SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Building America program focuses on

[[Page 30362]]

conducting the systems research required to improve the efficiency of 
the approximately 1.6 million new homes built each year with the goal 
of developing cost effective net zero energy homes by 2020. These 
improvements are accomplished through research, development, field 
trials, and effective communication of key research results and system-
based strategies. Building America implements this approach primarily 
through a group of teams. These teams typically include architects, 
engineers, building scientists, builders, equipment manufacturers, 
material suppliers, community planners, mortgage lenders, realtors, and 
contractor trades. This FOA, ``Building America Energy Efficient 
Housing Partnerships,'' will select multiple teams to continue the 
highly effective research Building America has undertaken since 1995.
