Building America Subject Matter Expert Technical Support
NLR seeks leading technical subject matter experts to support DOE’s Building America program in scaling lower-cost, high-quality building solutions. The work covers a just-launched new construction support program and existing building envelope retrofit support programs. New construction efforts will focus on technical assistance, factory optimization, product design and materials innovation, and digital tools/modeling to help builders, manufacturers, contractors, and other stakeholders scale up. Retrofit efforts will address moisture, humidity, and infiltration through envelope upgrades and whole-home solutions to reduce first costs and utility bills in existing homes. Across both areas, SMEs will conduct research, field validation, modeling and analysis, data collection, industry analysis, market scaling, dissemination, technical support, and knowledge transfer.
