On February 22, from 2:30 to 5:00 pm, Skagit County’s Sustainability Office will host an open house to kickoff the Skagit County Community Energy Challenge (“SCEC”). This program was designed to encourage and facilitate residential energy efficiency.
This program will help homeowners achieve energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and creation of wildlife habitat.
The program will provide a home energy assessment and report which will show homeowners opportunities on how to lower their home bills through insulation, air sealing, and other measures. The assessment, normally valued at $500-$600, will only cost the homeowner $95, and is the only cost for this program. The remainder of the cost is being funded by a grant to Skagit County from the U.S. Department of Energy through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The SCEC provides valuable information to homeowners on how to make their home more sustainable (including rebate and incentive programs), and the necessary steps to make these recommended improvements.
The open house will be held in the lobby of the Skagit County Commissioners Administrative Building located at 1800 Continental Place in Mount Vernon. Those interested in attending the program can email SkagitCEC@co.skagit.wa.us or call (360) 419-7607.
