You’re passionate and committed, but also very frustrated about the current state of climate affairs. The problem is that you don’t know WHAT you can do to help.You don’t see any obvious tool you could easily use to manage energy usage in your home. You want to lead in leaving this world better than you found it. You just don’t know how.
Your bills seem to go up constantly. Sometimes, your usage doesn’t increase, but your costs do. When you call the utility company, all they can tell you is that you’re using more energy. They can’t tell you why or what is causing the rising usage. Even worse, they can’t tell you how you can manage usage yourself.
It’s very frustrating because you’d do whatever you could to manage energy usage—if only you had a tool to help you. You do the best you can, tolerating being cold on cold days and hot on hot days. You don’t know if your actions are actually lowering costs. Even worse, you cannot directly see the impacts of your attempts. You don’t have a real-time feedback system.
You live in, own, or manage a building where energy usage is not optimized. You recognize that energy is being wasted while the building isn’t as reliably comfortable as it could be. Living in a building that isn’t optimized affects the quality of your life. Without real-time control over energy usage, the quality of your life can’t be optimized.
You can see energy waste in the community but don’t know how to motivate other owners. You’d like to start discussions on how to make buildings and neighborhoods more energy efficient. You’re thinking that would increase the asset value, but you don’t have the tools to demonstrate your ideas.
You make decisions that support your values. You are likely to be on the leading edge, fighting for positive change in the world. To you, climate change and social justice aren’t words you “mouth”. They are your values.
In fact, one of your primary values is making a contribution to changing the situation. You think about this constantly and want to make a difference. It breaks your heart to think of the changed world that future generations will have to deal with. Those thoughts reinforce your commitment and your desire to take action.
You make a point to use the right amount of resources without wasting in any way. You do simple things like not letting water run while brushing your teeth.You actually get pleasure from living simply and not being driven by the consumerism of others.
You like to get things done and to create situations where you can control your own environment. To you, it’s smart to shape your life with your own two hands and your independent thinking.
Maybe you even have children in the home and like to teach them how to manage money. You want to see how money is being used and make wise decisions about spending.You are excited about being able to directly see how simple actions can save money in your household budget. You would love to be able to demonstrate to household members how certain activities contribute to lower energy bills.
