The U.S. Department of Transportation just awarded Lima, Ohio, a Safe Streets for All grant to improve roadway safety! Lima is one of the communities that ACEEE has been supporting as a capacity builder with the Thriving Communities Program, which aims to help under-resourced communities access federal funding opportunities. Over half of the fatal car crashes in Lima in recent years involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The Safe Streets for All grant will allow the city to develop an action plan with strategies and projects to address roadway deaths and serious injuries.

For states and utilities seeking to reduce climate pollution through energy efficiency, there are many difficult decisions to make. These include how to set targets consistent with GHG reduction, how to measure progress toward those targets, and how to motivate these changes in the first place. Join us for a webinar as we explore a new report that can help us answer these questions. We’ll be joined by expert speakers who will share a variety of geographic, technical, and policy perspectives on how energy efficiency can play its part in decarbonizing society. Register⤵️ https://lnkd.in/eTJq6rxX
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Decarbonizing Energy: Setting and Measuring GHG Targets Through Utility Energy Efficiency Programs. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Big congrats to the cities and states earning this funding ⬇ supporting building energy code adoption and implementation. The new National Energy Codes Collaborative – led by ACEEE and funded by DOE – looks forward to facilitating collaboration among these awardees, previous awardees, and others working to implement updated energy codes and building performance standards across the United States. Technical advisory groups working through key state and local needs for effective implementation are underway, an Energy Code Fellows program will launch soon, and additional technical assistance resources are in development. More to come this fall as states and localities receive the critical support from DOE’s funding programs!
We are announcing selections for the first round of competitive funding under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Codes Program. SCEP has selected 19 applications for awards totaling over $240 million. https://bit.ly/3MmgwYJ These programs will adopt and implement the latest model codes, zero energy codes, or innovative codes including building performance standards. Interested in this opportunity? Applications for the second round of funding close on September 13, 2024 – DOE has removed the concept paper requirement for the second round of applications; all States and localities with the authority to adopt codes can still apply. Additional information is available on Infrastructure Exchange https://bit.ly/4g1AsxG under the Record Number DE-RD2-0003056. https://bit.ly/3K07f7c

How can we reduce the upfront and charging costs of #ElectricVehicles while still maintaining vehicle range? Efficiency. In fact, we found that by making average #EVs as efficient as their higher-performing peers, we can reduce the upfront cost of an EV by almost $5,000 and cut charging costs by nearly a third! “We have made huge gains in the efficiency of gasoline-powered cars, and we must do the same for EVs to lower costs and cut pollution," said ACEEE’s Peter Huether. “Manufacturing more affordable EVs that use less critical mineral material for batteries means we can produce more EVs and speed the transition away from cars that burn fossil fuels.” Learn more⤵️ https://lnkd.in/ehFYSfKp

Congratulations to Climate Mayors on launching their new commitment to electrify 50% of all city fleets by 2030 and to increase EV charging infrastructure across U.S cities by at least 500%. By working to #Electrify50, we will see reduced carbon emissions, more sustainable jobs, and healthier communities. With the U.S. transportation sector accounting for 29% of total emissions nationwide, achieving U.S. and global climate goals will require a transition to efficient electric transportation. Cities must be at the forefront of accelerating the transition to cleaner and greener vehicles and #ClimateMayors are leading the way.

Our Residential Retrofits for Energy Equity (#R2E2) initiative is teaming up with @ENERGYSTAR for a series of deep-dive workshops designed to support community-based organizations, small businesses, and local governments in deploying equitable, efficient electric home upgrades. Our upcoming workshop on August 20 will explore how we can use the newly released R2E2 playbook to design equitable home energy upgrade programs. The workshop will also have interactive group time so participants can ask practical questions about real programs and get answers from the experts themselves. Learn more and register⤵️
