Button Up NH
ATKINSON-The Atkinson Energy Committee is hosting “Button Up NH”, a home weatherization workshop, on Sat., February 6, from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon, at Kimball Public Library. The workshop is free and open to all people interested in making their home more energy efficient.
The Button Up workshops are conducted by qualified home energy experts who will introduce homeowner-participants to the basics of home energy budgets and the value of home weatherization. Each workshop will include information on how simple household adjustments and modest investments can lead to significant energy savings over the long haul. Workshop topics will include: residential heat use and loss, the short term benefits of simple do-it-yourself weatherization, the value of a professional home energy audit, the long term benefits of extensive professional energy retrofits, and the technical and financial resources available to make it happen.
The Button Up program was pioneered in Vermont and proved to be highly successful. It is offered in New Hampshire through Clean Air – Cool Planet and the New England Carbon Challenge. Atkinson is one of only nine New Hampshire communities selected to host the workshop this winter. Residents from surrounding communities are welcome to join Atkinson residents in conserving energy in our homes.
