U.S. Department of Energy - Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Building Technologies Program
Program Plans, Implementation, and Results
In partnership with the private sector, state and local governments, national laboratories, and universities, the Building Technologies Program works to improve the efficiency of buildings and the equipment, components, and systems within them. The program supports research and development (R&D) activities and provides tools, guidelines, training, and access to technical and financial resources.
