An additional USD 6.5 million is dedicated to increasing public access to information, through a broad-based marketing campaign, a web-based information system and on-line building energy tools to help consumers understand their home or building’s greatest energy savings potential. Finally, USD 200 000 of grant funds is committed to development of a workforce intermediary, which looks to align the workforce with the jobs created through EI2 and other energy efficiency programs in the region. This is especially true since the ARRA funds for Energy Impact Illinois will end in 2013, leaving the programme without a reliable source of funding.
