Energy Efficiency

Harnessing your energy efficiency opportunities are the first order of business when considering renewable energy options. It is easy to underestimate the benefits that you can gain from making simple changes to lighting, power shutdown features on consumer electronics, and filter changes for mechanical systems. Please take the time to download the Energy Checklist for Action document produced by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (www.aceee.org). This resource will almost certainly empower you to take graduated steps over the next few days, weeks, months, and year towards reducing the legacy costs your energy use. I know that it has empowered my home and business.

The Tax Incentives Assistance Project has produced two documents to assist Homeowners and Business's while navigating the landscape of federal and state incentives.

 As a compliment to the Energy Checklist for Action take the time to download the Home Energy Briefs produced by the Rocky Mountain Institute (http://www.rmi.org/rmi/). The briefs paint a broad picture of both technologies and strategies to empower you to take bigger and bolder steps towards energy independence.
