Energy Star House stops in Chicago

Join the fun with GE, the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA), and ComEd, who will host the Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR exhibit at Navy Pier. During this October weekend, Navy Pier is transformed into Navy Fear, with fun Halloween activities all day for all ages. The custom-built exhibit will be stationed right outside the Children’s Museum at Gateway Park. GE’s own ‘Mad Scientist’ booth will be across the pier; this interactive laboratory will be a fun way to illustrate the science behind energy-saving light bulbs, with lots of interactive gadgets including meter comparators, energy bikes, fun ‘monster mash’ music, and beakers with dry ice, for effect. Coupons, brochures, and giveaways will be provided. Don’t miss out, this event is sure to be a scream!

Take a room-by-room tour of the home and learn about ways to save with energy-efficient practices and ENERGY STAR qualified products, such as:

* Lighting
* Electronics
* Home Sealing and Insulation
* Appliances
* Office Equipment
* Heating and Cooling Equipment

While you’re there, take the ENERGY STAR Pledge to join in the fight against global warming. And if you’ve already made energy-efficient changes to your home, inspire others to do the same! Each event will have a “testimonial booth” where you can record your individual energy-saving story about how you have made a positive change for the environment.
