To meet the challenge of the climate crisis, cities need to improve the energy efficiency of all buildings, including small buildings like single-family homes and owner-occupied buildings with just a few housing units. Cities must also take ambitious action to advance a clean energy future in a way that reaches all residents, particularly those living in communities that have been chronically underserved, underinvested, and under-resourced. This guide discusses policy and program strategies that cities can pursue to achieve these goals. Drawing from the experience of local governments, the guide shares lessons and best practices that can support successful and equitable outcomes.

The commonwealth spends almost $11 billion a year buying energy from out of state. Mass Save lowers bills and keeps money at home.
Utility energy efficiency programs have increased investment in low-income households, but significant gaps remain. This report examines spending and savings trends across 48 major U.S. utilities, identifies barriers to expanding low-income programs and highlights policies and program strategies that can improve energy affordability and equitable access to efficiency upgrades.
The United States faces interlocking energy challenges: rising home energy bills and gasoline prices; new demand for electricity from data centers and other loads; high greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Now, a new era of energy efficiency progress in our buildings, transportation, and industry is needed to meet this moment. This wide-ranging study finds a massive opportunity.
The BUILD America 250 Act, advanced by the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, would eliminate or weaken many programs that help lower transportation …
