Solving the Challenge of Meeting Energy Efficiency Goals
as Innovators, Educators, and Consultants
Currently, the U.S. constitutes 4% of the world population, yet uses 25% of the world's energy resources. Buildings throughout the country have been found to use 48% of all energy in the U.S. and 76% of all electricity. And the homes we're living in are a huge contributor to this energy consumption.
In fact, the California Energy Commission has mandated – through AB 32 – an ambitious goal of retrofitting 13,000,000 homes for a 40% energy use reduction by 2020. We consume and waste energy at an alarming rate, and the resources to provide it are depleting even faster. Every Watt Matters (EWM) is making a difference.

You create jobs in your local community in making those retrofits and you create investments for the long-term future for yourself, your home and the United States. The Department of Energy is doing everything it can to partner with states (to encourage energy efficiency)...”
– Stephen Chu, U.S. Secretary of Energy
