Another year is in the books, and Daylight Hour 2017 was a huge success! 100 million square feet of office space in 17 countries participated in the event, reaching over 10 million people on social media!
Together, by turning the lights off for just one hour, we saved enough energy to offset 310,00 miles driven in a passenger vehicle and to power 9,400 homes for a full day.
In honor of their commitment to this campaign, we have given awards to some of our most enthusiastic and far reaching participants. Check out our website to find out who had the most participating offices, who created the best video, who did the best monitoring and analysis, and so much more!
