Government & Non-profit

Government agencies spend more than $10 billion a year on energy to provide public services and meet constituent needs. Local governments grapple with tightening budgets, but nearly one-third of the energy used to run typical government buildings goes to waste. EPA provides local governments a proven energy management strategy and tools to save energy and money and demonstrate their environmental leadership.

For any local government looking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within its jurisdiction, it is imperative that officials pay special attention to the buildings in the community. Opportunities to reduce the emissions in buildings are significant, since as much as 30 percent of the energy consumed in commercial buildings is often used unnecessarily or inefficiently.

Government and non-profit customers have received incentives up to $ 3,895,917
