Now, Energy Awareness Days
Energy conservation and cost-savings for homeowners who act to reduce their energy consumption will be the focus of two inaugural Energy Awareness Days presented by East Hampton Town and PSEG Long Island on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The events will “highlight the town’s energy goals, ways that residents and businesses can save money, and the role that the collective town plays in addressing critical energy issues on the South Fork,” Supervisor Larry Cantwell and David Daly, PSEG Long Island’s chief operating officer, said in a joint press release.
Hands-on training and field-testing of energy-efficient construction standards will be demonstrated in the Green Jobs Training Center’s mobile lab. A project of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the lab is designed to operate like a traditional residence in order to teach visitors about how energy-efficient improvements would function in their homes.
At the same time, East Hampton will also be a stop on the Proof Is Possible nationwide tour of the Tiny Lab, a high-performance tiny house on wheels piloted by Grace and Corbett Lunsford, a husband-and-wife team working to promote energy-efficient houses and illustrate their performance.
Visits to both mobile units will be offered from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesday at East Hampton Town Hall and on Wednesday at the Montauk Playhouse.
PSEG Long Island and the town will provide information for residential and commercial energy consumers, and PSEG will offer rebates on items such as energy-efficient appliances and swimming pool pumps. Information will also be provided on free home energy performance audits.
Those seeking information have been invited to call John Sousa-Botos at the town’s Natural Resources Department at 631-324-0496 or email him at jbotos@ehamptonny.
