DOE laboratories that are participating in the Lab-Corps pilot program have assembled entrepreneurial teams to identify private-sector opportunities for commercializing promising sustainable energy technologies. Each Lab-Corps team has its own industry mentor.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL’s) CI-ReClad team evaluated the commercialization potential of a building envelope retrofit system for commercial buildings. The retrofit system is based on an existing Dow Chemical Company product, THERMAX Wall System (TWS). The new system, called TWS – ReClad, combines the components of air, vapor, and water-resistive barriers while providing continuous thermal insulation. Members of ORNL’s CI-ReClad team share their experiences and lessons learned in the above video.
