Think! Energy Program Overview
Think! Energy (T!E) is the National Energy Foundation’s (NEF) brand of energy efficiency programs. T!E consists of four core programs: Bright Kids, Take Action!, Innovation and Community in Action. These four programs effectively reach any age group. T!E combines energy efficiency products that families install at home with the behavioral training necessary to maximize savings. The school-to-home approach employed by T!E is a sure way to get your efficiency message into homes while garnering significant measured and verified energy savings.
Energy efficiency works best when the whole household works as a team. That is why NEF has developed T!E with unique strategies for each age demographic. Any of the four programs, Bright Kids, Take Action!, Innovation and Community in Action, can be mixed, matched and customized with content, branding and scope to reach even the most ambitious energy efficiency goals.
