Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you!
The Biosphere Institute would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete our Energy Efficiency Education Survey! We received a total of 222 responses! We combined these data with information gathered from our focus group sessions to determine the topics and formats of most interest to you.
In response to your input, we will host three energy efficiency workshops in early 2020 focusing on Renewable Energy, Efficient Home Heating & Cooling and Project Financing.
