The inaugural season of CORE’s Cool Credits smart thermostat program was a huge success.
More than 900 CORE members participated in at least one event between June 1 and Sept. 30. Together, they reduced energy consumption by more than 17,000 kilowatt-hours — equivalent to the energy required to wash and dry 3,000-plus loads of laundry.
Through Cool Credits, your thermostat’s temperate setting is adjusted by a few degrees during scheduled events to conserve energy. In addition to a $25 enrollment bonus, participants receive credits on their November CORE bills based on level of participation during the season. CORE plans to kick off a second season of Cool Credits ahead of Summer 2027.
