Dear Colleagues,

Change.org is sponsoring a competition for new ideas that can help address the nation’s challenges, including energy related ideas. The ideas with the most votes may get a hearing at the White House. Earth Advantage Institute has proposed the Energy Performance Score, a “miles-per-gallon” style rating for your home that provides an energy consumption score and a score for related carbon emissions. We are currently leading in the energy category by a few votes, and the first round ends today at 2:00pm Pacific time.

Please take a minute to vote at http://www.change.org/ideas/view/we_must_change_energy_behavior_-_an_mpg_rating_for_your_home. Thank you for your support. If you have colleagues who would be willing to vote in the next few hours, please feel free to forward this to them.

About EPS
The EPS allows homeowners to compare energy performance of similar homes in the same way that MPG stickers allow comparison of vehicles. More importantly, the EPS provides a motivation to homeowners to make needed energy improvements that can help increase their own comfort, reduce energy payments, and help reduce carbon emissions. The EPS is currently available for new homes in Oregon and for existing homes as part of a 5,000 home Seattle pilot.
