Governor Gregoire encourages all Washington state employees to participate in the March to Savings!
Each of Washington's 100,000 state employees has control over some of their energy use at work. March to Savings provides information, education and inspiration to reduce energy use in our state government facilities.
Working together, state employees can reduce energy use and reduce the state's operating budget. View a video, read a publication, talk to your building operator, share an inspiring photograph, power down the copier tonight or find another way to reduce energy use at work.
A small change today...A big impact for Washington state!

Mini Loggers
Building managers should have a few mini data loggers in their toolkit. Data loggers are affordable, easy to set up and install, and they provide meaningful information that can be used to control the energy use of appliances or equipment in buildings. This 13-minute video discusses product features, demonstrates use and provides case studies.
Occupancy Sensors
Occupancy sensors are an easy and effective way to help conserve energy because they will automatically turn off building lighting during periods of non-use. When set correctly, occupancy sensors can help save lighting energy costs.
