Pledge Support

Goal to Lower Energy Usage by 20%

What We Are Discovering

We've spent the last few months collecting usage data from participating buildings. While that sounds easy enough, we must account for fluctuations such as weather and building occupancy. We will then identify the increases and decreases in energy use that occur naturally. From there we are able to see our progress. As you can see our initial findings are very encouraging. As another measure of our success, the Smart Energy Now program is growing every day with more and more people making the pledge to participate each day. We can’t do this without your help.
