NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) seeks proposals for projects that reduce their energy consumption and per capita carbon emissions in a manner which can be replicated at scale. Selected projects are eligible to receive up to $1,000,000 in direct funding, as well as support for initiatives focused on broad marketing and public awareness.
The competition accepts proposals for projects that are in any one of the four following statuses: early design, late design, under construction, and post-completion performance optimization.
Proposers must demonstrate:
how the project will generate interest in and demand for the construction of advanced clean energy buildings,
their commitment to share information related to the project’s design, costs, and performance, which is expected to support decision-making processes employed to achieve the desired outcomes, and
architectural and urban design quality and innovation.
