Last week, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) kicked off the inaugural cohort of Connected Communities at the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. Acting Assistant Secretary Alejandro Moreno joined leaders from project partners, staff from the Building Technologies Office (BTO), the national labs, as well as other guests to launch the cohort of nine awarded Connected Communities projects. During the visit, they toured OSU’s East Regional Water Chiller Plant and Innovation District, some of the diverse vintage of buildings that will be built and retrofitted as part of the OSU Connected Communities project with Engie North America, American Electric Power and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
The event was planned by OSU and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which serves as the National Coordinator for Connected Communities.
