Quoting President Obama's Speech, "Upgrading the energy efficiency of America's buildings is one of the fastest, easiest, and cheapest ways to save money, cut down on harmful pollution, and create good jobs right now. But we can't wait for Congress to act. So today, I'm directing all federal agencies to make at least $2 billion worth of energy efficiency upgrades over the next two years -- at no up-front cost to the taxpayer. Coupled with today's extraordinary private sector commitments of $2 billion, to upgrade businesses, factories, and military housing, America is taking another big step towards the competitive, clean energy economy it will take to win the future."

CEO Ike Sutton commented, "The opening of our new DC office further solidifies SavWatt's presence. Being even closer to key decision makers and lobby groups will greatly benefit our cause. In addition, President Obama's speech for additional funding to make America's buildings more energy efficient will allow us more opportunities to prove the SavWatt brand is the light of the future."
