The General Services Administration (GSA) and Department of Energy will test 17 emerging technologies to improve energy efficiency in government buildings. The federal government aims to achieve net-zero emissions in federal buildings by 2045 through their Green Proving Ground program. The GSA and DOE will allocate $9.6 million to install and evaluate new energy-resilient technologies in their real estate portfolio. Since 2011, the program has implemented 23 energy-saving technologies across more than a third of GSA’s portfolio, reducing carbon emissions by 116,000 tons and saving $28 million per year.
