Georgia has begun both the Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) programs to bring down the cost of energy-efficiency improvements and clean energy upgrades.

The Energy Manager solution monitors asset energy use in real time, allowing manufacturers to gain deeper insight into energy consumption and operating costs, lowering CO₂ emissions and maximizing energy and operational efficiency, a press release from Emerson said.

The heat data centers generate can be captured and repurposed to provide heating for nearby buildings or communities, Vikas Anand of Danfoss tells ES NEWS.

Colorado’s total allocation for both Home Energy Rebates programs is more than $70 million.

Initially, Arizona’s Efficiency Arizona program, in partnership with community action agencies, will focus on providing heat pumps through an a/c replacement program that addresses heat-relief emergencies and/or financial hardships.

Michigan’s share of the federal Home Efficiency Rebates funding totals nearly $211 million.

“This research underscores the need to retrofit homes with air sealing and insulation, since almost nine out of 10 homes are under-insulated,” said Curt Rich, president and CEO of the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association.
