has been selected for a new five-year contract to deliver energy-efficiency services to customers of 聽New Buildings program. The contract between Energy Trust and CLEAResult will build on their efforts to tackle energy challenges and provide energy-efficient solutions for Oregon communities.

Implemented by CLEAResult since 2009, the New Buildings program has provided design teams, contractors, developers and owners with help to construct buildings that meet the region’s evolving energy demands. Energy Trust and CLEAResult’s work will introduce a new phase of this program’s approach 鈥� Whole Buildings for All, Market Capacity Development and a Pathway to Grid Interactivity — which will help to provide holistic, detailed guidance to design renovations and new construction with energy-efficiency as a central focus.

鈥淲e’ve set the bar high with our last 16 years of working with Energy Trust of Oregon, and we are looking forward to expanding on the great foundation of work we’ve accomplished together,鈥� said Kecia Davison, senior vice president at CLEAResult, in a statement. 鈥淎s part of this next step, our teams will deliver on promises of the 聽and ensure every building is designed with efficiency at its core.鈥�

Energy Trust and CLEAResult aim to optimize all buildings for both performance and reliability, ensuring all buildings have access to whole building energy modeling and efficient design principles from the earliest design stages. The Grid Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEB) approach will optimize energy use and enhance sustainability by integrating energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy sources and energy smart systems. This design philosophy allows building owners to leverage their buildings as supplementary energy storage systems, better distributing energy reliability and resilience across the grid.

鈥淲e are happy to work with CLEAResult to deliver our New Buildings Program. These new offers will take energy efficiency design to the next level, helping more customers and communities across Oregon,鈥� said Shelly Carlton, senior program manager at Energy Trust of Oregon, in a statement. 鈥淏y considering a more intentional, holistic approach to initial building designs, we are making a positive impact for customers and communities while pioneering the next phase of new construction.鈥�

Energy Trust and CLEAResult will prioritize market capacity development through fellowships and internships with local community organizations.

鈥淭his presents a unique opportunity to redefine energy efficiency and grid-interactivity within new buildings while also readying a new workforce for this effort,鈥� said Brooke Landon, senior program director at CLEAResult, in a statement. 鈥淥ur goal is that every project will have energy resiliency incorporated into their projects from the start.鈥�
