陶氏，JCI，飞利浦和更多股份在绿色建筑刺激基金中

这美国能源部is awarding more than $76 million in Recovery Act funds to 58 projects that will develop advanced energy efficiency technology for buildings and training programs for commercial building operators, technicians and energy auditors.

Work by陶氏化学公司，，，，道琼斯康宁公司，，，，通用电气，，，，Honeywell International Inc.，，，，Johnson Controls Inc.，，，，飞利浦电子北美公司，，，，Sage Electrochromics Inc。，，，，西门子公司研究，，，，3M公司和加州大学伯克利分校是选择资金的项目之一。

"These projects will help the United States lead the world in advancing energy efficient technologies," Energy Secretary Steven Chu said last week in announcing the awards. "Energy efficient commercial buildings will help our country cut its carbon emissions and energy costs while the training programs will upgrade the skills of the current workforce and attract the next generation to careers in the emerging clean-energy economy."

美国的建筑物 - 约1.14亿户家庭和超过740亿平方英尺的商业地板空间 - 消耗了该国使用的大约40％的能源。建筑物还造成39％的二氧化碳，18％的氮氧化物和55％的二氧化硫排放。

这$76 million in federal money for green building technology will be leveraged with about $33 million in private funds for a total project value of almost $110 million.

More than two-thirds of the federal funding -- $68.4 million -- went to 45 projects for development of advanced energy efficiency building technology in five key areas:

• Net-Zero Energy Buildings- 12 projects share almost $22.5 million for development of advanced building control strategies, communications and information technologies that will help enable new and existing buildings to be net-zero energy structures -- buildings that consume only as much energy as they generate.
• 分析，设计和技术工具- Five projects totaling almost $6 million focus on the complex interactions among building elements such as climate, envelope heat and moisture transfer, internal heat gains, lighting power, HVAC equipment, controls, thermal and visual comfort, and energy costs.
• Building Envelope and Windows-14个获得2280万美元的项目旨在提高具有高级窗口和信封组件的商业和住宅结构的能源效率。建筑物信封消耗的能量的一半损失在墙壁，屋顶和地基中。
• Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning and Crosscutting Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Research- 10亿美元的10个项目旨在大幅提高HVAC系统在商业和住宅使用和开发适用于空调和制冷的技术的效率。
• 水加热，电器和其他电力负载- 四个收到约600万美元的项目是提高加热设备的效率并减少各种电力负载。

其余13个项目将共享约760万美元的联邦资金，以为商业建筑设备技术人员，建筑运营商以及能源调试人员和审计师制定培训计划。

这funding recipients and their projects include:

• 陶氏化学公司received $2.95 million for development of advanced insulation for high-performance, cost-effective, wall, roof and foundation systems.


• 道琼斯康宁公司received $1.2 million for support of high energy efficient exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) through development of an improved form of insulated cladding material to help commercial buildings become net-zero energy structures.


• 通用电气Global Research涉及乔治华盛顿大学和GE电器的项目获得了147万美元，以开发新的磁性制冷材料。预计这些材料将使住宅制冷技术的效率提高30％。


• Honeywell International Inc.收到了180万美元，以创建一个系统，该系统将动态安排空间调理，热水器和其他主要设备，并监视和分析能源消耗，并建议您在家庭中进行进一步的节能措施。


• Johnson Controls Inc.收到了400万美元 - 两个项目中的200万美元。首先涉及以开放集成框架的形式开发集成的建筑管理系统，该框架允许多生系统使用Internet协议无缝地互操作。该公司将创建一个平台，用于实施新的集成控制策略，并启用其他企业控制应用程序，例如需求响应。
  
  在第二个项目中，约翰逊控制WIL研究开发和测试了一个集成的预测需求响应控制器 - 通信界面将接收来自公用事业或电力零售商的实时定价信号。该技术将使用行业标准开放方案和新兴国家标准和技术标准研究所开发。


• 飞利浦电子北美公司received almost $2.2 million to help produce energy efficient and comfortable buildings through multivariate integrated control (ECoMIC). The goal is to reduce energy consumption in retrofit and new commercial buildings by through integrated energy optimization control systems for electric lighting, daylight and local HVAC. In a recent网络研讨会与greenbiz.com，飞利浦照明的史蒂夫·麦奎尔（Steve McGuire）谈到了通过建造改造和设计将节能繁殖的，这些改造和设计考虑了照明，日光，HVAC和其他元素之间如何相互作用。


• Sage Electrochromics Inc。获得了160万美元的工作，从而提高了电彩色玻璃的能源性能并降低了价格，以实现更大的市场渗透率。该公司的节能动态Sageglass电子上色调和清除to manage sunlight and heat gain.


• 西门子公司研究收到了140万美元，以开发用于HVAC和窗口/盲型操作的高级综合控制，该控制将获得40％的能源节省，而标准能源使用则可以。


• 3M公司received $1.9 million to develop a clear and colorless polymeric multilayer infrared reflecting film that reflects 90-95 percent of the infrared energy.


• 加州大学伯克利分校收到了近200万美元，以开发和测试分布式智能自动需求响应（DIADR）建筑物管理系统，该系统将使能源需求减少30％，而不会损害建筑物居住者的舒适性，生产力和健康状况。
