Awardees of the 2017 Emerging Technologies (Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers and Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT)), CBI (Scaling Up the Next Generation of Building Efficiency Packages), and the RBI (Building America Industry Partnerships for High Performance Housing) Funding Opportunities met on December 12, 2017 in Washington, D.C. This kickoff brought together the project teams to discuss their work in the larger context of the Building Technologies Office. The day facilitated the exchange of technical and commercialization ideas, sparked discussions and partnership opportunities among the attendees and included a discussion of technology-to-market strategies and tools to help project teams move their technologies to market.
