About this original series
What happens when teams of ordinary citizens turn the spotlight on their own homes and communities—-when they compete to make the best use of energy efficiency programs, products, and methods? The Energy Smackdown is a pilot for a community-based reality contest that follows the story of three families from Medford, Massachusetts as they assume the role of energy efficiency hounds on the "hunt" to reduce energy use in their homes and communities.
