SLCO Energy Smart Program
Energy Smart
Program
Kicks Off Saturday
The public is invited to a free open house Saturday as Salt Lake County launches its new Energy Smart Program. It’s a chance for residents to learn key strategies to reduce household energy consumption.
Energy Smart will be administered by the County’s division of Community Resources and Development will combine some existing County services with the new initiative, Home Performance with Energy Star (HPwES).
The well known Energy Star system rates the energy efficiency of appliances and also supports a program to rate the energy performance of homes. This “whole house” approach is used to review the overall condition of a home, its heating and cooling systems, appliances, insulation and sealing to determine the best way to increase energy efficiency.
The open house is scheduled for Saturday in Kearns to begin spreading the word about the Energy Smart Program. Residents will learn some easy ways to conserve energy. Applications for the program will be available.
Tree Utah will be at the open house to give away some trees as well as provide savvy tips for planting and maintenance.
There will be a giveaway of gift bags full of books, tools and tips on how to conserve energy. The whole family is invited. There will be a bounce house and plenty of kid’s activities to keep them happy and entertained.
