The Trump Administration appears to have canceled the Green Proving Ground program, a federal initiative established in 2011 to test and implement innovative technologies to reduce energy waste in buildings. This program, managed by the GSA and DOE, evaluated over 100 technologies, including low-carbon concrete and vacuum-insulated windows. With the program's cancellation, projects approved for evaluation have been halted, and contractors’ roles have been terminated. This action potentially undermines efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and save energy costs in federal facilities, representing a significant shift in the government's approach to sustainability initiatives.
The cancellation of the Green Proving Ground program signals a setback in evaluating and implementing emerging technologies aimed at reducing energy waste in federal buildings.
Participants in the Green Proving Ground were informed that their projects were canceled, and contracts for technology evaluation were also terminated.
