Building America

Building America is a research initiative by the U.S. Department of Energy focused on developing innovative, energy-efficient home construction methods. Its goal is to create houses that use less energy for heating, cooling, and operation, leading to lower utility costs and a reduced environmental impact. By testing and promoting advanced building techniques, materials, and technologies, Building America helps builders and homeowners create more sustainable, durable, and affordable homes. This research contributes to reducing overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with residential buildings across the country.
