DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Golden Field Office; Notice of Grant Award to University of 
Minnesota

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 Minnesota for continuing research 
efforts in support of the DOE Office of Building Energy Reserach 
programs. The project will experimentally evaluate a side-arm 
thermosiphon heat exchanger unit.

ADDRESSES: Questions regarding this announcement may be addressed to 
the U.S. Government of Energy, Golden Field Office, 1617 Cole Blvd., 
Golden, Colorado 80401, Attention: John W. Meeker, Contract Specialist, 
303-275-4748.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed basic research will contribute 
to the DOE mission by assisting in the development of improved solar 
heating technologies for use in buildings. Successful completion of 
this research would advance the goal of wide commercialization of solar 
heating systems. Deploying these technologies will reduce energy use in 
buildings which, in the U.S., accounts for about 40% of annual national 
energy consumption.

    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 $50,000 and the anticipated period of performance is 
twelve (12) months.
