Mechanical solutions take an important, but different approach to saving energy than Energy Education’s behavioral program:

“No person would ever consider building a pyramid with the peak first. Rather a pyramid is built with the base first and then progressive layers are added until we finally get to the peak.”

“Energy Conservation is largely based on behavioral practices to use in a more efficient manner…it is essential to have the cooperation of all people involved with the organization or enterprise for energy conservation to be successful.”

“When the energy pyramid is built with energy conservation as the base…then we will be saving energy, saving money, decreasing dependency on imported energy, and improving the environment for this generation and the following generations.

That’s a winning combination!”Dr. Dennis Buffington, P.E., CEM, CBE
