Upcoming Meetings

The Green Institute, Center for Energy and Environment and the Neighborhood Energy Connection with proceeds from the Minnesota Lottery and Xcel Energy are putting on Energy Efficiency Workshops for homeowners.  They have gone neighborhood by neighborhood conducting workshops and having residents sign up for Home Visits.

Teams of two to four construction professionals and Americorps volunteers come to the home of people who have signed up for help and do a quick inspection to see what the house needs.  They bring bundles including programmable thermostats, compact fluorescent light bulbs, weather stripping for doors and windows, water heater blankets, faucet aerators and low-flow shower heads, which they will install on the spot

You also will receive a comparison of your home's energy consumption to that of your neighbors, to let you see how much energy you have saved.
