REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings and Cities Replace Manual ThermostatsHow do you anticipate replacing your thermostats for smart ones will positively impact your life?
Christopher Judge 3/26/2019 12:05 PMAside from just the cool factor, the thermostat I have right now is kind of old inefficient and i really don't know how it works. Getting a smart thermostat will bring an actual usefulness to my thermostat, plus with housemates, I can make sure no one is cranking the heat up when im out and paying the bill!! -

With the integration of literail and other modes of public transit, plus better awareness and transit incentives for discount fare like monthly passes and ecopass in Denver, more people are using public transit safely and conveniently. There is still a LONG way to go, but it is getting a lot better
