About this award

The City of Providence received a $3.6 million Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) on September 25, 2025. The award funds the upgrade of multiple recreation centers in Providence, Rhode Island into community heating and cooling centers designed to provide residents relief during extreme heat and cold events through September 24, 2028. The project incorporates state-of-the-art building infrastructure and equipment improvements to enhance energy efficiency, reduce energy load, and support the City of Providence's decarbonization ordinance goals.

The project deliverables include facility renovations at designated recreation centers equipped with advanced heating and cooling systems that serve dual purposes as both community amenities and climate resilience infrastructure. By retrofitting existing municipal facilities rather than constructing new buildings, the project demonstrates cost-effective decarbonization while addressing public health and equity concerns related to extreme weather vulnerability in an urban setting. The initiative aligns with EERE's strategic focus on Buildings Technologies and research-to-deployment activities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support net-zero emissions targets.
