00:02.315 --> 00:05.378
- [Narrator] The Resident Energy Conservation Program,

00:05.378 --> 00:09.545
or RECP, was created by the DoD to improve the environment.

00:11.123 --> 00:15.096
This program places each home in a like type group,

00:15.096 --> 00:18.096
which takes into account type, size,

00:18.514 --> 00:21.467
and the age of your home, as well as other factors

00:21.467 --> 00:24.300
that influence energy consumption.

00:24.317 --> 00:27.150
And this way your home energy costs

00:27.150 --> 00:31.050
will be proportioned fairly to each of your homes.

00:31.050 --> 00:33.837
The range of normal consumption for your home

00:33.837 --> 00:35.962
shown on your monthly bill

00:35.962 --> 00:39.696
will include zones above and below the average.

00:39.696 --> 00:42.413
If you stay within the range of normal consumption

00:42.413 --> 00:45.588
you will not notice any difference in your bill.

00:45.588 --> 00:47.963
Use more than the acceptable range

00:47.963 --> 00:51.333
and you will be responsible for the extra usage.

00:51.333 --> 00:54.072
If your consumption is less than the normal range

00:54.072 --> 00:57.155
you'll receive a rebate on your bill.

00:57.443 --> 00:58.592
Energy conservation is important

00:58.592 --> 01:01.509
to the nation and our armed forces.

01:01.741 --> 01:04.766
By encouraging and and incentivizing energy conservation

01:04.766 --> 01:08.230
for families living in privatized family housing,

01:08.230 --> 01:10.813
RECP can save energy and money.

01:12.035 --> 01:15.686
The funds saved by RECP will be used to improve homes,

01:15.686 --> 01:19.519
playgrounds, community centers, and therefore,

01:19.863 --> 01:21.613
your quality of life.

01:22.140 --> 01:25.546
