WORKSHOP SERIES

Free Energy Audits for Homeowners,
Businesses and Non-profits
Tuesday, May 3rd, 7:00 p.m.
Meredith Nierenberg, of Mid-Hudson Energy Smart Communities, will speak and answer questions on free and low-cost energy audits available through New York State. Audits identify energy efficiency improvements with short payback periods, leading to substantial short term energy and cost savings. Certified energy auditors perform an assessment using visual inspection, blower door tests, and testing with infrared equipment. Auditors also test for gas and carbon monoxide leaks. In addition to the audits, state funding is available through the same program to cover partial costs of recommended improvements.
