Neighborhood Energy Retrofit Programs
Program Seeks to Cut Energy Costs
(The Durham News 11/24)
Durham’s Neighborhood Energy Retrofit Program is seeking to make homes in the city of Durham more energy efficient. By sealing air leaks in heating and air conditioning ductwork, installing programmable thermostats and better insulating homes, the city is helping its citizens save money and reduce their environmental footprint. The Neighborhood Energy Retrofit Program hopes to retrofit 700 homes by the end of 2011. The program is funded by grants from the Environmental Protection Agency and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
