Alliance praises $4 billion in energy-saving building upgrades

摘要

The Alliance to Save Energy applauded the White House announcement that the federal government and private sector are moving forward with energy efficiency upgrades to a broad swath of public- and private-sector buildings. Together, residential and commercial buildings account for 40% of all U.S. energy consumed. The president's announcement will make a large dent in energy use in non-residential buildings, helping them become at least 20% more efficient by 2020.
