A recent GSA report finds overwhelming energy savings from high-performance buildings.

A new executive order is short on details, leaving its real impact in question.
Roughly 5 percent of electrical energy is lost during transmission and distribution. Microgrids can save energy by minimizing those losses -- and they bring several additional benefits.
Our water and energy resources are deeply interconnected through pervasive, though often invisible, linkages. Every drop of water delivered to a household requires energy for water extraction, purification, transport and treatment after use.
