A new study identifies commercial buildings as a stealth drain on the state's energy resources and economy. The report, UNTAPPED POTENTIAL OF COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS: ENERGY USE AND EMISSIONS, produced by Collaborative Economics for Next 10, finds that the energy efficiency or lack thereof in commercial buildings has a significant impact on California's economy, the state's overall energy use, global warming pollution emissions and jobs.

California has long played an international role as an incubator of innovation. From the integrated circuit to web 2.0, recombinant DNA to genomics, world changing ideas and inventions have their genesis in this state. Lesser known, however, is California’s role in clean technology innovation and the impact of that innovation on the state’s economic and environmental health.

Next 10 is working with leading experts and state policymakers to provide research important to growing the economy while leading the world in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Current initiatives include an annual California Green Innovation Index, a web-based carbon calculator, a carbon mapping project and additional research projects.
