The Department of Energy (DOE) recently launched its Buildings Upgrade Prize, an exciting new opportunity for up to 60 cross-sectoral teams to win cash prizes of $200,000-$400,000 plus technical assistance to support the transformation of existing buildings with energy efficiency upgrades and clean energy.
Join us for an informational session to learn more about the prize and how you can take advantage of this opportunity. We will discuss the prize in detail, including the Equity-Centered Innovation Track, as well as training and technical assistance opportunities that are available.
The session is hosted by Residential Retrofits for Energy Equity (R2E2), which is providing training and capacity building for applicants to the Buildings Upgrade Prize. A partnership of ACEEE, Elevate, Emerald Cities Collaborative, and HR&A Advisors, R2E2 works to advance affordable housing energy upgrades to lower energy bills and GHG emissions while advancing racial equity, local workforce development, and health goals.
We are hosting two informational sessions to allow for flexibility with attendees’ schedules. Both sessions are identical in the content offered, so you can choose to attend a training on whichever date works best for you. Spanish language interpretation will be provided during the March 9th session.
March 7, 1:00pm-2:00pm ET
March 9, 12:00pm-1:00pm ET
