This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to fund an administrator for a new American National Standards Institute, ANSI, accredited Superior Energy Performance Program, or SEP. The SEP program will provide industrial plants and commercial buildings with a roadmap for achieving continual improvement in energy efficiency. Once launched, SEP will provide a transparent, globally accepted system for validating energy intensity performance improvement and management practices. It is anticipated that the SEP certification program will launch nationally in 2012. The Department of Energy intends to fund a single awardee under this FOA to serve as the SEP Program Administrator for both the industrial and commercial sectors; however, if it becomes apparent during the review process that separate program administrators are appropriate, DOE may elect to separately fund program administrators for these two sectors. The intent of this funding is to support the SEP Program Administrator during the initial stages of promoting and implementing the program, with the ultimate aim of creating an independent, financially self-sustaining entity. The SEP Program Administrator will be responsible to launch and oversee the SEP program. Key tasks include (1) development of a self-sustaining business model; (2) promotion, education, and marketing; (3) management and administration; and (4) reporting and program evaluation.The full Funding Opportunity Announcement is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.
