The Cleveland 2030 District also works to make it easy on large commercial building owners to drastically reduce their energy use and become more efficient. The District, which emerged out of the Sustainable Cleveland initiative, now has more than 40 building owner members representing about 40 million square feet. Numerous organizations in the city currently work with residents and businesses to improve their energy performance. Through the Cleveland Climate Action Plan, the City and its stakeholders have committed to reducing emissions 80% by 2050, with interim goals, much of which will be accomplished through energy efficiency. | (41.49932°, -81.6943605°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
