Biden-Harris Administration Announces $530 Million for Building Energy Efficiency and Resilience to Cut Consumer Costs

 Today, as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, a key pillar of Bidenomics, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces up to $530 million in technical assistance competitive grants available for the adoption and implementation of the latest model energy codes, zero energy codes, building performance standards, and innovative codes that achieve equivalent energy savings to the latest model and zero energy codes. The Latest and Zero Building Energy Codes program is being administered through the DOE’s Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP), and is funded by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, the largest climate investment in history--which contains $1 billion to modernize America’s building stock through state and local action on building codes and save Americans money on their energy bills, while making buildings more resilient to extreme weather events.
