Energy Efficiency Jobs in America is an annual report that tracks energy efficiency employment nationally and across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, in the areas of manufacturing, construction, installation, maintenance and repair, and delivery.  It emphasizes the built environment, where workers use ENERGY STAR-certified products and technologies, and high-performance building materials. This includes energy auditors, insulation installers, technicians, HVAC professionals, architects, electrical engineers, and more. In 2024, the energy efficiency industry employed nearly 2.4 million people, a 4% increase (nearly 100,000 new jobs) compared to the year before–and nearly doubling since 2021.
