This $9,000,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117) aims to support the City of Milwaukee in three key areas:

  1. Implementing and operationalizing a building energy benchmarking program for commercial and municipal buildings, including launching a commercial buildings help desk and resource center.

  2. Developing and adopting a building performance standard (BPS) ordinance that will cover large commercial and multifamily buildings in the city, with a focus on engaging the community and building workforce capacity to meet the new standards.

  3. Operationalizing the BPS ordinance, assisting buildings in compliance, and continuing to expand workforce development efforts to support the city's decarbonization and job creation goals.

The overall objectives are to reduce energy use in Milwaukee's building stock, create hundreds to thousands of green jobs focused on underserved communities, and establish an effective and equitable BPS ordinance by the project's end in December 2025.
