The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) invites public comment
on its Request for Information (RFI). The
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE) Building
Technologies Office (BTO) seeks input
from the public about research and
development opportunities in building
energy modeling (BEM). In particular,
BTO is interested in feedback on
planned research and development
initiatives and their prioritization, on
program scope, and on data-sets, metrics
and targets for assessing program
effectiveness and impact.
DATES: Responses to the RFI must be
received by 5:00 p.m. (ET) on June 3,
2019.
SUMMARY:
Interested parties are to
submit comments electronically to
BTO_BEM_RDO@ee.doe.gov. Include
‘‘DRAFT Research and Development
Opportunities for Building Energy
Modeling’’ in the subject of the title.
Responses must be provided as
attachments to an email. It is
recommended that attachments with file

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback
from industry, academia, research
laboratories, government agencies, and
other stakeholders on BTO’s BEM
program and its future directions and
priorities. To clarify these, BTO has
developed a report that is structured
around six focus areas (the BEM value
proposition, predictive accuracy of
BEM, core modeling capabilities,
workflow integration and automation,
the BEM data ecosystem, and BEM
professionals). The report identifies
barriers to the increased adoption of
BEM and proposing a set of initiatives
to address them. BTO is requesting
feedback on each of these barriers, the
associated initiatives, as well as barriers
and initiatives that have not been
identified. BTO is also requesting
feedback on datasets, metrics, and
targets for assessing the impact and
progress of the BEM industry and its
own BEM program. The RFI is available
at: https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/.
