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.

The participants collectively saved approximately $600 over the three months for an estimated savings of $2,400 a year.
