DOE to Undertake Window Research Project
The Department of Energy has announced that its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy intends to issue a “Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to select and fund approximately two teams to develop, manufacture, and commercialize cost effective, highly insulating windows with an NFRC U-value
rating of 0.20 BTU/hr-Ft2-°F or lower.” The announcement was made in the Federal Register on Tuesday, February 19.
According to the Federal Register, the FOA is expected to be issued on or about April 21, 2008. The project likely would last 12 to 24 months and would require a 50-50 industry cost-shared effort with the DOE, and those selected for the project will be announced in late 2008.
