Efficiency Vermont is seeking applications from town energy committees, municipalities, regional planning commissions, and other entities to implement the Vermont Community Energy Mobilization Project (VCEM) Project in 2010. The VCEM project is based on the premise that local energy committees and other local community groups offer great promise for helping Vermont increase energy efficiency in residential buildings.
VCEM is an intensive four-month community-based effort designed to achieve quantifiable reductions in home energy use, stimulate an increase in the number of comprehensive energy retrofits, and increase awareness and understanding by Vermonters of home energy savings opportunities and resources. VCEM relies on community volunteers to conduct “home energy visits” to install energy saving products, conduct walk-through home energy assessments, and confer with property owners about energy saving opportunities in their homes.
Efficiency Vermont has established a statewide goal under the VCEM Project of achieving 100 comprehensive energy efficiency retrofits through the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program in 2010.
The Rutland Regional Planning Commission will work with any interested communities to form a consortium .
Applications are due by November 23rd, 2009.
