DOE Invests $14 Million to Increase Energy Efficiency of US Homes and Buildings
Small-medium building sector and homebuilders are under-resourced when it comes to energy efficiency
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $14 million in funding for projects to significantly increase the efficiency of U.S. homes and buildings. These projects are designed to cut energy costs while leading to greater demand for new building products and technologies.
“The small-medium commercial sector and homebuilding industry are critical to the American economy, but under-resourced when it comes to energy efficiency,” said Kathleen Hogan, deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency. “These efficiency solutions will allow us to build better, healthier homes and significantly improve our nation’s existing building stock, cutting energy bills for American consumers and businesses.”
