| U.S. Department of Energy Announces Better Buildings Initiative Progress Report, Highlights Nearly $22 Billion in Energy Savings | | | The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today published the"2024 Better Buildings Initiative Progress Report," which highlights the achievements of DOE's Better Buildings public and private sector partners as they decarbonize and increase the energy efficiency of the nation's buildings, manufacturing plants, and homes. The report shows that program partners—including 28 Fortune 100 companies and more than 90 state and local governments—have collectively saved nearly $22 billion through efficiency improvements and cut harmful greenhouse gas emissions by more than 220 million metric tons since 2011, an amount roughly equivalent to combined annual emissions of 29 million homes. Through the Better Buildings Initiative, DOE is helping accelerate cost-effective decarbonization solutions across America's commercial, industrial, and residential sectors—supporting the Biden-Harris Administration's whole-of-government approach to lowering energy costs for American families and businesses while tackling the climate crisis. "DOE's Better Buildings Initiative is helping organizations of all sizes from every corner of the country and every sector of the economy lower energy costs and save money—to the tune of $22 billion," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. "Under President Biden and Vice President Harris' leadership, DOE will continue building the strong public-private sector partnerships we need to tackle the climate crisis and secure our clean energy future." | | | |
