Public Works, Energy & Utilities MMA wraps up free energy-saving seminars
More than 60 Massachusetts communities hosted the energy-savings presentations, which discussed cost-effective investments, do-it-yourself solutions, cost-reduction, the Energy Star rating system, and home audit information.
Host communities could choose any one of the following four available seminars:
• “Introduction to Home Energy Savings” provides simple steps to reducing the use of electricity, water, and heat; do-it-yourself techniques for basic home sealing and heating; and resources for financing home audits and alterations.
• “Home Energy Savings for Renters” provides tenant-specific information on basic home energy savings.
• “Home Energy Savings for Retirees” provides information specifically designed for seniors.
• “Weatherizing Your Home for Ultimate Savings” stresses the importance of reducing heat usage by providing do-it-yourself sealing techniques; tips on hiring a contractor for in-depth alterations; and resources for home audits and financing alternatives.
Host communities were expected to secure a meeting location; help with set-up; and assist in publicizing the workshop through Web sites, e-mails, networking, flier distribution, and media outlets.
There was no cost to the host community. The seminars were provided with support from Neptune LNG LLC, a subsidiary of GDF SUEZ Gas North America.
