1. TITLE OF PROJECT PROPOSAL NUMBER Principal Investigator PI’s Organization ESTCP Selection Meeting DATE

2. Project Team NOTE: This template provides the recommended number of slides for each section of the presentation, which should take no more than 30 minutes. List the PI and co-performer(s) names and organization(s). Do not use this slide if there is only one organization involved in the project.

3. Problem Statement Clearly state the energy problem the technology demonstration will address and its relevance and importance to DoD. Identify the current approach (if one exists) to this problem and its shortcomings. NOTE: Limit to one slide only.

4. Technical Objectives Briefly describe the technical objective(s) of the project. NOTES: 1. Limit to one slide only. 2. This section is meant to orient the ESTCP Technical Committee on the overall objectives of the project.

5. Technology/Methodology Description Describe the technology or methodology in sufficient detail to provide an accurate and factual understanding of its theory, functionality, and operation. As appropriate, provide an overall schematic or flow diagram. Discuss how the technology or methodology is innovative. NOTE: Limit to two to three slides.

6. Technology/Methodology Maturity • Provide evidence that the technology or methodology is mature enough for demonstration. • Provide a brief description of any previous related demonstrations. • Discuss any additional development, design work required prior to demonstration. NOTE: Limit to two slides.

7. Technical Approach Provide an overview of how the project will address the technical objectives. Describe the proposed demonstration site(s). Highlight desired site characteristics for an optimal demonstration. Provide the performance objectives. Provide a broad overview of the test design. Discuss the scope of the proposed demonstration and relate the planned data collection to the performance objectives. Describe the planned data analyses the project team will use to assess the performance objectives. NOTE: This section should consist of several slides and should be the focus of the presentation.

8. Technical Risks Identify potential issues of concern and technical risks in taking the technology or methodology from its current phase of development to the proposed scale of the demonstration. Identify any assumptions that have been made that, if not realized, could impact the successful implementation of the project. Discuss planned risk management. If the demonstration is not at full scale, discuss any scale-up issues that may remain at the conclusion of a successful demonstration. NOTE: Limit to one slide only.

9. Related Efforts Provide information on any relationship to other similar projects. Identify funding sources for the related efforts. NOTE: Limit to one slide only.

10. Expected DoD Benefit Describe the expected benefit in terms of energy security, energy savings, and/or reduced cost. Provide realistic projections of the number of DoD sites or facilities where the technology or methodology can be deployed. Discuss how the information obtained from the demonstration will enable adoption of the technology or methodology throughout DoD. Discuss the life cycle cost and advantages over current approaches. Discuss the projected economic benefit of the project in terms of simple payback and savings-to-investment ratio. NOTE: Limit to one to two slides.

11. Schedule of Milestones Provide a project schedule with expected milestones and deliverables for the duration of the project in the form of a Gantt chart (example below). Include required ESTCP deliverables outlined in the full proposal instructions. * FR DP C&P DP – Demonstration Plan FR – Final Report C&P – Cost & Performance Report * Identify any decisions points.

12. Schedule of Milestones (continued) • Highlight any emissions, environmental, operational or other permits required and briefly address the permitting process. • Highlight any electrical or other interconnection agreements required and briefly address the process to develop and gain approval of the agreement(s). NOTE: Limit to previous slide plus one additional slide.

13. Technology Transition Describe the method by which the technology or methodology will be transitioned to end user(s) or commercialized. Describe any proposed guidance documents that will assist in future implementation (i.e., guidance, design, and/or protocol documents). Explicitly identify potential first DoD users and follow-on implementation. Identify any DoD or service programs that are responsible for technology or methodology implementation or relevant requirements or regulations that will affect transition. Address any potential constraints imposed by the use of proprietary systems. NOTE: Limit to one to two slides.

14. Cost Estimate • Provide a table that summarizes how you expect to execute ESTCP funds by performer by project year, rounded to the nearest dollar (in accordance with the cost spreadsheets templates).

15. Project Leveraged Funding • Provide a table that delineates all leveraged funding for the project for each fiscal year. This should include direct funding support and in-kind support. If a performer is providing support (for example, XYZ Co. is receiving ESTCP funds but also providing in-kind support), then that should be indicated. * Direct Funding Support ** In-Kind Support
