In FY19 [July 2018 – June 2019], the NEC continued its work on home weatherization and residential solar installations, and non-car and non-fossil transportation.
Through the Committee's 7th Solarize campaign in 2018, with Norwich Solar Technologies and Solaflect Energy, 23 additional households chose solar electricity through 12/2018 (a total of about 22% of residences). The 8th Solarize campaign started in the first half of 2019, including for a new community solar array off Union Village Road. The NEC worked with Efficiency Vermont (EVT) on the 2018-19 “Button Up Hero” program. 52 households signed up for a free walk-through with a contractor and professional weatherization recommendation. This was the third-highest town total across the state, after Essex/Essex Junction and Williston. The NEC also helped Efficiency VT contact rental unit owners to offer consultations on efficiency improvements to their buildings. The NEC got Town data active in the Energy Star Portfolio Manager and explored options for an updated audit of Tracy Hall. This resulted in a Request for Qualifications, to select an energy performance company to do an audit of the Town facilities and make recommendations. Other activities:
