Notice of Request for Information (RFI) on Lighting R&D 
Opportunities

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Request for information (RFI).

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invites public comment on 
its Request for Information (RFI) number DE-FOA-0002160 regarding the 
DOE Building Technologies Office (BTO) Lighting Research and 
Development (R&D) Program. The purpose of this RFI is to seek broad 
stakeholder input to inform the strategic direction of the DOE Lighting 
Research & Development (R&D) Program and resulting portfolio. The 
purpose of issuing this RFI is to better understand how lighting 
research priorities and goals can be refined to reflect evolving 
technology needs and to inform related R&D technologies.

DATES: Responses to the RFI must be received by December 19, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to submit comments electronically to 
[email protected]. Include ``Lighting RFI'' in the subject of 
the title. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. It is 
recommended that attachments with file sizes exceeding 25MB be 
compressed (i.e., zipped) to ensure message delivery. Responses must be 
provided as a Microsoft Word (.docx) attachment to the email, and no 
more than 10 pages in length, 12-point font, 1-inch margins. Only 
electronic responses will be accepted. The complete RFI document is 
located at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions may be addressed to

document posted on EERE Exchange.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EERE is specifically interested in 
information on three different topic areas: (1) Provide critical input 
on current Lighting Program direction, activities, and opportunities; 
(2) Identify impactful lighting R&D opportunities within general 
illumination that are absent (or

under-represented) in the 2018 DOE Solid-State Lighting (SSL) R&D 
Opportunities (RDO) document; and (3) Identify impactful lighting R&D 
opportunities whose immediate applications are beyond general 
illumination but have the potential to help save energy in the built 
environment. The RFI is available at: https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/.

Confidential Business Information

    Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person submitting information that 
he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public
