Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Achieving ET Program Goals Requires Cost Reductions ET 2020 – ET Multi-year Program Plan Targets for 2020 “Other” dominates in future: Transformers, medical imagers, elevators, escalators, pumps, laundry equipment, pumps, fume hoods, CHP, etc. Best available does not consider cost ET 2020 includes cost effectiveness

Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade 5 Example BTO Project: Sandia Heat Exchanger

Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade 6 Pathway to Commercialization of Low-Cost Wireless Sensors Print components on flexible substrates: circuits sensors antenna photovoltaics battery Low temperature photonic curing: sinters ink for high electric conductivity plastic substrate undamaged Peel and stick flexible platform: pick and place unprintable components Project Goal: Develop and deploy low-cost wireless sensors for building monitoring. Reduce cost to manufacture and commission ($1-$10/node) Low-power wireless communication driven by energy harvesting techniques Retrofit-friendly devices with minimal maintenance Multi-sensor platform tailored for building monitoring needs Leverage additive, roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques to enable rapid adoption

Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade 7 Low-cost haziness-free transparent insulation based on porous silica Windows are responsible for about 2.15 quads of heating energy consumption and 1.48 quads of cooling energy consumption annually. High performance window replacements are too expensive for mass market uptake. Reduces the cost of the windows while improving their insulation without compromising their transparency. Silica Particle Powder
