Saving energy through energy efficiency improvements can cost less than generating, transmitting and distributing energy from power plants. Energy efficiency provides multiple economic and environmental benefits. Energy savings can reduce operating costs for local governments, freeing up resources for additional investments in energy efficiency and other priorities. Energy efficiency can also help to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security and independence and create jobs.
Local governments can promote energy efficiency in their jurisdictions by improving the efficiency of municipal facilities and operations and encouraging energy efficiency improvements in their residential, commercial and industrial sectors. With the help of local governments, many low income households are reducing housing costs and GHG emissions by improving their energy efficiency.
In this course, you are required to study the US EPA publication, “Energy Efficiency in Affordable Housing” provided as a pdf document as a part of this course. This document describes the steps utilities to develop and implement greenhouse gas reduction programs utilizing energy efficiency.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
