WHY STEP UP AND POWER DOWN?
MONEY IS BEING WASTED
30% of the energy used by large buildings is wasted.
That’s billions of dollars are spent on energy that isn’t actually needed.
As buildings become more efficient, simple changes in how we interact with energy can make a big difference for our future.
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
IT’S SMART BUSINESS
Only pay for the energy you actually need.
Lower operational costs make sense.
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Small actions by many people add up.
Contribute to the greater good of your community by harnessing the impact of many.
