Energy Efficient Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
Energy Future Grant (EFG)

The City of Indianapolis has been awarded $787,040 to enhance energy efficiency in city-owned buildings. Key projects include LED lighting retrofits to reduce energy consumption and costs.

Program Objectives:

  • Establish an Energy Manager and an internal Energy Team to build capacity for energy initiatives.
  • Implement an energy management software system to monitor and improve efficiency across the City’s municipal building portfolio.
  • Partner with the DOE Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at Purdue University Indianapolis to conduct ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Audits on up to 200 municipal buildings.

In addition, Indianapolis was awarded $500,000 in April through the competitive Energy Future Grants Program. This 18-month planning grant will bring together a network of seven Indiana cities to develop a statewide Building Innovation Hub.

This collaborative effort is a crucial step in reducing carbon emissions across Indiana. By providing resources, expertise, and support, the Hub will help create a more energy-efficient building sector, benefiting Hoosier cities and fostering a sustainable energy future.
