Lighting
Lighting likely accounts for 12% of your home’s energy use – but don’t worry. Improving lighting is a fast, simple way to reduce energy bills. And with new lighting standards, you have more money-saving options than ever before.
New Lighting Standards
Since new lighting standards began in January 2012, light bulbs are almost 30% more efficient than the old-style incandescent bulbs. That means families who change at least 15 of their bulbs could save between $50 and more than $100 per year in electricity costs.

A diverse coalition of energy leaders unveil a set of recommendations designed to double U.S. energy productivity by 2030. Achieving goal could save $327 billion annually and add 1.3 million jobs.
The year 2012 was a milestone for us at the Alliance to Save Energy: We celebrated 35 years of advancing energy efficiency, and laid solid groundwork for another 35 years. Throughout the the year, we charged forward with consumer outreach, on-the-ground projects, and political advocacy to inject “using less, doing more” into people’s daily lives. These are our proudest moments of 2012.
