Energy Efficiency Grant Awarded for New Orleans

by Trey Granger

Earth Times reports that Massachusetts energy services firm Conservation Services Group (CSG) has received a $150,000 grant to implement efficient energy for New Orleans. CSG will help the city develop energy efficient buildings as part of the ongoing reconstruction of the city after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

“The Energy Saving Initiative is one of the first to be implemented from an overall strategy for reconstruction called the Unified New Orleans Plan. This plan was funded by the Clinton-Bush Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation.”

This plan would be New Orleans’ first large scale energy efficiency project. Leonardo DiCaprio has started a similar mission of rebuilding Greensburg, Kansas after it was hit by a tornado in May. For more Green Building news, visit Earth 911’s Green Building archive.
