Heating and cooling a building seems like a straightforward task. But many buildings’ heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems waste energy and don’t pay any attention to indoor air quality.

Grant funds help Birmingham cool seven community centers without running up their energy bills.

Temperatures above 100 degrees mean that staying cool and being energy efficient is important to the small town of Oro Valley, Ariz. But finding the funds to do both can be a challenge. It was this heat – and the availability of a federal grant – that Bayer Vella, the town's conservation and sustainability manager, cited as a reason the city is forging ahead with energy retrofits and solar projects.

“Once we began researching possibilities, it didn’t take us long to realize that our best option was geothermal energy."

Five projects will help Dayton, Ohio residents save money and help them to conserve energy.
