The Building Technologies Program supports a broad range of activities designed to facilitate widespread adoption and use of energy-saving technologies and practices. These activities are primarily executed through the program's technology validation and market introduction initiatives, however, outreach efforts can be also found throughout our research programs. On this page you'll find information about and links to these activities.
Technology Validation and Market Introduction
The Building Technologies Program and its partners strive to integrate energy efficient technologies into the marketplace through the following technology validation and market introduction activities:
In addition, more information can be found on the program's consumer- and builder-oriented Web sites for both residential and commercial markets.
