The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has been awarded a $900,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117). The funding will support the "Wisconsin Building Training and Assessment Center (WBTAC)" project, with a period of performance from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026. Through this initiative, UWM will deliver a range of activities focused on advancing energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and improved building performance standards across residential, commercial, and public sectors in Wisconsin. Key project elements include workforce training programs, technical assistance for stakeholders, and implementation of new energy efficiency technologies and building decarbonization strategies. The Cooperative Agreement funding will enable UWM to leverage its expertise in environmental science, engineering, and building-related research to support the DOE's broader objectives of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable infrastructure development.
