Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP)
AZ, CO, NV, NM, UT, WY
The Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) is a public interest organization promoting greater energy efficiency in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. This is a high-growth region where energy efficiency efforts historically have been lagging compared to other regions, air pollution is a growing concern, and many new power plants are planned, including new coal-fired power plants.
SWEEP focuses on electricity and natural gas conservation along with the promotion of combined heat and power systems while working in the following areas:
- state energy legislation
- utility energy efficiency programs
- building energy efficiency
- education and training
- information development and exchange
SWEEP's building energy code activities focus on supporting the adoption and enforcement of residential and commercial building energy codes at the state and local levels. SWEEP provides technical assistance to state and local officials seeking to develop or update their energy code, with emphasis on developing and adopting more efficient energy codes on either a mandatory or voluntary basis. We also prepare state and regional estimates of the energy savings potential and cost-effectiveness of adopting more energy efficient building energy codes.
