Pilot Your Emerging Tech at GSA: FY24 RFI

This year's Green Proving Ground RFI seeks technologies that enable energy efficiency and decarbonization in commercial buildings and contribute to a more efficient electric infrastructure. Technologies selected to participate in GPG will be piloted in one or more federal buildings and/or private sector facilities for evaluation by DOE national labs.

FY24 Technology Focus Areas

This year’s RFI will focus on emerging and sustainable technologies that support:

• Deep Energy Retrofits
• All-Electric Buildings and Vehicle Fleets
• Net-Zero Operations
• Healthy and Resilient Buildings
• Building Commissioning and Control

Participation Requirements

• Technologies should be early- or underutilized-commercial and ready for evaluation in occupied, operational buildings.

• For GSA-selected technologies, core equipment must be gifted to the federal government as outlined in 40 U.S.C. 3175 or provided via an alternative financing mechanism. Installation is funded by GSA.

• For DOE-selected technologies, project costs are negotiated with the vendor and host site partners.
