Better Buildings Challenge SWAP Season 2 premieres this November – the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy are about to get seriously energy efficient!

Sustainability is vital to efficient operations for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. Smart energy management is key to running energy efficient buildings at their academies and is relevant to higher education campuses around the nation. In the Better Buildings Challenge SWAP Season 2 (), brought to you by the U.S. Department of Energy, two branches of the U.S. military at the top of their game in energy efficiency — U.S. Air Force Academy and U.S. Naval Academy — swap energy teams to conduct an energy audit, uncover energy savings, and find solutions for energy wasting problems at each other's Academy campuses. Watch the three episode web series premiering November 30. See what the teams found and walk away with energy saving tips from the experts at the U.S. Air Force Academy and U.S. Naval Academy.

Commercial buildings and industrial plants account for 50% of our nation’s primary energy use and cost about $400 billion annually to power/operate. The Better Buildings Challenge is aimed at achieving the goal of doubling American energy productivity by 2030 while motivating corporate and public-sector leaders across the country to save energy through commitments and investments. More than 310 organizations are partnering with the Energy Department to achieve 20 percent portfolio-wide energy savings and share successful strategies that maximize efficiency over the next decade. Across all 50 states, partners have shared energy data for more than 34,000 properties and are reporting energy savings of 20 percent or more at 5,500 properties, and 10 percent or more at 12,600 properties.
