Better Buildings is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) designed to improve the lives of the American people by driving leadership in energy innovation. Through Better Buildings, DOE partners with leaders in the public and private sectors to make the nation’s homes, commercial buildings, and industrial plants more energy-efficient by accelerating investment and sharing successful best practices.
DOE and its partners are exploring new strategies and solutions in four key areas that are deemed essential to building a more efficient and cost-effective energy future.
- Market Development. Showing what’s possible, setting aggressive portfolio-wide goals, and adopting cutting-edge technologies.
- Better Information. Proven models support smarter decisions, which in turn leads to deeper energy and cost savings.
- Innovation and Emerging Technologies. Key to building a stronger economy utilizing clean energy.
- Workforce Development. Essential to advance the American job force in step with technological progress.
