ROTARY CLUB OF CAMBRIDGE OFFERS

HOME ENERGY AUDITS THROUGH NEEECO!

The International Panel on Climate Change urges all countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 45% by 2030 to keep the earth warming less than 1.5 degrees C. 


Buildings cause 25% of GHG emissions. Businesses and residents overlook the obvious solution of weatherizing their house - insulation, better windows and doors. New England Energy Efficiency Co, a Mass Save contractor, will conduct the energy audit and make a donation to ROTARY!!!

 

Email Susan Butler sbutler@tufts.edu or contact nvclimatec@gmail.com to schedule your audit.


Provide your name - INDICATE ROTARY after your last name, email cell phone and home address and your average electric bill. Eastern MA residents only.
