The US Department of Energy developed the National Training and Education Resource (NTER) as an open source platform to foster a new ecosystem for training and education. NTER was originally developed to improve the quality and rate of delivery for training of those involved in energy efficiency retrofitting of residential buildings. By taking advantage of information technology and the latest learning science, the NTER platform offers a new suite of tools to create and access traditional, multimedia and 3D-enabled courses.

The U.S. Department of Energy has partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Southern University and A&M College to develop an online middle school curriculum focused on Energy Efficiency in Homes. The curriculum includes general content knowledge on energy forms, usage and consumption.

In 2000, as passenger hybrid cars were just beginning to grow in popularity, FedEx teamed with Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) on an ambitious project to make the standard delivery truck more environmentally friendly.

HUD moved in fiscal year 2010 to require energy efficiency and water conservation measures and to encourage the use of green building design and features in new Section 202 and Section 811 projects. This report was developed to aid sponsors and owners in working with HUD to advance these goals and, specifically, to assist in responding to the new requirements and incentives.

GE’s Grid IQ™ Demand Optimization solution uses GE’s Demand Response Management System (DR1000) software to connect other components of the solution, such as smart meters, home and building energy solutions, and underlying communications infrastructure, in order to enable communication between utilities and consumers. This allows utilities to reduce capacity reserve margin and consumers to reduce electricity use through greater transparency and control of their daily electricity profile.

GE’s China Mainline Evolution™ Locomotive Kit is designed for lower emissions and higher horsepower than the majority of locomotives in operation in China today. Since 2008, GE Transportation has taken orders for 600 locomotive kits for use on China’s mainline rail system.

GE’s Microgrid Control System is an energy management control solution designed to optimize dispatch of distributed energy resources and to provide load balancing in a local power distribution network. In a microgrid system with renewable and fossil fuel power generation, the control system improves the management of distributed generators, energy storage and associated loads increasing renewable energy utilization while reducing fossil fuel consumption. GE’s Microgrid Control System can be used in off-the-grid rural communities as well as grid-connected applications such as military, industrial and commercial microgrids.

As plug−in electric vehicles begin hitting the road, GE’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station stands ready to serve the millions of cars that will be plugging in instead of fueling up. With the EV Charging Station, GE builds on a century of innovation in designing and manufacturing electrical distribution systems.

GE’s EV Charging Station is ideal for various locations. Developers of commercial properties may achieve higher LEED status by setting aside parking for low−emission vehicles. The station also works in residential settings, where its user−friendly design makes it an excellent choice for consumers wanting a durable, safe, at−home solution.

GE’s Kazakhstan Evolution ES44ACi Locomotive provides advanced locomotive technology for the Russia/CIS market. This GEVO 12-cylinder diesel engine produces lower emissions while generating more horsepower than the Russian-built 2TE10 locomotives it replaces.

The Wheego LiFe is an electric vehicle with a range of approximately 100 miles per charge. The time to charge takes approximately 5 hours on a 220V/240V outlet. The vehicle has room for two passengers and storage space.
