Dear Ammen

2010 is starting out to be an exciting year for energy efficiency and renewable energy supporters.  Community Energy Solutions is happy to tell you that our Community Smart Power Program is taking shape.  Already, over ten families have gone through the energy audit (home performance analysis), and are on the path to add more comfort to their home while saving energy.  More than thirty people have attended the energy audit field trips, and heard unbiased advice from experienced home performance professionals in how to improve one's home energy efficiency. 

Join your friends and neighbors at the next energy audit field trip on Saturday, February 27, 2010.  Details below.
