Description (excerpt):
We are at a critical crossroads in our nation’s use of energy. Our need to advance clean, reliable energy solutions that allow for strong economic growth is paramount. Through the Better Buildings Initiative, DOE partners with hundreds of leading organizations to advance and demonstrate realworld solutions. These solutions showcase our collective success in driving down costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy independence, and fostering workforce development.
Through the Better Buildings Initiative, DOE works with organizations across the nation to improve buildings and manufacturing plants. The cumulative result of this work is reported below and demonstrates the remarkable impacts being made by leading organizations to increase energy and water efficiency while driving down GHG emissions and waste. For example, now in its second year of reporting, the more than 225 partners in the Better Climate Challenge are succeeding in reducing their scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions. This work increases sustainable practices across the nation while uplifting the American workforce.
