EPA GRANT PROMOTES ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN HOMES
Dave Ryan 202-564-7827 / ryan.dave@epa.gov
EPA has awarded a grant of $90,850 to the Energy Efficient Building Association (EEBA) to promote energy efficiency in residential homes.
This is the sixth year that EPA has supported EEBA in their mission to educate builders in energy efficient construction and best management practices for reducing energy consumption in homes. EEBA will use this grant to reach approximately 15,000 industry professionals by supporting their annual builder conference, distributing climate-specific and other best practices builder guides, and recognizing outstanding builders who use energy efficient building practices.
EEBA has sponsored international conferences in the United States and Canada, and regional workshops on building science, resource efficiency, construction quality, and indoor environmental quality. EEBA’s goal to reduce energy consumption in residential buildings dovetails with EPA’s Energy Star Program for New and Existing Homes.
Education materials produced under this grant will benefit homebuilders with greater access to state-of-the-art energy efficient building science information, market differentiation, and reduced customer call-backs. Since energy efficient homes can help homeowners save money each year, buyers of energy efficient homes will benefit through decreased utility bills and higher quality homes.
