Let's work smarter and use less Resources to get the job done
If you think that studying is boring and you don't need it, you're deeply mistaken. Forget about outdated curricula — now colleges teach you exactly what you need. Are you interested in smart energy solutions? Choose a corresponding degree in college, and, perhaps, you'll become the next well-known engineer to develop a new system or program to save energy. Such solutions are very demanded now, and educational institutions are interested in giving people the opportunities to explore themselves. And even if you need to write a paper you don't want to do, you can contact the best essay writing service and order any assignment here. And you shouldn't blame yourself for this desire — all people sometimes need assistance and must get it. It doesn't mean that you're not smart enough and you won't achieve success. Expert writers know how to make any student fall in love with studies again after the first order. Try it and you'll understand that studying may be easy and enthralling.
We're on a mission to save energy in the workplace. Smart Energy in Offices (SEiO) is a program from Duke Energy dedicated to helping reduce energy consumption in office buildings. By educating office workers about small, simple changes they can make to their daily routine—and encouraging and rewarding new good habits—we can make a difference in our community.
Benchmark
Access information about your building’s energy usage, load factors and historical trends—and understand what those numbers actually mean.
Plan
Receive ongoing support from your SEiO Engagement Manager to establish goals and prioritize opportunities through an Energy Action Plan.
Act
Initiate action campaigns, games, and friendly competitions to motivate individuals to become Smart Energy Workers. Create opportunities for building engineers to focus attention on operational best practices and share their experience and insights with peers in the community.
Reward
Teams receive recognition in the community as their building advances through Levels of Achievement. Campaigns, competitions, and other educational resources motivate teams for maximum energy savings.

The Smart Energy Now® program from Duke Energy was dedicated to helping reduce energy consumption in Charlotte's Uptown office buildings. Focused on educating office workers in Uptown Charlotte about small, simple changes you can make to your daily routine that together have a huge impact on Charlotte’s energy usage. Our goal was to reduce energy usage in Uptown Charlotte by 5%. With your help we brought it down by 6.2%. An extra 1.2% might not seem like a lot, but it’s enough to power over 500 homes for a year.
“We had an excellent response to our computer monitor campaign. Before the campaign, approximately 18% of all monitors in the Charlotte office were turned off in the evenings. During the campaign, we had a staff participation rate of 72%! The Green Team's goal is to periodically check to see if monitors are turned off, evaluate how we are doing and see if the staff needs any gentle reminders.”
