Emerging Technology Proposal Form

The Commercial Building Energy Alliances (CBEA) are currently selecting promising emerging technologies that would significantly improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings. CBEA working groups will consider these technologies for possible large-scale testing, evaluation, formulation of procurement specifications, or other measures to accelerate their application in commercial buildings. In general, these technologies should be innovative products or systems that are not now widely used but could be within the next two or three years.

The quest for new technologies is ongoing, so there is no single deadline for submitting information.

You are invited to propose technologies for evaluation. A form is provided below for this purpose. Asterisks (*) mark required fields. When you are finished with the form click the "Submit" button.
