Rebuild America
Rebuild America is a network of community-based partnerships across the nation that are committed to saving energy, improving building performance, easing air pollution through reduced energy demand, and enhancing the quality of life through energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies.
Rebuild America was created by the U.S. Department of Energy in 1994. Since then, the program has served as a mechanism for revitalization and job creation in many U.S. communities. Rebuild America now resides in DOE's Building Technologies Program and is currently being reinvented.
Rebuild America is working in your state and community to connect people, resources, ideas and practices for energy solutions to community needs. Using an integrated systems approach to Schools, Housing, Public and Commercial Buildings, Factories, Vehicles and Electricity Transmission Systems, we are helping to:
- Increase the number of high performance buildings
- Implement energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements
- Provide technical assistance tools, resources and services
What Are Partnerships Doing
As a Rebuild America partnership, community members actively decide what is done to improve their community and how it is done. With help from Rebuild America, communities:
- Choose buildings to improve
- Select project team
- Set goals
- Identify technologies and practices to apply
- Determine financing
- Make improvements
- Report findings and results
