DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Golden Field Office; Grant Award to University of Wisconsin

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the DOE 
Financial Assistance Rules, 10 CFR 600.7, is announcing its intention 
to award a grant to the University of Wisconsin for continuing research 
efforts in support of the DOE Office of Building Energy Research 
programs. The Wisconsin project seeks to develop and improve solar 
heating and cooling systems for building applications.

ADDRESSES: Questions regarding this announcement may be addressed to 
the U.S. Department of Energy, Golden Field Office, 1617 Cole Blvd., 
Golden, Colorado 80401, Attention: John K. Lewis, Contract Specialist, 
303-275-4739. The Contracting Officer is John W. Meeker.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed basic research will contribute 
to the DOE mission by assisting in the development of solar heating and 
cooling technologies for use in buildings. Successful completion of 
this research would advance the goal of commercialization of solar 
heating and cooling systems. Deploying these technologies will reduce 
energy use in buildings which, in the U.S., accounts for about 40% of 
annual national energy consumption.
    The proposed research effort has four major objectives: (1) Provide 
support to the Solar Rating and Certification Commission (SRCC): (2) 
further develop the TRNSYS program to include state-of-the-art solar 
component models; (3) investigate new and innovative solar heating 
systems; and (4) increase the capabilities of TRNSYS and expand the 
current base of TRNSYS users.
    DOE has performed a review in accordance with 10 CFR 600.7 and has 
determined that the activity to be funded is necessary to 
satisfactorily complete the current research. DOE funding for the Grant 
is estimated at $275,000 and the anticipated period of performance is 
twelve (12) months.
