Buildings
Lights Out/ Turn it Off
Reduce energy use by doing simple actions such as turning the lights off when you are the last to leave a room, using smart power strips, and turning off small appliances around your desk when not in use. At Home or a NW Natural Location we encourage you to: -Turn the lights off when you leave a room. Don't forget those little desk lamps! -Turn off TVs when no one is watching -Close bay doors if the heat or A/C is on -Alert SEEC and or facilities if you are notice light sensors not working properly
Electricity

Peruse our external Less We Can site at http://lesswecan.com/ Learn about all of the ways NW Natural is trying to reduce our carbon foot print. For those who do not interact with customers on a regular basis, this is also a great opportunity to see how we communicate our goals to an outside audience.

Reflection QuestionBuildings Lights Out/ Turn it OffIs this a new habit for you? Have you noticed anything around NWN that we could improve on for energy savings?
Kat Kellner 11/12/2020 12:16 PMI am really trying to teach my kids to turn off lights that they are not using - its turned into a bit of a game with the family and friendly calling each other out if someone forgets!-
Sophie Cash 11/12/2020 1:19 PMThat's awesome! When I was a kid my parents incentivized saving electricity by every month looking at our utility bills together, and if my sister and I helped use less energy that month that the corresponding month the previous year. If we had used less that month, my sister and I got the difference in spending to keep!
