Not cost to Participate
Win up to $700K from the Department of Energy (DOE) for Robots to save energy
Join the MEP Advanced Technology Team (MATT) as we share how your organization can participate in the American-Made Buildings program to spur energy efficiency innovation in the building’s environment. Selected organizations receive CASH prizes and support from some of the world’s best pioneering makerspaces, dozens of energy incubators, universities, and 17 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories
As part of the American-Made Challenges series, the Envelope Retrofit Opportunities for Building Optimization Technologies (E-ROBOT) Prize is seeking innovative, hands-off solutions to retrofit existing residential and commercial structures. The task is not easy, but if it were, everyone would already be doing it.
There will be up to 10 winners of up to $200k in the first round, 4 of which will be eligible to win an additional $500k.
MATT member David McFeeters-Krone will moderate a webinar on this contest, providing companies insight into the prize structure and requirements. There will also be a panel of experts to discuss robotics' future in energy efficiency and manufacturing.
Join Us and Learn:
About the solutions requirements
- Mapping, retrofit, sensing, and inspection.
- The work itself should be minimally invasive, use safe materials, and of course, save oodles of energy
- About the Prize Structure and application Process
The application process is more straightforward than an SBIR, and David is an official connector for the program and can walk your clients through the process. David’s company Intellectual Assets is a certified connector for this prize and is eager to facilitate your applications.
