Energy efficiency programs are missing out on the untapped savings potential of multifamily buildings. While many utility programs offer direct installation measures or in-unit kits to multifamily residents, they rarely implement comprehensive energy-efficiency strategies such as equipment or building system upgrades. Building on ACEEE’s 2020 multifamily energy savings potential analysis, this brief profiles four multifamily utility efficiency programs and the successful approaches they’ve used to achieve high savings in the South, West, Midwest, and Northeast regions of the United States. The highlighted programs are tapping regional energy savings opportunities, implementing strategies to reach deeper savings, and encouraging more comprehensive energy-saving measures.
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 …
