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. Detroit area buildings enrolled in the Michigan Battle of the Buildings are automatically considered for local and state-wide recognition. There is no cost to enter the annual competition.
