A resolution designating October 2, 2024, as "Energy Efficiency Day" in celebration of the economic and environmental benefits that have been driven by private sector innovation and Federal energy efficiency policies.

SRES 885 is a non-binding Senate resolution designating October 2, 2024, as "Energy Efficiency Day." It commemorates the economic and environmental benefits achieved through existing private sector innovation and federal energy efficiency policies since the 1970s, such as the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2015. The resolution has no direct effect on individuals, businesses, or policy implementation - it solely encourages public observance through programs and activities. It references historical achievements like $1 trillion in annual energy cost savings and a 50% reduction in energy intensity in federal facilities. The resolution reflects bipartisan recognition of energy efficiency progress but does not create new laws or requirements.
