Read the passage.
In a coastal town in Maine, the city council wanted to reduce electricity use in public buildings. In February (2022), they began a project at Harborview Library. An energy audit is a careful check of how a building uses energy. The audit team measured how much power the lights, computers, and heaters used each day.
First, workers replaced 48 old light bulbs with LED bulbs. Then they installed motion sensors in the meeting rooms, so lights turned off when no one was inside. Next, the librarian, Ms. Patel, placed signs near the doors that said, "Please close the door to keep warm air in." Finally, the council set the thermostat two degrees lower after closing time.
After six weeks, the library's electric bill dropped from $1,120 to $860. Ms. Patel said, "We didn't buy new computers, but we still saved money." Visitors also reported that the building felt just as comfortable as before.
Based on the passage, what can you conclude about the project's results?
