Energy Efficient Buildings (EEB) Hub
The Energy Efficient Buildings (EEB) Hub is a U.S. DOE Energy Innovation Hub located at The Navy Yard in Philadelphia, PA. The goal of the EEB Hub is to reduce energy use in the Greater Philadelphia commercial buildings sector by 20 percent by 2020. The EEB Hub has a unique dual mission of improving energy efficiency in buildings and promoting regional economic growth and job creation. Led by Penn State University, the EEB Hub includes 11 academic institutions, two DOE laboratories, six high-profile global industry partners, regional economic development agencies, and community and technical colleges. One of the key EEB Hub efforts is to develop and/or utilize existing relevant associate degree level technical training in energy efficient building technologies and systems, with a special initial emphasis on training for building operators and building energy auditors.
