BRATTLEBORO — Weatherization works to save home dwellers money by increasing the insulation and air sealing of residences.
Southeastern Vermont Community Action (SEVCA) will present a workshop virtually and in person on Monday, Feb. 6, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Brooks Memorial Library in the meeting room, upstairs next to the children’s room.
Affordable weatherization programs are available for renters, homeowners, and landlords. SEVCA’s Financial and Energy Coach Kevin O’Brien will discuss these programs and options and guide participants through the process. Community partners like Efficiency Vermont, Heat Squad, and the Vermont State Employees Credit Union (VSECU) all have programs that work toward weatherizing as many homes as possible.
SEVCA has its own nationally recognized weatherization team that can go beyond insulation and air sealing to look into heating systems. “The cost savings realized for an individual also has a huge positive environmental impact at the state level because of the reduction of heating fuels needed to keep the weatherized spaces more comfortable for Vermonters,” they say.
The workshop is presented through SEVCA’s Green Saving Smart program, which works to guide Vermonters to a sustainable financial future. For more information, contact O’Brien at kobrien@sevca.org.
