Second annual Energy Efficiency Day on October 5 urges Americans to “Save Energy. Save Money.”
Smarter energy use means we don’t have to generate as much power to meet our needs. Energy efficiency offers us the most bang for our buck, helping stretch resources to make our homes, schools, and businesses more comfortable and efficient. There’s a lot of untapped potential, which is why October 5 is so important — Energy Efficiency Day.
A collaborative effort between hundreds of government agencies, businesses, utilities, and individuals working to promote energy efficiency, EEDay started last year, with hundreds of municipalities participating.
Here are five ways you can save energy and money at home.
1. Make the Switch to LEDs
With LEDs as low as 95 cents per bulb at DCSEU Partner Retailers, it’s never been easier to upgrade and save. You can save approximately nine percent of your home’s annual energy costs by switching five of your home’s most frequently used bulbs with ENERGY STAR certified LEDs. Ready to make the switch? Join the lightbulb challenge online here.
2. Seal Leaks
On average, heating and cooling account for almost half of your home’s energy consumption. You can save up to 20 percent on heating costs by caulking windows, sealing leaks around chimneys and recessed lighting, and sliding draft guards under your doors.
3. Heat Efficiently Read More
The DC Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU) helps DC residents and businesses use less energy and save money.
Lighting consumes between 20 and 50 percent of a business’ electricity bill, and LEDs use 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and can last up to 10 times longer. So, it’s a no-brainer how DC businesses can lower not only their electricity bill, but also their lighting maintenance costs.
Now they can save on even the initial cost to upgrade with the help of the DCSEU, through its recently-launched Instant Business Rebates program.
Partnering with District Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) lighting distributors, the DCSEU offers instant rebates on energy-efficient tube, pin-, and screw-based lighting, making it easy and affordable for District businesses to save money.
By purchasing directly from these distributors, businesses who wish to upgrade their lighting to save energy and money will get a $3 to $5 discount per bulb at the time of purchase — a first for DC businesses.
When purchasing from alternative sources, businesses can still take advantage of DCSEU lighting rebates by paying full price for qualified lighting and then submitting an application to receive a rebate from the DCSEU for qualified lighting.
The initiative also supports local businesses by currently only working with CBE distributors. In order to be eligible for CBE certification, a business must meet a local standard to demonstrate that it is a bona fide District-based business.
The DCSEU is committed to creating economic opportunities for District businesses, especially CBEs, through energy efficiency. By working with CBE distributors, the DCSEU can offer lighting rebates to District contractors and businesses at the time of purchase.
For distributors interested in participating, please send an e-mail to [email protected].
For business owners looking to find a CBE and get started with their lighting upgrade, check the DCSEU website.

The DC Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU) helps DC residents and businesses use less energy and save money.
Are you smarter than your home? With all the new artificial intelligence and machine learning technology that’s available, sometimes we can’t be so sure. But the DC Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU) is partnering with Nest to help make that happen.
They’re doing it by enabling smart savings. How? First, visit smart.dcseu.com to get your unique $100 coupon code. Next, use that code when you buy your smart thermostat through the Nest website. Buy your thermostat before July 8th to get a total of $150 off the purchase price with Nest’s limited time Fourth of July discount.
The DCSEU, which helps DC residents and businesses use less energy and save money, is also offering $100 mail-in rebates on Ecobee and Honeywell smart thermostats. But Nest is the only manufacturer where you can get instant savings at the point of purchase.
How smart are smart thermostats? Built-in sensors track your whereabouts in the house, and its algorithmic smarts keeps track of when you turn the heat up or down. In about a week it creates a custom temperature schedule, and saves energy by turning itself down when you leave the house. A key feature of the Nest is “Farsight”–it can detect you from 20 feet away, and will greet your presence by lighting up with an easy-to-see temperature reading.
Smart thermostats are also Wi-Fi and mobile app capable. With a flick of a finger on a smartphone or a swipe on a tablet you can control your thermostat from anywhere.
Get your code for $100 instant savings on a Nest thermostat by visiting smart.dcseu.com and purchasing your Nest on www.Nest.com.
