Accelerating Energy Efficiency in Homes and Buildings

 

Reducing electricity and gas in homes and buildings will help reduce our GHG emissions, lower energy bills, and improve indoor and outdoor air quality. 

Energy efficiency improvements like weatherization, roof and window repairs help conserve energy and keep buildings warm in winter and cool in summer.
