Easley seeks to improve energy efficiency in N.C. buildings
Gov. Mike Easley announced Tuesday that North Carolina has won a federal Department of Energy grant to develop and implement an innovative energy-efficient state code for building construction and renovation that will save consumers up to $40 million annually on utility bills.
The grant will be used to both develop a new set of requirements for building construction to make homes and offices more energy efficient and to provide training and technical assistance to improve the compliance with building codes.
I wonder if this means Guilford County Schools' decision to build green schools will be vindicated and make the school board's doubts about cost savings a moot point.
