Local Government Climate & Energy Strategy: Energy Efficiency in Local Government Operations

Credit: 4 hour

This online engineering PDH course describes how local governments can achieve multiple benefits by improving the energy efficiency of their new, existing, and renovated facilities and their day-to-day operations. Saving energy through energy efficiency improvements can be more cost effective than generating, transmitting, and distributing additional energy from power plants. Energy efficiency also helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and improves energy security and independence. This course described strategies for developing and implementing energy efficiency programs and gives actual examples of communities in which similar programs have been successfully introduced.
