OakGreen Challenge: What Is It?

The OakGreen Challenge is a commitment to reducing the energy consumption in your home, business, municipal facility or school facility by 10% by the end of 2012. Your efforts benefit the environment, your community, and your financial bottom line.

Getting Started

Residents will complete a free EPA ENERGY STAR energy assessment and will receive information on options and incentives for increasing their energy efficiency and saving money. 

Local governments, school districts, and businesses will be asked to track their energy use in EPA's Energy Star Portfolio Manager and will receive technical support and information on energy saving options.

Your participation will be recognized and awards will be given. Interested? Take the OakGreen Challenge below.
