Energy Efficiency

With the growing popularity of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and the Energy Star Rating from the Environmental Protection Agency, energy efficiency is the new focus to building operations and the way we conduct business. Not only is conserving energy crucial to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is the easiest and smartest way to save on operating expenses.

The Central Florida Energy Efficiency Alliance (CFEEA) was established in July 2009 by a diverse group of stakeholders with a focus on sustainability to encourage energy efficiency and sustainability in the commercial sector. Through the efforts of the Central Florida Energy Efficiency Alliance (CFEEA) building and business owners can benefit from its various outreach and FREE energy efficiency educational workshops.

How to get started
