The Woodlands G.R.E.E.N. Presents: Energy Efficiency-For The Home and The Environment

Everyone knows that energy efficiency can save money and is good for the environment. But where do we start? In this presentation, Jennifer will discuss how and where to evaluate energy use in your own home; measures that are typically cost effective, which ones are best for you, and the programs that may be able to help you be more efficient. She will also discuss the relationship between water and energy production and distribution—the less energy we use, the more water we save.
