Energy Efficiency & Renewable PowerTexas has the technical and economicpotential to reduce air pollution frompower plants and meet all of our futuregrowth in energy demand throughenergy efficiency and on-site renewablepower. We have only begun toimplement energy efficiency measuresand to install clean, renewable power.Studies show we can do more. Here’show we can get off coal in twenty years.Texas has built more “Energy Star” residential homes thanany other state in the nation while more and more owners oflarge buildings all over Texas are achieving ‘LEED’ ratings fromthe internationally-recognized green building certification program.Here are a few examples:Waco has a LEED Gold-certifiedGreater Chamber of Commercebuilding.Dallas has its first LEED Goldhigh rise - Park Seventeen and aSilver-rated Police Headquarters.Austin has the Dell Children’sHospital, Texas’s first LEEDPlatinum hospital.At their best, our cities are reducing airpollution by combining urban densityto avoid traffic-heavy sprawl and requiringenergy efficient construction withgreen building codes.Constructing and updatinghomes, commercial buildings,and industrial facilities for energyefficiency is the cheapest, cleanestand quickest way to reduce energyuse, save money on our electricitybills, and clean up the air.Capping energy demand means we don’t need to build expensiveand polluting new power plants. The more energy efficiencywe create, the cleaner the air we breathe can be. We needstrong policy commitments to energy efficiency programs andrenewable power to continue moving beyond coal in Texas.Increasing Renewable Power from less than 10% to more than40% of Texas’ Electricity Mix Rolls Texas Beyond Coal by 2030Several Texas cities -- Austin, Beaumont,Dallas, El Paso, Houston, San Antonio, andWaco have updated their building codes toincrease energy efficiency. Corpus Christiis next. Austin, Dallas, San Antonio andHouston all offer green building programsto encourage builders to go beyond thesenew energy efficiency codes.
