The United Helpers Sustainability Committee has issued a 12-month challenge to facilities to reduce their energy usage, using a three-year look back period to provide incentive for employees to explore ways to conserve electricity. For each month that a United Helpers’ facility goes below their three year average, they are awarded a point. Sites falling below their average by 1-2% receive an additional point and those achieving a rate at 2% below their average receive 2 points or a maximum total of 3 points per month.
Despite high temperatures, many of United Helpers' 26 facilities have still managed to find unique ways to cut their energy consumption and rise to the top of the contest leader board. As of May 31, the United Helpers facilities with most points are:
Spruce Street IRA - 15 points
Flackville Rd IRA - 14 points
RiverLedge Residence - 13 points
Sparx - 12 points
Riverwood IRA - 12 points
Mosaic Complex - 12 points
With the summer temps well above average, will these leaders be able to hang on after numbers for June and July roll in? Fall may result in cooler temps, but this contest is starting to heat up!
