Project Green Light
Project Green Light is designed to address the multi-faceted problem of incandescent light bulb inefficiency and consumer wariness of compact fluorescent light bulbs. In particular, Project Green Light aims to inform Charlottesville residents living in low-income housing1 about their energy options, helping to reduce their electric bills and carbon footprints.

Project Green Light is designed to address the multi-faceted problem of incandescent light bulb inefficiency and consumer wariness of compact fluorescent light bulbs. In particular, Project Green Light aims to inform Charlottesville residents living in low-income housing1 about their energy options, helping to reduce their electric bills and carbon footprints. Project Green Light revolves around three central objectives: light bulb exchange and research, education, and relationship building. Through a partnership with the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP), Project Green Light will replace the incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs in 30 partner families’ homes and begin a targeted educational campaign in the greater Charlottesville campaign. Ultimately, our findings will be communicated to a larger audience through a documentary and report in order to influence others to make energy efficient changes.
