case study series
The Rebuild Michigan Program fosters partnerships that promote increased energy efficiency within a community. Partners may include local governments, schools, universities, businesses, non-profit organizations and public housing authorities. With assistance from state government and other partners each community can determine energy saving opportunities and goals and work to implement an energy action plan.


Program Benefits

Rebuild Michigan Partners gain access to resources and technical assistance to develop a comprehensive action plan. This plan will map out the facility's or community's energy future and how it can be achieved. Once the plan is put into action partners realize many benefits such as:

 

Cost Savings
By implementing energy efficiency projects, energy costs will be reduced and saved dollars can be used elsewhere in the organization or the community

 

Improved Building Quality
Energy efficient buildings are easier to maintain, more comfortable for occupants, and have better indoor air quality.


Environmental Protection
By reducing energy demand, facilities and communities can reduce emissions from energy generation and improve the health and welfare of its occupants.


Getting Started

The Rebuild Michigan Program is designed to assist public K-12 schools, colleges, universities, local governments and public housing authorities with improving the energy efficiency of their buildings. This program offers technical assistance and attractive financing information for cost effective projects. Eligible public institutions can install the recommended improvements with little or no upfront capital.

Information on Becoming a Program Participant

Community Partnerships

To become a community partnership the organization should form a coalition within the community. The coalition (consisting of community members, local businesses, schools, etc.) then forms a partnership with the Michigan Energy Office.

If you are interested in forming a Rebuild Michigan partnership and/or receiving application information, contact Tom Krupiarz at (517) 241-6184 or by email at krupiarzt@michigan.gov .
