Arizona Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Community Outreach Program
Desert Willow Conference Center (map)
You're invited to attend a FREE Arizona Energy Efficiency Community Outreach program to educate consumer and commercial customers on energy efficiency projects and federal and utility incentive programs. The event is being held in Tempe at 10:30 am on 4/16. (address is below)
Did you know that single people waste 53% more energy than a family of three people? Click here to find out why.
To solve this problem, the Department of Energy has pledged more $63 million to Arizona energy efficiency improvement programs.
Arizona also will receive $112 million to fund weatherization and energy efficiency projects – including $57 million for a Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) and $55 million to fund a state energy program.
Arizona Energy Efficiency Programs
Arizona Home Energy Audits - A home energy audit is often the first step in making your home more efficient. Click here for a list of Arizona Home Energy Auditors.
Building Airspace Envelopes - Over $95 billion is spent every year to to heat and cool buildings. Sealing and insulating the "envelope" or "shell" of your home — its air ducts, outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors — is often the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
CFL Lightbulbs - If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs.
Low-Income Weatherization Projects - On average, household energy bills account for about 16% of a low-income families gross income. Weatherizing your home puts money back in your pocket.
Presentations will be include:
***********************
Arizona Home Energy Audits - Daran Wastchak, D.R. Wastchak, L.L.C will cover conducting home energy audits to show consumers how the most cost-effective ways to reduce the energy bills such as sealing building envelopes and installing Energy Star appliances that reduce energy consumption.

Thomas PidduckI am high on the Arizona Solar Society association. It seems that you are active in attempting to generate networking and internet correspondence
. After attending my second conference today, i have come to the conclusion that you are bringing in too many guest speakers per conference. With both events that I have attended to date, the venues are not ideal for the non professional speakers and the guest speakers are not being held to a tight timeline schedule.
Perhaps one half the number of speakers and more time given to ask questions while the attendees are not worn down by the strain of dim lighted visuals and less than consistant speaker deliveries would create a more positve experience for the attendees.
You asked.
Thomas Pidduck,
