Reducing Energy Expenses in Public Buildings, Commercial Facilities and Homes

As thermometers drop and energy prices climb this fall, public agencies and local residents can learn no- and low-cost ways to save on energy bills by attending the free educational workshops “Reducing Energy Expenses
in Public Buildings, Commercial Facilities and Homes,” sponsored by the State Energy Office (SEO) of the N.C. Department of Administration and the E-Conservation Program of North Carolina Cooperative Extension.

Public agency operations and facilities staff will benefit from attending the morning or evening sessions, and local businesses and nonprofit organizations are invited to attend these workshops as well. Homeowners and renters are encouraged to attend the residentially-focused workshops which will be held in the evenings. Dates and times for all workshops are listed below.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how to implement energy-saving measures in their homes and businesses. The workshops will also include energy-saving tips and information on assistance offered by the E-Conservation Program and the SEO and its partners that can further help businesses and residents reduce their energy costs.

Registration for the programs is required. Contact your local county extension office to register.
