The Rutland Regional Planning Commission, in conjunction with Efficiency Vermont, will offer a training session for volunteers interested in the countywide Vermont Community Energy Mobilization Project.
Volunteers will be trained to conduct free home energy visits designed to help homeowners learn about energy-saving opportunities. They will install compact fluorescent light bulbs and water-saving devices as well as provide more information and special incentives to save more energy. The home energy visit identifies homes that would be good candidates for a professional energy audit and comprehensive energy efficiency home improvements through a certified Vermont Weatherization or Home Performance with an ENERGY STAR contractor.
Call Susan Schreibman at (802) 775-0871, ext. 204, for more information.
Home visits will be coordinated in 15 Rutland County communities: Benson, Brandon, Castleton, Danby, Fair Haven, Killington, Mendon, Pittsford, Poultney, Rutland City, Rutland Town, Shrewsbury, Tinmouth, Wallingford, West Haven, and West Rutland. Volunteers from other towns are always welcome.
