Technology Procurement

Using technology procurement — a method that harnesses the buying power of large-volume buyers to speed early commercialization of new technologies — we have transformed markets for several appliance and energy end-use products. Cooperating with key market players such as manufacturers, builders, engineering firms, utilities, nonprofit organizations, retailers, wholesalers, housing agencies, federal and state agencies and other private-sector businesses, we have spearheaded projects leading to the successful creation, commercialization, and large-volume sales of several new energy-efficient products.
