CEE CARD资助:帮助明尼苏达人靠谱的外围竞猜app
明尼苏达州商务部总共拨款2美元.4 million in conservation research funding to the 能源与环境中心 and its partners for 10 multiyear projects in which CEE will either lead or participate. The Department announced recipients last week for its 2020 cycle of Conservation Applied Research and Development (CARD) grants, 总计4美元.22个项目，包括10个中东欧项目.
“明尼苏达州是能源政策的领导者,” said Minnesota Department of Commerce Temporary Commissioner Grace Arnold in an official statement. “这些赠款, 以及他们资助的研究项目, 是帮助我们取得进步的重要工具吗... 提高足球外围app哪个靠谱有很多好处, 从减少温室气体排放到创造就业机会.”
The newly awarded funds will support research to advance the energy efficiency field and help utilities bring enhanced energy savings to Minnesota consumers, often in partnership with like-minded organizations that complement CEE’s efforts to provide practical energy solutions for homes, 靠谱的外围竞猜app, 和社区.
通过设计, CARD项目量化节约, 成本效益, and field performance of advanced technologies; characterize market potential of products and technologies; and investigate and pilot innovative program strategies. Completed projects provide utilities with information to improve relevant program designs or create new programs within their Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) portfolios.
以下是2020年中国工程院所属CARD项目的完整清单. 在每种情况下, the grant total represents the full amount awarded by the Department of Commerce to that project lead, 由于项目支付的资金较少，导致分包商. 对于前七个项目, CEE is the project lead and official grantee; for the final three projects, 另一个组织是项目领导，CEE将作为分包商.
Note: CEE regularly self-funds a significant portion of its research budget to supplement competitive grants. 这10个项目, CEE and its research associates will pay for all research elements not covered by CARD, 平均约占每个项目总成本的10%.
