DOE Funds Projects to Increase Building Energy Efficiency

WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded more than $76 million in stimulus funding to support advanced energy-efficient building technology projects and training programs for commercial building operators, auditors and technicians. The funding will be split among 58 projects to make buildings more energy efficient and cost-effective. More than $22 million will go to net zero energy building projects; another $22 million to develop improvements in envelope and window technologies to improve energy efficiency; and nearly $6 million will go to projects to improve analysis, design and technical tools.Read more
