXCHANGE, the following information may be helpful. Applicants that experience issues with submission PRIOR to the FOA deadline: In the event that an applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the applicant should contact the EERE eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance (EERE-eXCHANGESupport@hq.doe.gov). The EERE eXCHANGE helpdesk and/or the EERE eXCHANGE system administrators will assist applicants in resolving issues.
