Initiative Partners

The Better Buildings & Better Plants Initiative is a voluntary market leadership program for businesses, manufacturers, hospitals, cities, states, universities, and school districts to partner with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to achieve energy and cost savings, reduce waste, and share proven solutions. Partners showcase both the strategies they implement and the results they achieve, helping to spur billions of dollars in new investments and savings across buildings and plants. Join today!
