Residential Retrofits for Energy Equity (R2E2) is hosting a series of training webinars for potential applicants to the Department of Energy’s Building Upgrade Prize (Buildings UP). The prize is awarding over $22 million in cash prizes and technical assistance to teams with winning ideas to accelerate equitable energy efficiency and building electrification […] By Mark Rodeffer, ACEEE Press Secretary Many U.S. households will pay significantly more for home heating costs—sometimes hundreds of dollars more—this winter. The burden falls disproportionately to low-income and Black, Hispanic, and Native American households, which pay a much larger share of their income on energy bills. Amid the rising costs, policymakers, regulators, […] By Ben Jennings, Research Assistant, Transportation Program This blog post is the second in a series taking a closer look at the findings of the 2021 City Clean Energy Scorecard. An earlier post looked at cities’ progress on energy equity. Few cities have adequately enabled the use of efficient, low-carbon modes of transportation, according […] Date and time: Thursday, February 24, 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM ET As states and utilities set ambitious decarbonization goals, the case for leveraging demand-side measures to reduce emissions is stronger than ever.

A Biden administration proposal to set long-overdue efficiency standards for manufactured homes would yield some significant energy and carbon savings, but it risks allowing manufacturers to continue producing many inefficient models, leaving residents—including many low-income households—with high energy costs. Energy efficiency requirements for manufactured homes (sometimes called mobile homes) have not been updated […] By Wendy Koch, Senior Director, Marketing & Communications During the COVID-19 pandemic, many low- to moderate-income households have struggled to pay their energy bills, as millions have lost critical income and many face higher utility bills because of increased time spent at home. Their homes, in particular, would benefit from energy-saving upgrades to reduce […]
Biden’s Plan Needs These Bold Measures to Better Tackle the Climate Crisis By Steven Nadel, Executive Director As we recently noted, President Joe Biden’s proposed jobs and infrastructure plan includes unprecedented investments to address climate change, in part through energy efficiency. So far, the proposal is high level, with […] Sets Appliance Efficiency Standards and Sets Path for Strong Building Codes In a far-reaching climate bill scheduled to be signed today, Massachusetts commits to halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, while embracing new energy-saving policies to help achieve the targets. The law sets efficiency standards for 17 residential […]
Texas Blackouts Offer a Lesson for Reducing Dangerous Spikes in Energy Demand By Steven Nadel, Executive Director The historic winter storm across the central United States brought a fierce chill into the homes of millions of Texans who lost electric power.
