More energy efficient buildings, vehicles and appliances can cut US energy use in half.
​Efficiency is the cheapest and fastest way to lower greenhouse gas emissions. 

FUEL NOT BURNED

         MEANS CLEANER AIR            

 INDOORS
RETROFITS of existing buildings improve the health of residents and their pocketbooks.  This retrofit program for low income housing in Baltimore lowered pediatric ER visits for asthma by 67%. 

AND OUT
Adequately insulating every US home would decrease air pollution enough to save $1.3 billion on healthcare and nearly $6 billion on utility bills each year.

ELECTRIC AND EFFICIENT CARS
mean less exhaust and lower rates of cancer, asthma, and heart disease.

The EPA and Harvard Center for Risk Analysis found that just one type of pollutant in gasoline exhaust causes 3,800 US deaths annually at a cost to society of $28.2 billion. 

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
AMERICA COULD DOUBLE  ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY 2030
while saving money, creating jobs, and improving our quality of life.
