Capacity Building Projects

GEDI works closely with select local government economic development agencies to develop innovative strategies to support green sectors of the economy. Our work has focused on the energy services sector in commercial buildings. We have helped five local government partners develop regional strategies to grow stronger energy management in commercial buildings. We hope that by illustrating strategies to support the energy efficiency sector, we can illustrate how economic development professionals around the country can move towards supporting sectors that reap economic, environmental and social benefits for their communities.
