Producing beer requires energy – but many breweries are using efficient technologies and practices to reduce costs and environmental impact while still making quality brews.

Although there are multiple initiatives underway to establish a definition of zero energy buildings, there is no recognized consensus standard that determines if a building is a zero energy building. A new ASHRAE standard could help resolve this issue and bring the industry into agreement.

Investing in efficiency and sustainability have made Minneapolis’s U.S. Bank Stadium a leader – and hopefully an inspiration for new stadiums across the country.

The administration’s new budget proposal suggests funding energy efficiency in part through “unobligated balances” – deferring money that Congress directed it to spend already.
Understanding the impacts of load flexibility and prioritizing energy efficiency, along with advancing cutting-edge technologies to enhance grid modernization, are critical for improving building load flexibility to reduce peak demand. DOE can maximize these exciting benefits of load flexibility...
In some buildings, direct current power from on-site solar panels or batteries is converted to alternating current -- and then back again -- causing energy waste. A new initiative seeks to encourage integrating direct current power systems in buildings to avoid those losses.
