GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) – The city of Gainesville is being recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The city was awarded the 2022 annual Partner Innovation Award.
It comes after city commissioners passed an ordinance that went into effect last October to create a permit and inspection process to raise minimum energy efficiency standards.
Officials say Gainesville is the first city in the nation to use the department’s “home energy score” in their inspections.
