The city council of Fairweather has proposed a new initiative aimed at reducing energy consumption in municipal buildings. The plan includes upgrading to energy-efficient lighting, installing smart thermostats, and encouraging employees to adopt energy-saving practices. Proponents of the initiative argue that by taking these steps, the city can significantly decrease its energy expenditure and contribute to a more sustainable environment.

However, some council members question whether the planned upgrades will lead to substantial energy savings. They argue that without significant changes in employee behavior, the initiative may not achieve its desired goals. To strengthen their argument, proponents seek evidence that supports their claim regarding the potential effectiveness of these measures.
