U.S. Department of Energy Selects Envision Charlotte for $500,000 Grant
Envision Charlotte has been selected as the recipient of a $500,000 grant by the United States Department of Energy. The grant is part of a $6 million investment as part of the Administration’s effort to cut energy waste in the nation’s buildings and double energy productivity by 2030. Eight total projects – each designed to accelerate energy efficiency to help businesses and communities save money, create jobs, and reduce pollution – were awarded grants.
Once awarded, the grant will allow Envision Charlotte to expand its energy-saving initiatives to additional buildings within the Charlotte area. The organization will also use the grant to incorporate the Energy Department’s Advanced Energy Retrofit Guides, Better Buildings Workforce Guidelines, and Commercial Building Energy Asset Score, used in achieving substantial energy savings. Envision Charlotte will administer the grant in partnership with UNC Charlotte’s Center for Sustainably Integrated Buildings and Sites (SIBS), the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), Charlotte Center City Partners and the City of Charlotte.
