It's In our Power Energy Efficient House
It's In Our Power has created a model Energy Efficient House with all of the elements you can implement to start saving on your utility bills and lower your carbon footprint. For a detailed description, see our Energy Efficient House fact sheet.
Featured Energy Champions
Congregation M'kor Shalom now saves nearly 40% on the building's utility bill after making substantial energy upgrades, including a new HVAC system and upgraded duct work, an Energy Management System (that had a return on investment of 12-18 months), new LED lighting in the sanctuary and lighting sensors throughout the building. 
On February 13, 2012, Mayor Chuck Cahn recognized M'kor Shalom as the first congregational It's In Our Power Energy Champion. Accepting a Proclamation from the Mayor is Anne Simonoff, Chair of the M'kor Shalom Green Council, which educates members of M'kor Shalom on how to reduce their carbon footprint and live more sustainably.
The Playdrome Bowling and Entertainment Center converted to LED lighting throughout the facility, and also installed other energy-saving devices such as capacitors to store unused energy, light sensors and energy management for computers and copiers. Playdrome owner, Jon Perper, accepts a Proclamation naming the Playdrome as the first business It's In Our Power Energy Champion.
Residential Energy Champions
The Kaufman Family -- Caren, Steve, Sam and Isabel -- completed all 6 of the energy-saving actions in the It's In Our Power pledge and became the first residential Energy Champions, receiving a proclamation from Mayor Cahn.
Our Power Cherry Hill Campaign Provides Fuel-Efficient Vehicles List
Transportation encompasses a large percentage of greenhouse gas emissions. In Cherry Hill, more than a quarter of our carbon footprint comes from automobiles (28%). If the types of vehicles we use are more fuel efficient, a large impact can be made on the carbon footprint in town.
The It's In Our Power Cherry Hill campaign encourages residents to make their next vehicle purchase from among a list of fuel efficient models. Specifically, this effort focuses on getting consumers to purchase only vehicles that have a government calculated fuel efficiency rating of “35 MPG highway” (or greater). We have identified 324 vehicles that make the list of vehicles that get 35MPG highway (or greater) criteria. Included are data for the last seven model years.
* Vehicles are sorted by automaker.
New fuel efficient cars for 2012 are listed on the website! Take a look here.
