Des Moines is an energy-efficient town
April 15, 2010
The EPA has
named named Des Moines #24 on its list of the
25 cities with the most Energy Star-labeled buildings. Considering that the metro area is only
#91 in the country for total population, the ranking suggests the area is disproportionately committed to energy-efficient buildings. We have had considerable success in our own experience with energy savings using
LED light bulbs. We've seen that switching over a handful of primary household lights can decrease total household electric use by about 20%.
