Building Technologies Information

Buildings shelter nearly everything we do—we work, live, learn, govern, heal, worship, and play in buildings—and they require enormous energy resources. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, homes and commercial buildings use nearly three quarters of the electricity in the United States. Opportunities abound for reducing the huge amount of energy consumed by buildings but discovering those opportunities means uncovering huge amounts of data and information. The Building Technologies Information Gateway is your single source of freely accessible information on energy.
