CleanEnergy4All
Founded in 2012 as CleanEnergy4All, the organization's original mission was to equip nonprofit and charitable organizations with solar power. This model allowed such organizations to achieve sustainability goals while saving money on utility bills that could then be allocated to funding the essential services that aligned with their mission. Having completed a multitude of installations in both California and Ohio, CleanEnergy4All began to identify the need for a more dynamic approach to sustainability in the communities they served.
Dayton Energy Collaborative
In 2021, the organization rebranded as Dayton Energy Collaborative (DEC) to create a more dynamic approach to addressing residential energy inefficiency in the Dayton community. DEC’s focus is coordinating home repair and weatherization programs to reduce energy burdens (the percentage of household income spent on energy bills) and meet the needs of under-resourced households in Dayton.
DEC has partnered with organizations to develop a robust home repair and energy efficiency one-stop-shop retrofit program, the Dayton Home Repair Network (DHRN). DEC proudly leads the DHRN, facilitating communication, streamlining collaboration, and leveraging funding to fill in gaps. Through this one-stop-shop, DEC aims to accomplish our mission of ensuring all houses we work with energy efficient, resilient, and healthy.
