Make it a competition
Competitions can be a great way to motivate your team to find new efficiencies, engage occupants in your efforts, and multiply savings across your portfolio – all while helping the environment. You can join an existing competition, such as a local Kilowatt Crackdown, or start your own. See EPA’s list of legislation and campaigns leveraging ENERGY STAR for competitions near you.

Ready to host your own internal energy- or water-efficiency competition? Learn more about how to Build Your Own Battle, and check out EPA's resources which guide you through creating your own competition, including a Building Competition Guide, Data Management Guide, Activity Kits, and communication and planning resources.
Competitions are a great way to:
- Save energy, water, and money – and reduce waste
- Identify best practices to leverage across your portfolio
- Jumpstart savings that last beyond the competition
- Work toward your sustainability goals
- Engage your occupants and local community
- Earn positive publicity for achievements
- Build momentum for benchmarking and improving efficiency
