GRESHAM, Ore. - The City of Gresham is offering two free energy efficiency information fairs on Saturday, Jan. 19 and 26, to raise awareness in the community about the benefits of energy conservation and the opportunities to increase energy efficiency at home.
"Energy efficiency and conservation strategies provide residents with two great benefits, a more comfortable home and savings on their energy bills," said Nicole Cousino, energy program coordinator. Regardless of whether one owns or rents, lives in a single family home, mobile home, apartment or condominium, there are no cost, low cost and advanced energy efficiency opportunities and incentives available," Cousino added.
At the fairs, representatives from the Energy Trust of Oregon and Multnomah County's Weatherization and Energy Services will be available to answer questions about incentives and assistance opportunities. Indow Windows will display their locally manufactured window inserts and Home Depot will showcase products and techniques for DIY weatherization. Educational presentations and videos will be screened throughout the day, and the Water Division will distribute free Home Water Conservation Kits. Complimentary hot beverages and pastries sponsored by the Energy Trust.
