NLR seeks to engage leading technical subject matter experts (SMEs) to help buildings industry stakeholders scale up and meet demand for lower-cost, high-quality buildings. SMEs will support DOE’s Building America program, both its just-launched new construction support program and existing support programs for building envelope retrofits.
The new construction support program will provide technical assistance to help partners erect high-quality buildings faster and at lower cost, ultimately delivering savings to everyday Americans. NLR seeks leading subject matter experts (SMEs) in research, field validation, analysis, dissemination, and technical support efforts to help builders, manufacturers, contractors, and other industry stakeholders scale up and meet demand. This work will focus on factory optimization, product design and materials innovation, and digital tools and modeling.
For envelope retrofits, this work will help reduce first costs and lower utility bills in existing homes by focusing on technical topics including, but not limited to, addressing moisture, humidity, and infiltration through envelope upgrades and whole-home solutions.
Across both areas, SMEs will also conduct modeling and analysis, data collection, industry analysis, and market scaling support. This work will include knowledge transfer to provide actionable guidance and information to industry stakeholders.
For over 30 years, DOE’s Building America Program has been a source of innovations and best practices needed to deliver affordable and efficient homes. NLR supports DOE’s Building America Program through scientific leadership and building science expertise to ensure high-quality, impactful results from Building America’s research efforts.
The Subcontractor shall provide specific technical assistance and development tasks defined by NLR on an as-needed basis, generally including responses to requests for information, development of technical content, research, and analysis. Task areas include: 4.1 Testing and Validation (designing and conducting lab or field experiments on energy performance, durability, indoor environmental quality, and moisture performance); 4.2 Industrialized Construction Optimization (factory optimization, AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing); 4.3 Modeling and Analysis (energy and hygrothermal modeling and simulation); 4.4 Industry Analysis (market analysis of gaps, challenges, and trends); 4.5 Market Scaling (design guidance and review, community engagement, implementation support); and 4.6 Guidance and Best Practices (publications, best practices, datasets, fact sheets, how-to guides, videos, tools, curriculum and training content). Typical deliverables include technical reports, fact sheets and case studies, trade publication articles, presentations and webinars, journal and conference papers, and training content.

A surety’s written statement that it expects to bond you up to a stated amount, subject to final underwriting. It’s what an agency asks to see before they take your bid seriously.
