Why useCrowdsourcingandCo-CreationforInnovation?
“While only a fraction of Americans are formally trained as professional scientists and engineers,
everyone can contribute to science, engineering, and technology through open science
and innovation approaches, such as citizen science and crowdsourcing projects.” – White
House blog on Sep 30,2015

Unique Technical Expertise:• Focused Energy Efficiency • Support funneling ideas• 3rd party vetting of ideas• Support developing the
ideas into the market
Limited Risk• Industry partner
investment till the idea prove feasible is limited
Cost Sharing:• One platform servicing
multiple industry players• Sharing resources makes
crowdsourcing cost effective
Exposure to End-Users• Input from a wide user
network

A.O.SmithCallforInnovationWinner
StatusandNextSteps
Ø Usinga50gallonwaterheater,deliveranequivalentamountofhotwaterasonewitha65or80gallontank,withoutincreasingwaterstoragetemperature
Ø Idea/Solution: Embed the cold water dip tube in a phase change material (PCM) inside the tank so that as cold water flows down the dip tube it absorbs heat stored in the PCM, thus increasing the hot water supplied by the water heater.
Ø About the winner: Benjamin’s background is residential energy efficiency.
Thewinner
BenjaminKnoppØ $5,000 cash award from A.O. SmithØ NDAs are signed and patent is pendingØ Water Heater supplied by A.O. Smith for the prototypeØ $20K in-kind technical support from ORNLØ Monthly meetings targeting finalizing the prototype by early 2017
TheChallenge
“The problem is that very few inventors are successful and it is difficult to know where to begin. As an individual, JUMP is the platform I was looking for to express my creativity and innovate with
collaborators. ” Benjamin Knopp

CLEAResult CallforInnovationWinner
StatusandNextSteps
Ø Identifywaystoleveragetheopen,programmable,andsensor-richplatformthatmodernsmartphonesoffertoenhancethewaywelive,manage,andinteractwithourhomestodayandinthefuture.
• Idea/Solution: Combine commercially available IR attachment for smart phones with the power of crowdsourcing through K12 schools to create a giant database of IR images, dubbed “Thermographic Information System (TIS).” The SmartIR app leverages sensor-based intelligence and immersive thermal vision to guide students to collect and interpret high-quality data. The thermal images and corresponding temperature data can be used to uncover anomalies to assess the state of residential energy efficiency and identify potential upgrades.
Ø About the winner: Xie’s background is in computational science research.
Thewinner
CharlesXie
Ø $3,000 cash award from CLEAResultØ Mentorship with CLEAResult to commercialize the concept and
SmartIR app
TheChallenge
“We are honored to be part of DOE's JUMP Challenge and are grateful that DOE is providing this great platform to unconventional players like us who would otherwise have little visibility to the
industry. The JUMP platform is a perfect incubator of ideas, especially for those who are thinking outside the box”

Ø Identifynearcommercializationornewlycommercializedinnovativeenergysavingtechnologiesthatarecurrentlyunderutilizedinthefederalbuildingspace.
Ø Idea/Solution: A High-Efficiency Dehumidification System (HEDS), which has shown significant energy savings in dehumidification.
Ø About the winner: Scott is a small business owner who developed HEDS in 2007. In the early 2000’s he worked on energy efficiency improvement projects with the Navy and he started noticing mold, which inspired his developing HEDS.
Ø $50K for ORNL to test and validate the technologyØ Data to be collected in summer of 2017

JUMP Community Engagement
▪ Blogs, newsletters, social media through DOE and other partners network
▪ Favor, Favor, and Favor
Peak Innovators Interest
Get Innovators Engaged
Keep Innovators Engaged
Main activities
▪ Webinars on each Call. Posted recording and followed-up with participants
▪ In-Person JUMPathons▪ Transparency with
website (judges, timelines, public and private submissions)
▪ Streamlined newsletters (open rate 3 times fold when minimized the number of news feature)
▪ Transparency with Calls results
▪ Variety and Diversity among calls (13 Calls)
▪ Hot line with a 24 hours response rate
21
JUMP Community Engagement
▪ We will run out of favors. Key is to engage Innovators in the JUMP community.
▪ Reduce barriers and simplify joining
▪ Featuring success stories makes it real
▪ Cash or valuable in-kind contribution is crucial to attract quality ideas
Peak Innovators Interest
Get Innovators Engaged
Keep Innovators Engaged
Lessons Learned
▪ Easy to get innovators to the website. Hard to keep them there. Studying the website to better understand pattern
▪ Customizing JUMPathons to better meet innovators need
▪ Mini-JUMPathons▪ JUMPathons on
the go
▪ A well planned communication plan goes a long way
▪ Quality and quantity of messages.
• Optimum duration for keeping a Call for Innovation open is 3 months, ideas frequency drop thereafter
22
Overcoming Resistance to Open Innovation
Internal • Leadership committed to open Innovation, a pilot efforts
was enabled. • Technical judges were engaged as judges and they were
impressed by the quality of ideas• Today, we have industry stakeholders approaching
technical staff about crowdsourcing topics. External • Allowing private submissions to engage conservative
innovators. Winners are encouraged to make their ideas public.
• Clearly state and reiterate the vision of the program. Detail IP rights in the FAQs and in all public encounters.
23
Moderating, Judging, and Moving the Idea Forward
▪ Reviewing and approving all ideas and comments within 1 business day (non-technical)
▪ Technical team comment on ideas and ask clarifying questions
▪ Created an “Other” forum for valid but irrelevant ideas
Moderating Judging T2M
Main activities
▪ Structured process with five criterions and a weighted average calculation methodology to identify a short list of finalists
▪ A qualitative discussion between the judges to identify the winners
• Collaboration between the winner, Lab technical advisor, and industry partners to move the technology forward. It’s a customized process
• Partnerships with Accelerators programs.
24
Moderating, Judging, and Moving the Idea Forward
▪ Clarify expectations on processes with Industry Partners
▪ Innovative ideas are more likely to come from outside the specific industry but from analogues industries.
Moderating Judging T2M
Lessons Learned
§ Assuming the submitter is interested in pursuing the idea forward is a flawed assumption. Layer of personal interview with finalist will be added in future efforts. Interviews will also check for language proficiency
§ Winners lack specific industry knowledge and rely on the labs and industry partners to help fill the knowledge gap
§ Setting expectations on the Partner’s role in advancing idea forward is crucial
§ A structured process to graduate the ideas, access to funds, connections, and accelerator programs is crucial
