These partners are contributing a combined total of $2.7 million in advanced building energy technologies and services for the building, and committing to working with Fraunhofer CSE on research projects to be deployed and integrated into the new “living laboratory.â€

    Technologies contributed by industry partners range from building-integrated solar photovoltaics to radiant flooring; high-efficiency building envelope components such as roof membrane, windows, doors, and insulation; an advanced, efficient 200-ton chiller system; and others.
