The Better Buildings Initiative Progress Report comes as more individuals and organizations within the public and private sectors are searching for ways to improve energy efficiency. Earlier this month, U.S. mayors launched the new Mayors for 100% Clean Energy initiative that aims to push other cities and municipalities to shift to sustainable energy sources.
Individual cities are throwing their support behind clean energy promises. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel revealed plans to transition 900 city-owned buildings to 100% renewable energy sources by 2025 and, while Chicago is the largest city to make such a pledge, Atlanta is not far behind.
