>Home Energy Saving Workshops Available for Vermont Communities
>
>Central Vermont Community Action Council (CVCAC), in partnership
>with the State of Vermont and the Vermont Energy and Climate Action
>Network (VECAN), will implement an intensive six-month public
>education program to mobilize Vermonters on how to save energy in
>their homes. Through a series of two-hour workshops around the
>state, citizens will learn about the fundamentals of how buildings
>lose energy and do-it-yourself opportunities for saving energy,
>including behavioral changes and low-cost weatherization
>measures. We are inviting you to sign up today for a Home Energy
>Savings Workshop in your community.
>
>This program will draw upon town energy committees and other
>community groups to coordinate workshops within each participating
>town. The goal of the program is to conduct home energy savings
>workshops in 100 communities -- reaching 10,000 households.
>Participating energy committees and civic groups will have primary
>responsibility for organizing the workshop for interested residents,
>distributing educational materials, working with local retailers to
>provide discounted weatherization materials, and publicizing the
>program in their communities.
>
>Workshops will be conducted by a select group of trained, certi ed
>energy auditors delivering a prepared presentation/slide show.
>Workshops are scheduled to begin in late-September. Button-Up,
>Vermont will provide educational and publicity materials and will
>arrange for a trained energy auditor to come to your community at
>no-cost. In late September, we will organize a series of regional
>brie ng sessions throughout the state to provide more information
>about the program. After hearing from you, we will follow-up with
>you about the times and availability of the briefing sessions in
>your area and how to participate in the program.
>
>If you are interested in having a Home Energy Saving Workshop in
>your community, please contact Diana Peduzzi, Assistant Coordinator,
