Join our kickoff showcasing SyracuseCoE’s new Energy Program Innovation Cluster for Equity and Health in Grid-interactive & Efficient Building (EPIC GEB). Learn more about opportunities to companies available from this program and about market opportunities expected in the GEB sector.

Buildings account for more than 70% of U.S. electricity consumption and power sector CO2 emissions. By combining energy efficiency and demand flexibility, grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) can remake buildings into a clean and flexible resource, saving billions in power system costs, reducing carbon emissions and relieving stress on the nation’s grid. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEB) work to remake buildings into a clean and flexible energy resource by combining energy efficiency and demand flexibility with smart technologies and communications to deliver affordable, comfortable, productive, and high performing homes and buildings.

What is the SyracuseCoE EPIC GEB Program?

Syracuse University and CenterState CEO have received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to accelerate development and commercialization of energy hardware innovations in the upstate New York region designed to enhance ‘grid-interactive’ and energy-efficient buildings.

We will be joined at this online forum by Monica Neukomm, Technology Manager for Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEB) in the Energy Department's Building Technologies Office (BTO), as well as by Ed Bogucz, Bess Krietemeyer, Bing Dong from Syracuse University, and Sarah Hood and Juhanna Rogers from CenterState CEO.
