reEnergize Program
Funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s BetterBuildings Program, the reEnergize Program is a collaborative effort between the cities of Omaha and Lincoln to build energy smart communities. Our plan is to work with highly qualified contractors to provide professional energy evaluations on a total of 180 commercial and nonprofit buildings and complete whole-home performance energy upgrades on 2,100 residences between January 2011 and May 2013.
Over the three-year span of the grant, we intend to grow the reEnergize Program to allow owners of all building types access to a streamlined process, financing opportunities, and a qualified workforce for energy-efficiency services. With this opportunity, the reEnergize Program will serve as a catalyst, intending to build consumer demand and contractor supply for energy-saving building improvements and to reduce energy use in local buildings.
Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s BetterBuildings Program for more information about this national initative and the grant that is helping provide seed funding for this endeavor.
