Step 8: Celebrate Your Success

You should be proud of your organization's efforts to reduce its energy consumption. For example, you could display the details and results to employees and other stakeholders. After all, a commitment to saving energy and protecting the environment involves convincing others to do the same.

Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) offers opportunities to raise awareness of energy efficiency in your organization and national recognition to organizations that successfully implement energy efficiency savings.

Awareness Opportunities

More ideas on how promoting energy efficiency plans and savings in your organization can be found in the publication A Guide to Implementing an Energy Efficiency Awareness Program.
