Duluth Economic Impact

  • As of 2009, Duluth exported $200 million a year to pay for energy costs. 40% of energy is consumed by buildings. Duluth’s very cold climate, combined with the age of Duluth’s housing stock (50% of homes are more than 80 years old), indicate an opportunity to reduce energy use by weatherizing and air sealing buildings.
  • 20-30% energy savings can be achieved through building envelope and mechanical system improvements, thus reducing carbon emissions. DEEP will assist the City of Duluth in reaching its 20% carbon reduction by 2020 and the local utilities in meeting the required Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) 1.5% annual energy use reduction.
