DOE Announces Additional Technical Assistance Program Webinars for Fall 2010
October 05, 2010
The U.S. Department of Energy today announced additions to its series of Technical Assistance Program (TAP) Webinars scheduled for Fall 2010. These Webinars support the management of projects funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through DOE's State Energy Program (SEP) and Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG). The TAP Webinar series continues this month with sessions that will address key issues and challenges that state, local, and tribal energy practitioners may face in implementing their projects and programs, including:
- Structuring incentives to effectively drive demand for residential retrofits
- Tips and tools for promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in your community
- Maximizing energy savings in buildings by using energy management systems
- Tracking data and developing savings estimates for energy efficiency projects
The Technical Assistance Program provides states, cities, and tribes with the tools and resources needed to implement successful, sustainable renewable energy projects and deploy cost-effective, clean, and reliable energy-saving technologies in buildings and infrastructure nationwide.
Announced in July, TAP—which is jointly-funded with EECBG and SEP Recovery Act funds—accelerates project execution, improves program performance, and increases the return on Recovery Act investments. This effort is another way that the Department is creating green jobs, making homes and businesses more energy efficient, and installing renewable energy systems across America.
