24 Some examples: 100 watt bulb x 10 hours = 1kWh 250 watt TV x 4 hours = 1 kwh You will be billed in kilowatt hours 1kWh = 10 cents 24 Managed by UT-Battelle 24

25 Cost and Savings Electric Heating 32% Watch the display go down for each degree and when heat is off Space heaters can use 1,500 watts each which would cost $3.60 per day to run. Just for one heater! 25 Managed by UT-Battelle Turning your thermostat down: 3 degrees - 5 degrees can save $150-$250 for the winter heating season 25

26 Summary of Experience as an AmeriCorps Energy Educator in the WIPP program Trying to motivate a client to change their behavior requires creating an immediate connection with the client. It is important for the client to understand that you have their interests in mind and have the ability to tailor your education to the particular needs and challenges of their household. - Robert Abraham 26 Managed by UT-Battelle 26
