Energy-Saving Competitions
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 or start your own. See EPA’s list of legislation and campaigns leveraging ENERGY STAR for competitions near you.
