The results are often surprising: forgotten chargers, lights left on, heating systems running unnecessarily. \u201cOnce people collect their own data,\u201d Ms. Moreno explains, \u201cthey start seeing energy everywhere\u2014and they realize how much control they actually have.\u201d<\/p><p>The\u00a0<strong>AURORA Guide<\/strong>\u00a0helps her adapt each session to the audience, providing clear goals, timing, and materials so that anyone can replicate the experience.
