Join the USGBC NFC Chapter as we welcome Kristi Wamstad-Evans, reEnergize Program Director at City of Omaha, for an update on the re-Energize Program.

Funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s BetterBuildings Program, the reEnergize Program is a collaborative effort between the cities of Omaha and Lincoln to build energy smart communities. Our plan is to work with highly qualified contractors to provide professional energy evaluations on a total of 180 commercial and nonprofit buildings and complete whole-home performance energy upgrades on 2,100 residences between January 2011 and May 2013.

Over the three-year span of the grant, we intend to grow the reEnergize Program to allow owners of all building types access to a streamlined process, financing opportunities, and a qualified workforce for energy-efficiency services. With this opportunity, the reEnergize Program will serve as a catalyst, intending to build consumer demand and contractor supply for energy-saving building improvements and to reduce energy use in local buildings.
