Energy Resources - Homes & Communities
Homeowners and business across the state can contribute to a clean energy economy in many ways. Large facilities might opt for a biomass heating system for their multi-building campus. Transportation companies can update fleets with hybrid or flex-fuel vehicles. Schools can erect a wind turbine or harness the sun’s energy to power their classrooms. The possibilities are endless.
One of the most urgent needs is to update energy efficiency in homes and workplaces. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is providing tax credits worth 30% of the investment for improving energy efficiency through insulation, windows, duct seals, and heating and cooling systems. Colorado is offering its own rebates and provides great incentives for low-income families to do the same. This list of links will get you started on understanding all you can do. Remember: it begins at home.
