Ten New US Cities Join City Energy Project to Improve Building Efficiency
Now comprising 20 cities, by 2030 the project could save more than $1.5 billion annually
NEW YORK and WASHINGTON — Mayors from 10 additional U.S. cities announced that they are joining the City Energy Project, a united effort to address their largest source of energy use and climate pollution: buildings. By the year 2030, the 20 participating cities have the potential to save more than $1.5 billion annually in energy bills and reduce carbon pollution by more than 9.6 million metric tons.
A joint project of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT), the City Energy Project is working to create healthier, more prosperous American cities by making buildings more energy efficient, boosting local economies, and reducing harmful pollution.
