First Fuel In order to address the energy and environmental challenges the United States faces, energy consumption in buildings must be addressed. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration reports that building energy use represents 70% of U.S. electricity consumption and is the nation’s largest source of carbon emissions (39%). Estimates are that the U.S. could cost-effectively save about 30% of U.S. building energy use today through improved efficiency. It is probably reasonable to expect that new building energy use could be reduced by at least 60% by 2030 and that existing building energy use could be reduced by at least 40% by that time. That would free up about 21% (0.85 trillion kWh/y) of 2006 electric energy use by 2020 and 35% (1.4 trillion kWh/y) by 2030. • Source - RESNET
