Programs & Activities

Program 1

$442K

Building Performance: Through our Building Performance projects and programmatic activities, Metropolitan Energy Center facilitates education, resource matchmaking and technical assistance to various constituencies, including municipal officials, residential homeowners and renters, commercial property managers and government agencies. The goal is to increase uptake of energy efficiency technologies and practices, increase compliance with municipal codes by property owners and managers, and help all of our constituencies to access available external funding sources. Our Energy Solutions Hub also provides healthy housing education and supports research related to understanding the impact of energy efficiency measures on human health. We reach homeowners, renters and the public generally through Project Living Proof, our demonstration home that tangibly illustrates sustainable building materials, xeriscaped lawns, and healthy homes education. It is also used for small business workforce development training in the energy and environment fields.

Program 2

$80K

Renewable Energy Program: The board authorized the development of a new Renewable Energy program. In 2024 we initiated a new service related to this program area. Our activities were limited to receiving crowdsourced donor funds for the purpose of disbursing to low-income-qualified homeowners participating in the Kansas City, Missouri, "Share the Sun" program, a sub-program of Solarize Kansas City. The funds were received as passthrough funds to support installation of solar photovoltaic systems for these homes. We participated in efforts to further develop this program for future years.
