Energy Efficient Buildings Hub
The U.S. Department of Energy created the Energy Efficient Buildings Hub in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to promote regional job creation and economic growth while also improving the energy efficiency of commercial buildings. Established in 2011, the Energy Efficient Buildings Hub seeks to demonstrate how innovating technologies can help building owners and operators can save money by adopting energy efficient technologies and techniques. The goal is to enable the nation to cut energy use in the commercial buildings sector by 20% by 2020.
See the Energy Efficient Buildings Hub website for more information about the project and its work.
Activities at the Energy Efficient Buildings Hub include integrating technologies and systems, demonstrating and developing energy efficient technologies and practices, and experimenting with integrating technologies and operations.
