Energy Efficient Retrofits in New York
A jobs programme in New York State is helping residents retrofit their homes to become more energy efficient. The Green Jobs/Green NY financing programme provides low cost loans so that those who qualify can conserve energy. This will not only save them money on their monthly utility bills but will also help to decrease overall demand for energy, which will in turn reduce the number of power plants the state needs to build and maintain.
NYSERDA, the state agency in New York for energy research and development, has released participation data for January and February, revealing that those two months reflect record participation in the programme. In the first month of 2011 alone over 800 homes were retrofitted.
Low cost loans are not the only service provided through the programme. Homeowners who qualify can also receive energy audits of their home to help them understand their true energy needs and how those needs can be reduced. Audits are available free or on a low cost basis.
At present the programme serves only single family residences, but plans are underway to open up participation to other types of buildings in the near future, including multifamily dwellings and small commercial establishments. Not-for-profit institutions will also be allowed to participate in the expanded programme when it gets underway.
Alternative investments in retrofitting technologies can help create jobs as well as preserve the environment through the energy savings realised through programmes such as this one in New York.
