- Description
- The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is a new agencyof theDepartment of Energy. ARPA-E was authorized by the America COMPETES Act (PL 110-69) and charged with the mission to fund projects that will developtransformational technologies that reduce Americas dependence on foreignenergyimports; reduce U.S. energy related emissions, including greenhouse gases;improve energy efficiency across all sectors of the U.S. economy; andensurethat the United States maintains its leadership in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies. Initially funded through the AmericanRecoveryand Reinvestment Act (PL 111-5), ARPA-E aims to support the development ofhighrisk/high payoff applied science and technology innovations that will haveapositive disruptive impact on the energy landscape. Buildings consume 40 percent of the primary energy in the United States,andaccount for 72 percent of the nation's electricity use and 55 percent ofthenation's natural gas use. The objective of this funding opportunityannouncement is to develop energy efficient cooling technologies/airconditioners (AC) for buildings to reduce GHG emissions from: (a) primaryenergy consumption due to space cooling; and (b) refrigerants used vaporcompression systems. ARPA-E seeks innovative research and developmentapproaches to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions due tocooling ofbuildings by: (i) development of cooling systems that use refrigerants withlowglobal warming potential of less than or equal to 1: (ii) development ofenergyefficient air conditioning (AC) systems for warm and humid climates toincreasethe coefficient of performance (COP) of ventilation load cooling by greater than or to 50 percent; and (iii) increased efficiency of hot climate vaporcompression AC systems for re-circulating air loads by increasing the COPbygreater than or equal to 50 percent. One or more combination of thesetechnologies can be utilized in buildings, where many factors influence the cooling load, including but not limited to: (1) type of building, such asoffice space versus hospitals (which have very high ventilation loads -almost100 fresh air); and (2) climate type - warm and humid versus hot and dry.
