2030 Energy & Carbon Guidebook

The Grand Rapids 2030 District’s Professional Partners Group (PPG), a team of local experts formed in 2022, has created an Energy and Carbon Guidebook. This group came together to help local businesses and organizations improve energy efficiency and lower carbon output.

The guidebook is designed to:

Serve as a local resource to help Grand Rapids businesses and project teams improve energy performance.
Make it easier to reduce energy use in buildings, helping teams reach renewable energy and carbon reduction goals.
Offer guidance to building owners and project teams working toward lowering emissions.

While the guide is tailored for Grand Rapids, it offers useful insights for businesses throughout Michigan.
