[43,"2020-04-27","Technical Topics","Topic Area 2 discusses targeting the \"support the rapid growth of clean energy technologies by training and education safety officials, and building managers and owners.\" The following paragraphs then discuss fire, construction and building inspectors \"to ensure that all relevant local building codes, ordinances, zoning regulations, and contract specifications are met in construction and commissioning\". We are confused by the interchanging references between the building inspection profession, and the building management profession. These are two very different professions, the first being enforcement, and the latter being operations and maintenance as we believe is widely understood. The FOA then immediately discusses the high percentage of retirement in the building official workforce (and we are assuming this means building inspectors.) Each of these professions has very different professional development needs. Would you please clarify if the FOA Topic Area 2 is for Building Officials, Building Managers or both?","Both."]

[45,"2020-04-30","Cost Sharing","Will DOE use the amount of cost share offered in an application as a factor when considering selection of full applications for award negotiation?","Full applications go through several review stages.  First they are reviewed to ensure the applicant is eligible to receive funding and that the application is responsive to the goals and requirements stated in the FOA.   Then a team of reviewers review the applications against the merit review criteria contained in the FOA. Cost share will not be considered when determining the merit of applications.  Meritorious applications are forwarded to the selection official for consideration.  The selection official may use program policy factors when making selections.  Program policy factors can be found starting on page 42 of the FOA.  Specifically, the selection official may consider whether “The degree to which the proposed project, including proposed cost share, optimizes the use of available EERE funding to achieve programmatic objectives.” Under this program policy factor, DOE may consider the amount of cost share offered by an applicant and how that additional funding beyond DOE’s funding will help achieve the goals of the FOA.  "]

[62,"2020-06-30","Application Content/Format","I have a question regarding the Technical Volume page limit for the FOA, DE-FOA-0002258. The FOA has two contradicting statements regarding the page limit.
