Building Construction Technology Extension Program (BCTEP) Pilot Projects

NIST invites proposals from eligible proposers to fund pilot projects under a new Building Construction Technology Extension Program (BCTEP). This pilot program will address increasing energy efficiency in commercial and industrial building operations. This pilot program will focus on “re-tuning,” which is a systematic semi-automated process of identifying operational problems in commercial and industrial buildings.

Eligible proposers are existing MEP Centers, which are expected to form an appropriate contractual relationship (subaward or procurement) with community/technical colleges or universities with existing commercial building automation/technology systems curricula and/or trade associations with existing commercial building automation/technology systems curricula. Other MEP Centers may be included as subrecipients as appropriate to the proposer’s defined geographic region. Letters of commitment from subawardees and contractors regarding faculty, facilities and/or curriculum/materials should be included.
