Retrofits for Non-Profit Organizations

Does your organization, or one you know, own a building that is in need of energy efficiency upgrades? Would you like to learn how to take action to lower your organization’s monthly energy bills? BrightBuilt Retrofit, a collaboration among US Green Building Council, Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, Green Building Advisor, and BuildingGreen, LLC, is excited to announce an energy conservation initiative open to non-profit organizations in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont that want to reduce the carbon footprint of their buildings. Through an open source, community-based process, BrightBuilt Retrofit aims to demonstrate the affordability and accessibility of deep energy retrofits in colder climates. All non-profit applicants will receive access to online resources and support for lowering energy bills; the selected organization will receive more than $100,000 in cash, loans and services to carry out the building renovations with a team of green building professionals. The application deadline is September 15, 2010.
