65549 Buildings use 36 percent of the nation¿s energy resources. Houses with conventional ductwork systems in their attics suffer from energy loss because the systems were installed in very hot (or very cold) locations with little or no insulation to protect them, and often have excessive… More

65549 Conventional duct systems in houses have serious deficiencies. Usually, they are located in very hot or very cold attics with little insulation to protect them, and often they have excessive leaks and construction-caused defects. These problems result in energy losses, widely… More

72483B03-I Ductwork arrays in existing homes are notoriously leaky, and their inside surfaces are often covered with accumulated dirt, debris, and various unhealthy organisms. Aerosol sealing systems can plug small leaks only, and other retrofit techniques require substantial demolition or… More

72433S03-I Current residential HVAC systems consume an unnecessary amount of energy due to equipment oversizing, incorrect refrigerant charge, and incorrect air flow. In addition, these systems do not have humidity control, which leads to discomfort or results in more energy use. This project… More

Steven Winter Associates, Inc. (SWA) proposes to develop a nation-wide informal technology education program that integrates math, science, engineering and technology (STEM) through its Think Tek Learning Lab. The goal of the Lab is three-pronged: providing an after-school enrichment program for… More

The DoD management has duly recognized the scope of the energy problem in its operations and has undertaken several initiatives on renewable and alternative energy technologies. However, there are still energy issues that need to be addressed. According to the DoD SBIR 2011.3 solicitation, more… More
