Welcome to our first in a series that highlights area organizations dedicated to collaboration, addressing carbon emissions, climate change, housing, transportation and other issues that impact all of us.

While we may think “less pollution” and “reduced carbon emissions” when we think of switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources for electricity generation, there’s a lot more sizzle in the switch.

With everything that’s measured, there has to be a benchmark, a starting point. And that’s true for measuring the energy efficiency of a home.

We’re employing technology to monitor the success of our energy reduction strategies. And, with this technology, homeowners can monitor, modify and remotely control many aspect
