The Kilowatt Crackdown Has Officially Ended
The Kilowatt Crackdown officially ended on November 30th, and I want to thank everyone who participated. This was a new project for us, and I am delighted with the amount of community support it received. We had 142 people sign up, and 8 neighborhoods achieved the necessary participation to compete for the prize. (See the list below). This particpation represents 2.7% of owner-occupied housing units, and 1.5% of total housing units, which includes rental and public housing. I’ve already had representatives from other cities call me to ask for advice on how to run these types of challenges!
We will be working with our partner Earth Aid in December to ensure that data is collected for all participants before a winner is announced. Because bill cycles vary widely, we will most likely not be able to announce a winner until late December, or early January.
Again, on behalf of the City of Decatur and the Environmental Sustainability Board, thank you all for your support and participation. Stay tuned for more opportunities to learn about improving the energy efficiency of your Decatur home.
