Power to Save

Power to Save

As stewards of the facilities on Capitol Hill, the Architect of the Capitol is committed to advancing an energy-efficient and sustainable Congressional campus. That’s why we’ve developed the Power to Save partnership program—to talk about how your office can become a part of our energy reduction strategy. We’d like your office to take action and help us save resources with just a few simple steps.

To help you learn more about what you can do to make your office a little greener, we’ve created an interactive experience called What’s Your Conservation IQ? This short exercise will test what you know (or think you know) about environmental efforts in and around the Capitol grounds.
