LightsOut Houston is part of a long-term strategy for Houston to become the Energy Conservation Capital. The goal is to establish a sustained reduction in the use of non-essential electricity in commercial buildings.
When:
Thursday, April 25, 2013 – 10:00 pm.
Where:
Greater Houston
Who:
All commercial buildings
How:
This program involves obtaining a pledge by those committed to implementing energy efficiency measures and operating procedures that will lead to a sustainable reduction in electricity consumption.
Why:
We are committed to making Houston THE Energy Conservationapital. The downtown area has approximately 35 million square feet of office space. It is estimated that by eliminating just 50% of the lights routinely left on overnight and on the weekends, we can save 8.4M KW-Hours annually. That equals to almost $1 million annually. This is enough energy to power more than 600 Houston area homes for a year!
