EnergyWorks Program – EnergyWorks is an integrated residential home energy efficiency pilot program that combines green job training, workforce development, low-cost energy savings installation and youth educational components to address multiple pressing community needs. The primary structure of the program is based around an energy audit and a regime of energy saving items under $100 that is installed in around 2 hours by a three-person crew of green jobs interns, at no cost to the homeowner. For information and to see if your home qualifies contact Daniel Werwath, 989-3960.
