Recovery Act logoAccording to the U.S. Department Of Energy, "The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program, funded for the first time by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) of 2009, represents a Presidential priority to deploy the cheapest, cleanest, and most reliable energy technologies we have—energy efficiency and conservation—across the country."

Your organization can purchase EnergyCAP® Energy Efficiency Software and the GreenQuest™ personal energy information tool using funds from the Energy Efficiency And Conservation Block Grant (EECBG). Our white paper tells you how.

The purpose of the EECBG is to:

  • Reduce fossil fuel emissions in a manner that is environmentally sustainable and, to the maximum extent practicable, maximizes benefits for local and regional communities
  • Reduce the total energy use of the eligible entities
  • Improve energy efficiency in the building sector, the transportation sector, and other appropriate sectors.

Together, EnergyCAP and GreenQuest form a community-wide energy information solution, managing the energy information of the local governing body as well as the local citizens. Energy information is important because it lays the foundation for energy efficiency. After all, you can’t manage what you don’t measure. And you can’t be efficient if you don’t manage.
