The US Department of Energy (DOE) is hosting a webinar on Thursday, November 16th, to highlight different partnership models that can help school districts move forward making energy improvements. It will provide examples of community-based partnerships, and partnerships with energy service companies, universities, and utilities. Learn what has worked well for school districts and gain insights on how to get started in forming your own partnerships to address the energy challenges in schools.
Join the Teaming Partner List

DOE is compiling a Teaming Partner List for the schools community to facilitate connections between school districts and industry partners willing to support schools with meeting their energy and climate goals. This list will support a number of DOE programs including the Renew America's Schools Program, the Efficient and Healthy Schools Program, the ESPC Campaign, and the Better Buildings/Better Climate Challenge.
Are you a vendor looking to get involved?
Projects funded through the Renew America’s Schools Program include Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements. To assist stakeholders in finding products that meet these requirements, the DOE Schools and Nonprofits program is compiling a list of companies with BABA compliant products. If you are a vendor of BABA compliant products, join the BABA Compliant Product List.
