Help EPS get National Recognition

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Home Performance Washington Members,

Our Northwest region has taken a strong lead in the development of cutting-edge sustainability programs. You now have a chance to take one such program and help it gain national recognition at the highest level. Change.org is sponsoring a competition for new ideas that can help address the nation’s challenges, including energy-related concepts. The ideas with the most votes will get a hearing at the White House. Our region’s Energy Performance Score, a “miles-per-gallon” style rating for your home, has made it to the final round.

But in this final round we start from zero votes again.

Please take a minute to vote using this link. http://www.change.org/ideas/view/we_must_change_energy_behavior_-_an_mpg_rating_for_your_home  You may vote for ten ideas, including the EPS. If you voted in the first round, you will need to log in first. If you have not voted you will need to register and then confirm through an email link.

Thanks for your support. Please feel free to forward to friends and colleagues.

About the Energy Performance Score(EPS)

The EPS is a “miles-per-gallon” rating system for your home that provides an energy consumption score and a score for related carbon emissions. The EPS allows homeowners to compare energy performance of 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.
