["Inovues, Inc.","info@inovues.com","(833) 466-8837","Small Business Corporation","Topic 1: Integrated Technical Retrofits; advanced energy-saving system (high-performance building envelope retrofit solution).","Facade and Window Upgrade without Replacement:\nInovues has developed a non-intrusive building envelope retrofit system. Our patented technology makes it feasible for building owners to upgrade the facades and windows to incorporate the latest innovations, without replacement, so they can bring their buildings up to the highest standards and expectations without disruption.\n\nInovues’ slim and lightweight retrofit system can carry a high-performance window or cladding panel and can be mounted to an existing infill panel, internally or externally, using a non-intrusive mechanism. The technology makes it economically and technically feasible to transform a windowpane for example (in situ, from outside or inside) into a multi-pane insulating glass unit (a product typically fabricated in a facility), which can increase the insulation (U-Value) of the overall window by up to 10 times.\n\nInovues’ adaptable retrofit system can be used to transform inefficient single- or double-glazed windows and glass walls/curtain-walls into high-performing double- or triple-glazed systems, without requiring any drilling, removal, or alteration. Further, our upgradable system provides a platform that has the potential to be the basis for rapid adoption of smart windows in existing buildings—it makes it feasible for building owners to adopt the latest window glass products, including dynamic, transparent photovoltaic, and R10 vacuum insulated glass.\n\nIn terms of installation (as an exterior retrofit), the unique structure of our system allows it to be installed using existing façade access systems or traditional window washing swing-stage scaffolds without requiring custom installation platforms. Our non-intrusive installation method can result in no disruption/downtime to the building and businesses/occupants, no damage to the building envelope, and no construction-related waste that needs to be shipped to landfills, which in turn, makes our solution more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.\n\nFor a fraction of the cost and time it takes to rip out and replace existing windows, Inovues’ retrofit solution delivers similar performance results and helps building owners reduce their energy consumption by up to 40% (among many other energy and non-energy benefits) without causing disruption to the building. Our solution eliminates the downtime associated with window replacement and provides up to 10 times faster payback and up to 400% return on investment (ROI).\n\nInovues’ patented system went through multiple laboratory and field tests in 2018 per ASTM E 283, 330, 331, 2188, 90 and AAMA 1503, 501.1 industry standards successfully at a leading independent testing facility.\n\nWe are considering submitting an independent proposal, but we are also interested in collaborating with other companies (e.g., energy service companies and/or other technology providers) to develop a holistic, integrated and scalable, deep energy retrofit solution for buildings."]

["New Buildings Institute","info@newbuildings.org","(503) 761-7339","Non-profit Organization","ZNE Research Studies Identify Trends. NBI’s groundbreaking research on trends, features, energy performance and tally of zero net energy buildings (ZNE) in North America offers the most comprehensive view of the landscape for ZNE. NBI has also worked nationally with industry leaders to study the costs and technical feasibility of zero net energy buildings, including a financial study for the District of Columbia. \n\nOnline Database Profiles Buildings. Building on our ZNE research, NBI continues to track and verify ZNE status with its 2019 list showing almost 600 verified and emerging projects, a 700% increase in the past six years. Case studies on many of these projects and other ultra-low energy buildings can be found in NBI’s Getting to Zero Buildings Database. \n\nCalifornia ZNE Early Adopter Network and Workshops. NBI staff has been working to increase market acceptance and participation in California’s zero net energy goals. We helped formalize an Early Adopter Network and, in partnership with local utilities and the California Public Utilities Commission, we train stakeholders on ZNE design and project planning providing educational resources, toolkits, case studies and a regular ZNE Action Bulletin. \n\nGetting to Zero Convenings. NBI’s findings on zero net energy progress have been presented by staff and cited by others at dozens of conferences and workshops. As of 2016, NBI’s zero net energy webinar series touched over 2,500 designers, owners and advocates; it remains the best intelligence on important aspects of ZNE. In 2018, NBI held the fourth Getting to Zero National Forum where nearly 450 participants gathered to learn about and collaborate on ZNE. \n\nA Focus on Outcome-Based Performance. For nearly a decade, NBI has been a leading advocate for measured energy performance in buildings. This overarching focus on energy use data means that high performance buildings will actually save energy and reduce carbon emissions rather than relying primarily on predictive models. NBI has been working with the National Institute of Building Sciences to establish a clear path to transition the industry to more common reliance on measured, outcome-based performance for determining a building’s efficiency in operation. \n\nDeep Energy Retrofits Upgrade Existing Building Efficiency. Realizing deep energy savings in existing buildings has long been a focus of NBI. A report on the potential for small commercial retrofits produced in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Preservation Green Lab estimates that investments in energy conservation could generate $30 billion in annual energy cost savings, improving the financial performance of millions of small businesses. These early research findings contributed to a U.S. Department of Energy investment of $10 million for six deep energy efficiency projects to reduce carbon pollution and energy bills in small commercial buildings. \nPublic Building Portfolio Management. With funding from NEEA, NBI launched a PBPM project with the cities of Tacoma and Boise. The project looks at comprehensive, portfolio-wide building improvement policies and uses measured energy data to analyze consumption of existing building stock. PBPM has been expanded nationally to additional cities through a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy. \n\nSetting Higher Standards in Energy Codes. Energy codes set the minimum standard for efficiency levels of the country’s building stock. In recent code development cycles, major model energy codes have seen substantial increases in efficiency stringency due to efforts by NBI and partners such as The American Institute of Architects, Building Owners and Managers Association and others. Together, we were able to rewrite sections of the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) to clarify and strengthen application of these codes to existing commercial buildings as well as “historic buildings” increasing the impact of the code on retrofit projects. These achievements build on the changes to the 2012 IECC based on the NBI-developed Core Performance Guide that resulted in an energy code that is up to 30% more energy efficient than current standards require. \n\nSupporting Adoption of Advanced Energy Codes Locally. NBI supports local jurisdictions in the adoption of higher stringency energy codes. We supported the State of Vermont in development of technical measures, evaluation approaches and implementation plans for its upcoming code cycles. Similarly, NBI has supported the Energy Trust of Oregon on development of code roadmaps for the state. In California, NBI participated on a team of technical and policy experts to conduct a “top-down” code study that sets energy savings targets for code updates based on state energy policy goals and provides focus for strategies and tactics to accelerate market transformation to fast-track code readiness. Most recently, staff worked with NYSERDA to develop New York state’s first-ever stretch code.\n","20 years to drive better energy performance in commercial buildings. NBI’s mission is to take leading-edge practices and technology applications for high performance buildings and translate them into innovative and practical solutions for the energy efficiency and commercial building industries. NBI’s work history and staff expertise – combined with its mission to fundamentally change the building sector to support zero energy buildings – makes NBI an excellent partner in the zero energy space."]

For a prototype with 1/8” aerogel the specs we have achieved are 5 % haze, 70 % transmittance, and 0.57 BTU/hr/oF/ft2 U-factor, and further development is underway to reduce haze and U-factor.  The aerogel can also have impact in storm windows, skylights, and daylighting applications.\n3. Materials characterization: PARC has facilities to synthesize polymer aerogels and characterize the properties relevant to fenestration applications: porosity and pore size distribution, UV-VIS-NIR transmittance, light scattering, thermal stability, and thermal conductivity.  \n4. Smart reflectors: PARC is developing novel reflective coatings with tunable, and switchable reflectance.  Applications include passive and active thermal management for building envelope materials.   \n\nWe are looking for partners to collaborate on technoeconomic modeling, integration with building envelope products (glazing, roofing, etc), field testing, and implementation in building retrofits.\n"]
