Local Energy Efficiency Partnerships (LEEP)

LEEP accelerates energy efficient, low-carbon construction by enabling builders to reduce their time and risk when finding and trying innovations that can help them build higher performance homes better, faster and more affordably.

LEEP is delivered on a regional basis with the intent to establish an ongoing critical mass of builders that are capable of pulling through the best innovations suited to their region. This can, in turn, develop a more responsive supply chain. The results include energy savings for homeowners, competitive advantage for participating builders and manufacturers, and builder-driven enhancement to local building practice. A list of available LEEP Resources can be found in the LEEP Resource Guide. Download the LEEP Resource Guide to learn about the full suite of LEEP activities.
