HUDSON – Button Up New Hampshire, the popular home energy savings workshop series, is coming virtually to the Hudson area. It will take place on Zoom with screen and audio over the internet, from 7-8:30 a.m. on Sept. 21, including a live Q and A time. The workshop is hosted by the Hudson Sustainability Committee and the Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce. It is sponsored by NHSaves and coordinated statewide by the Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative.

NHSaves is a collaboration of New Hampshire’s electric and natural gas utilities (Eversource, Liberty Utilities, NH Electric Cooperative and Unitil). The utilities are working together to provide NH customers with information, incentives, and support designed to save energy, reduce costs, and protect the NH environment. PAREI of Plymouth, NH is working with local groups around the state to bring these workshops to the public on behalf of New Hampshire’s utilities.

This NHSaves Button Up Workshop is a 1.5 hour presentation about how to improve the energy efficiency of your home. It is conducted by a certified energy auditor and covers basic building science principles as well as examples of whole house weatherization measures that will button up your home for the heating and cooling seasons.  It also covers details about the energy efficiency programs offered by NH utilities (for existing homes and new construction) that provide energy audits, weatherization measures such as air sealing and insulating and rebates on new technologies and products such as electric and gas appliances and high efficiency electric heating/cooling equipment.

NH residents wishing to use energy more efficiently, conserve energy and save money on their heating and cooling bills, will find the workshop presentation very helpful. Please email hudsonsustainability@gmail.com for the digital Zoom link or questions regarding this Virtual Button Up.

Workshop organizers also recommend the public sign up with NHSaves Facebook and Twitter pages for up to date information on energy saving tips and programs.
