U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced awards totaling more
than $76 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act. Fourteen companies in the building envelope and windows category
will receive awards, which will support advanced energy-efficient
building technology projects and the development of training programs
for commercial building equipment technicians, building operators,
and energy auditors.
According to the DOE announcement, the 58 projects selected will
help make the nation's buildings more energy efficient and cost-effective.
They will also support programs to train workers to service and
operate new and existing buildings, to develop and deploy best practices
resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and to establish a
green workforce with technical expertise to reduce energy costs
for consumers.
The building envelope and windows segment is receiving $22,807,255
total federal share. The funding will go toward 14 projects that
focus on improving the energy efficiency of residential and commercial
buildings through technology advances in windows and envelope components,
necessary to achieve significant energy savings and performance.
