EERE Communication Standards & Guidelines

The Communication Standards website includes all of the requirements and best practices for creating publications, exhibits, and websites for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). We walk you through every requirement for every EERE product, whether it's required by the federal government, the Department of Energy, or EERE's Communications and Outreach.

If you've never used this site before, you can contact the Communications Standards Webmaster for a tour.

Read about how to make any type of print product, from fact sheets and reports to PowerPoint presentations.

Learn about the design and layout requirements for EERE's exhibits.

Check out everything you need to know about planning, writing, coding, and testing your websites.
