Residential Energy Score Project – A Model for Advancing Energy Efficiency – A Climate Smart Communities Webinar

Thursday, February 9, 2017 at 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Wouldn’t it be great to understand a home’s energy efficiency like a car’s miles per gallon? This Climate Smart Communities (CSC) webinar will describe a voluntary program in Tompkins County where homeowners would get an “energy score” for their home that could be shared with prospective buyers, tenants, or other interested parties. A home energy score is a succinct summary of the energy efficiency and physical structure of a residential building.

The Residential Energy Score Project seeks to create strong market demand for energy efficiency in existing houses and, by extension, to reduce utility costs for homeowners, to increase energy literacy, and to help promote sustainability goals.

Please provide us with your name and community affiliation, either via email or telephone to the Office of Climate Change at climatechange@dec.ny.gov or 518-402-8448. In the event that we cancel or postpone this webinar, respondents will be notified.
