• ENERGY STAR in your office - Promotional on how you can save money in your business or home office by using ENERGY STAR products or energy management settings on your computer.
• Smart Prefab Home Featured in Chicago Meuseum of Science - A pre-cut architectural wonder currently on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry (MSI), is designed with urban dwellers in mind.  The home is pre-wired with a digital brain, which measures gas, electricity and water use.  This computerized scheme enables a resident to curb energy consumption by taping the grid during off-peak hours. It also makes the thermostat eco-smart and even automates window shades. Each unit consists of a handful of prefabricated, recycled modules, which are later trucked to location and assembled in one-third of the time it takes to build an on-site home. There is even a roof-top garden.
• Programmable Thermostats - Did you know that properly using a programmable thermostat in your home is one of the easiest ways you can save energy, money, and help fight global climate change? This video shows you how an ENERGY STAR qualified programmable thermostat can help make it easy for you to save by offering  pre-programmed settings to regulate your home’s temperature in both summer and winter — whether you are asleep or away.  The average household can save about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings.
