WASHINGTON, DC — The Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding $1.989 million to 22 states to update and implement building energy codes, to help save consumers millions of dollars in energy bills and increase national energy security.
“These grants will enable states to improve the energy efficiency of new and renovated buildings by upgrading building codes, and will provide energy code training to more than 2,000 architects, builders, code officials, and engineers,” Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham said.
