Why it matters

Whether a simple, low-tech community toolkit leads to measurable reductions in peak electricity usage compared to baseline consumption, and if it increases awareness of energy-saving practices among participants. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 70% of participating households complete daily logs for 4 weeks, and the group achieves a 10% reduction in peak usage (compared to baseline week) as measured by self-reported logs. Baseline is average usage in the first week. Measured by
