The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance a proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection will gather opinions of experts in industry and other organizations regarding the impact on the development and diffusion of energy-efficient HVAC, water heating, and appliance technologies of DOE/ EERE Building Technologies Office (BTO) investments. Expert opinions are necessary to characterize counterfactual patterns of technology development and diffusion in the absence of DOE investments, and so (by comparing these counterfactuals with actual observations) estimate the difference DOE investments have made. This information is needed by DOE for budget justification and strategic planning. Respondents will include representatives of companies in the HVAC, water heating, and appliance supply chain (including companies that received DOE R&D funding and companies that received no direct funding from DOE), researchers at DOEfunded labs (e.g., ORNL, BNL), participants in DOE-funded consortiums, members of industry associations and standards/code bodies.
