BUTTON UP WORKSHOP TO BE HELD
SPRINGFIELD TOWN LIBRARY NOVEMBER 30 AT 7:00 PM
ORGANIZATION PRESENTS ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR HOMEOWNERS
The Springfield Town Library will be hosting a Button Up Vermont workshop on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 7:00 pm at the library. Button Up Vermont is an informational session designed to help Vermonters learn the basics of building science and how to improve energy efficiency in their homes.
The free workshop was originally developed in 2008 by Central Vermont Community Action Council and is offered this year in partnership with Efficiency Vermont. It includes an overview of why building efficiency is so important here in Vermont, illustrates how homes lose energy, and outlines clear steps that homeowners can take to address this energy loss. A BPI-certified contractor is the main presenter and questions are encouraged. A short session on woodstove safety will be conducted by the Springfield Fire Department as part of this workshop.
Owners of homes and businesses in Springfield and the surrounding area are invited to attend the two-hour session to learn about actions they can take to lower energy bills and make their homes and businesses more comfortable and affordable.
“We’re offering this workshop in Springfield because with rising heating costs, everyone needs to be thinking about ways to make their homes more efficient,” said Russ Moore, Library Director. “We hope that by sharing this information, we can help our residents be more comfortable in their homes and get more control of their heating expenses.”
Button Up Vermont workshops are being offered in communities around the state this fall and winter. To find a workshop, or to find information about hosting one in your community, visit buttonupvt.com.
