Awardees of the 2016 BENEFIT Funding Opportunity and 2017 Sensors and Controls Lab Call participated in a kickoff meeting on November 18, 2016 in Golden, Colorado. 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.

Below you will find the presentations presented at this kickoff meeting. Please note that projects with an asterisk (*) will go to a project page, where the presentation can be found at the bottom of the page.
