Yearly "Celebration Points" are forums for communicating and celebrating accomplishment, and for promoting the conversations and stories about Cleveland that will transform the city. 2011 will be a year-long focus on energy efficiency as a driver for economic transformation. A summary of the vision and goals can be found on page 18 of the SC2019 Action and Resources Guide. The following is an excerpt from that chapter:

Energy efficiency on a house hold level is extremely relevant within the Cleveland context, as the city has relatively old housing stock and a cold climate for achieving energy savings for low-income people by applying building retrofits, such as replacing windows or upgrading insulation. Homeowners and renters could save up to 4% of their income by investing in retrofits, increasing wealth and money that can be spent locally and contributing to a more resilient and prosperous economy for Cleveland.
