ENERGY EFFICIENCY

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a large portion of energy consumed in the U.S. is wasted through transmission, heat loss and inefficient technology -- costing you money as well as spiking our carbon pollution.

Energy efficiency is something everyone can do, and it is an easy, cost-effective way to mitigate carbon emissions, have higher air quality, and cut costs for the community.
