Planning for energy sustainability is critical in today’s world due to unpredictable fuel prices and the environmental, social, and economic consequences related to climate change.  Federal, state, and local government can lead by example by inventorying their energy use and developing strategies for reduction.  Business and home owners can significantly decrease their energy use through energy efficiency strategies to heat, cool and operate buildings.  Communities can take a pro-active approach to energy reduction through land use planning techniques that limit transportation-related energy use, encourage renewable and clean sources of energy, and allow for energy efficient building design.
