GSA & DOE Seek Technologies for Healthy & Resilient Buildings
The U.S. General Services Administration’s Proving Ground (GPG) program, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to obtain responses from vendors and other interested parties on resource-efficient technologies that improve commercial building health and resilience.
This year’s RFI is focused on resource-efficient technologies that:
- Maintain Healthy Indoor Air with integrated solutions, including efficient ventilation strategies, that mitigate threats to indoor air quality without compromising energy-efficient operations.
- Increase Building Resilience with technologies that extend passive survivability and/or support continuity of operations.
- Improve Onsite Photovoltaics (PV) with U.S. manufactured high-efficiency PV with improved materials construction, fabrication processes and/or installation methods, building-integrated photovoltaics, and innovative PV and storage systems.
The RFI will remain open until December 4th, 2020 at 11:59 pm ET. We encourage you to share this announcement with your broader network. To learn more about the RFI:
- Register for a webinar about the RFI to be held on November 5th at 1 pm ET
- Read more about the RFI on gsa.gov
- View the RFI posting on beta.sam.gov, Solicitation# JEZ47PA0121R0000
About GSA’s Proving Ground (GPG) Program
GSA’s Proving Ground program works with third-party evaluators to test innovative pre- and early-commercial building technologies in federally-owned buildings. The program enables GSA to make investment decisions in next-generation building technologies based on actual performance. Following favorable evaluation results, 23 GPG-evaluated technologies have been deployed in more than 500 facilities in GSA’s real-estate portfolio. www.gsa.gov/gpg.
