HONESDALE — Learn about energy efficiency, energy conservation, and energy usage in buildings at a "Lunch and Learn" workshop starting at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday March 30, at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St., in Honesdale.
The program, "Lower Utility Bills for Your Organization," is sponsored by the Sustainable Energy Fund and SEEDS (Sustainable Energy Education and Development Support) of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Participants will learn:
Common energy management barriers and how to overcome them
Simple steps your organization can take to assess your energy usage, set goals, and implement an action plan
How lighting, HVAC, and the building envelope play a role in your utility bill
This workshop will help all facilities and maintenance staff and volunteers implement energy-efficiency improvements for their organization.
This event is free for non-profit organizations and $35 for for-profit organizations. Lunch, catered by Monique Milleson from Ant Hill Farms, will be provided.
Registration is required. Visit nonprofitenergymakeover.org and click on the button for Honesdale (toward the bottom) to register online.
Makeover contestParticipants will also learn about the Sustainable Energy Fund’s Nonprofit Energy Makeover Contest, and how to enter their favorite non-profit for an energy efficiency makeover. The winning non-profit, which must be located in the PPL service area, will receive a major energy efficiency building retrofit that will produce dramatic savings. The energy savings can be used to further the non-profit’s mission. SEEDS is helping promote the contest hoping that one of the area’s non-profits might be selected.
