Team, led by Pennsylvania State University will receive during the next five years as from the US Department of Energy (DOE) to establish energy innovation Hub focused on making buildings more energy-efficient technologies and the development of more than 122 million dollar. Energy innovation hub located at Philadelphia Navy Yard Clean Energy to the campus and will bring together leading researchers in academia, two US National Laboratories and the private sector to develop an ambitious effort, energy efficient building designs save energy, Cut pollution, and the position of the United States in this field.
Buildings account for nearly 40% of U.s. energy consumption and carbon emissions. Building energy efficiency systems offers significant benefits — energy and the invoices, cutting, in order to reduce pollution and job creation, and the efficiency of the building industry.
Secretary Chu ' energy innovation hubs are a key part of the Microsoft commitment to American ingenuity to harness the power of energy breakthroughs to achieve the href, "said."By bringing together some of the brightest of our confusion, we cannot develop State-of-the-art building energy efficiency energy technologies that reduce energy bills, Cut carbon pollution and job creation. This important investment will help you become a leading clean energy economy Philadelphia. "
Pennsylvania Governor Edward g. Rendell "significant federal funding strengthens energy innovation hub based on Pennsylvania's growing reputation as a Director of clean energy," said. "In addition to our protection of the environment, investment in clean energy to create good paying jobs.And great ideas that come with this uraauurtavista energy course to our people in order to reduce dependency on foreign energy sources — represent a win-win taxpayers."
"This funding is the Commonwealth good news and a decisive step towards creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly use of airspace to the United States of America-said the US Senator Bob Casey." This support, the Consortium can focus on energy efficiency and innovation and to assist communities by reducing their energy use and Pennsylvanians good jobs. "
US Senator Arlen Specter "to reduce the energy consumption of buildings according to the clean energy, energy-efficient, low emission us essential part" said. "This funding provides a major opportunity to create new jobs and industries, save energy, reduce the cost of energy and reduce emissions. I am satisfied with the Penn State and Philadelphia are leading the nation through technological innovation. "
This energy is the hub of innovation research, develop and very effective in building components, systems and models which shall apply to the spare part and new construction.Hub team to continue the research, development and demonstration (RD & D) program, to a single buildings and district-wide systems.
These technologies include computer simulation and design tools, an integrated project teams architects, engineers, contractors and building operators to work on for the renovation and retrofit, allows authors to the construction of new projects; developed for combined heat and power (CHP) systems; building-integrated photovoltaic systems for energy production; advanced HVAC systems with an integrated indoor air quality, and the sensor and control system for networks to monitor the conditions of the building and optimize energy use.RD & D-program are also included in the systematic review policy, markets and the functioning of the market and use of energy in buildings.
The energy-efficient Building Systems Design hub is one of the three hubs, which are funded FY10. The Department announced in may, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, led by the Working Party shall draw up modeling and simulation of nuclear reactors hub.The Department announced in July, California Institute of Technology, led by the Working Party shall draw up Hub focused Fuels Sunlight. Energy innovation hubs are large, highly collaborative, multidisciplinary groups of scientists and engineers working for an extended period of time frame to achieve the objective of the specific critical technical. managed top teams of scientists and engineers with enough resources, and the power to move quickly in response to new developments.
Team, led by Dr. Henry c. Foley, use of the Navy Yard to the campus, which has over 200 buildings and works as an independent electronic microgrid "virtual" and the names of the test, and validate the RD & D program actual buildings developed by technologies.
The energy innovation hub to be funded by DOE is not more than 22 million this fiscal year, are financed under the guarantee section of the hub., then the estimated 25 million dollars per year in the next four years, the United States to the budget.
In addition, the energy-efficient Building Systems Design Hub serves to support regional innovation agencies initiative-Cluster as an anchor. for more information about regional innovation Cluster will be published soon.
