Question

during the past five decades, dallas population has nearly doubled—growing from 679,000 in 1960 to more than 1.2 million people today. to support this rapid growth, develop a sustainable community and reduce dallas impact on the electrical grid, the city created the green dallas initiative with support from the energy departments energy efficiency and conservation block grant (eecbg) program. using some of its eecbg funds, dallas focused on improving the energy efficiency of 248 city - owned buildings, totaling 3.3 million square feet. following energy audits, the city made energy efficiency improvements that included upgrading to energy - efficient indoor lighting at more than 150 buildings and installing digital hvac controls—technology that allows the city to monitor energy use and continuously adjust the systems to increase efficiencies and reduce energy consumption—in 100 city - owned facilities. according to the passage how has dallas adapted its energy consumption in response to its changing population? as dallas population has grown its energy use has increased at a similar rate. as dallas population has grown, it has found ways to use energy more efficiently. as dallas population has grown, it has found ways to use energy more efficiently. as dallas population has grown, its energy use and costs have declined dramatically. as dallas population has grown, its energy use has remained unchanged.

Explanation:

The passage states that as Dallas' population grew, the city created the Green Dallas Initiative with EECBG Program support. It focused on improving energy - efficiency of city - owned buildings through upgrades and installations to reduce energy consumption.

Answer:

As Dallas' population has grown, it has found ways to use energy more efficiently.
