The Detroit Energy Challenge is an extension of the Michigan Battle of the Buildings in partnership with Detroit 2030 District and the City of Detroit. With visionary sponsorship by DTE, the program awards local Detroit commercial, industrial and multi-family buildings for energy-efficient practices.

Last Year's Celebration

The Third Annual DEC Awards Breakfast

The Detroit 2030 District hosted the third annual Detroit Energy Challenge Awards Breakfast to honor Detroit building owners and managers who reduced energy consumption in their building(s). The event took place on June 13, 2024 and was held at the Union Carpenters and Millwrights Skilled Training Center in Detroit, Michigan. We awarded three buildings and recognized two honorable mentions.

Attendees enjoyed a hot breakfast and networked with competitors, business, and industry professionals. They also visited the trade show tables and listened to special guest speakers.
