Reporting and Benefits Template
BETTER BUILDINGS RESIDENTIAL NETWORK
The Better Buildings Residential Network connects energy efficiency programs and partners to share
best practices and learn from one another to increase the number of homes that are energy efficient.
Members share their number of upgrades and benefits from those upgrades once per year, which
benefits all members by providing a summary of the Residential Network’s collective impact and
enables learning from each other’s best practices.
With their permission, members will be recognized for their accomplishments in DOE publications,
such as the forthcoming State of the Better Buildings Residential Network report, lessons learned
materials, Better Buildings Network View e-newsletter, and other communications and social media.
Share your organization’s accomplishments by completing this template.1
