Want to know how your home can save you money?
Often the hardest part about home improvements is knowing where to start. $ave Energy NEK is a group of volunteers from several local towns that are willing to support their communities, their neighbors – YOU – to improve energy efficiency. We are here to listen to your needs, help answer your questions, and direct you to trusted knowledgeable professionals that you can work with to take the first step.
The Greensboro Free Library with support of the town was awarded several MERP (Municipal Energy and Resilience Project) grant opportunities.
- A $4,000 grant to heighten awareness around the importance of weatherization which we used to hold a number of educational programs.
- A “free” level two energy assessment which helped identify areas of the library building needing energy efficiency improvements.
- An implementation grant for $121,500 to carry out the energy efficiency work required.
The goal of our efforts is to make the library building more comfortable, more energy efficient and healthier for our patrons.
The scope of work will include
1. the insulation and the insulation and air sealing of the building basements
2. installing a ventilation system and heat pumps
3. replacing windows in the new wing
4. a battery back up system
As this project progresses we will share updates with the community and invite folks to check out our weatherization efforts
