From New York State Energy Research and Development Authority:
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ( NYSERDA ) and Sustainable Kensington Windsor Terrace completed a three month energy savings competition within two Brooklyn neighborhoods which was created to encourage participants to reduce their energy use through awareness and education.

Over the course of the competition, forty participants from the Kensington and Windsor Terrace neighborhoods used 6.6 % less electricity as compared to the same three month time period last year. The participants collectively saved approximately $600 over the three months for an estimated savings of $2,400 a year.
