  1. These are appropriated amounts. Actual spending is reduced mostly by a mandated transfer of 2.65% of extramural R&D funds for SBIR/STTR. Some funding levels are adjusted to reflect current organization and categories.
  2. Some funding levels were determined by DOE. Bill did specify $33 million for the Commercial Buildings Initiative.
  3. Funds may be spent beyond FY09. Also includes $951million in unallocated funds for the EERE program.
  4. Allows use of $22 million for a Buildings Energy Innovation Hub if DOE uses stimulus funds, rather than newly appropriated funds, for a National Renewable Energy Laboratory facilities project.
