Energy Volunteer Training in Poultney on Thursday, January 28

Do you want to help your neighbors save money while also saving energy?

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.

A volunteer training session will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on January 28 in the East Room at Green Mountain College’s Withey Student Center.

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.
