Decarbonize: For projects that radically reduce emissions for a zero-carbon built environment Democratize: For projects that provide equitable wellness in a resilient, living environment Digitalize: For projects that connect buildings, distributed energy resources, people, and organizations to smart analytics and critical energy information IMPEL+ offers on-ramps to public and private pipelines offering funding and access that can lead to commercialization.
To date, over half of IMPEL+ innovators have been women WhatsApp Number Database or people of color, and applications come from across the country. Every year, IMPEL+ innovators make connections that lead to grants, awards, and invitations to participate in next-step accelerators. These are a few of the game-changing innovations from the 2021 cohort that IMPEL+ has helped springboard toward commercialization: Josh Cable’s Inventwood was a part of a three-member team that received a $1.6 million award under the BTO BENEFIT FOA this August. Inventwood also received $500,000 from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to make lightweight 3D wood honeycomb structures that can be manufactured at one-fourteenth the cost and 10% of the CO2 emissions of their aluminum equivalents.
Tanya Barham received a $206,000 DOE SBIR Phase I grant to develop machine-learning-based interface design and workflow automation that enables dramatic energy savings in commercial buildings. Tanya and her team received additional funding under a BTO CRADA award to work with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the company to develop an affordable control solution for grid responsiveness, reducing greenhouse gas and utility cost, and rapid adoption in the marketplace. Bilal Sher of New York University EASEEbot team won $200,000 in Phase 1 of the American-Made Challenges’ E-ROBOT Prize. EASEEbot can fly around buildings and auto-generate a 3D model using advanced reconstruction as a non-invasive solution to locate and document moisture intrusion, thermal bridges, and air leaks in buildings. Natalia Mykhaylova’s WeavAir won a Hype Sports Innovation Award for their sensor-enabled technology, which helps fitness centers and stadiums improve air quality while saving energy and operating costs.
