With guidance from ICLEI, set up a self- financing energy office to institutionalize your energy and climate work.

The ICLEI USA Energy Office Initiative is a series of trainings and custom support resources created to show local governments, on a fee basis, how to design and develop a self-financing energy office and complementary energy programs within your local government.

An energy office offers a stunning return on investment: By coordinating energy programs and improving energy efficiency in buildings and operations, an energy office delivers substantial savings through reduced energy use that more than pay for the cost of setting it up. Implementing a successful and self-financing energy program is the single, best way for a local government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce energy costs.
