AN OPPORTUNITY for the RESIDENTS of LOWELL
Most homeowners are stretched to the limit trying to keep up with their energy bills.

    Unfortunately things are likely to get much worse in the years to come. So even though you have been responsible in the past by tightening up your building and upgrading to efficient equipment, more drastic steps may become necessary.

    0EnergyHome-1Throughout the world, the US, and New England, homes with a net zero consumption of energy have been popping up.

    Most of these are new construction but a few retrofits (a much more challenging endeavor). The prevelant building type and configuration in Lowell makes for an even more complicated task, but there are many sources of technical and financial assistance to help you on your way.

    Our ultimate goal is to transform the

    homes of Lowell into ones with

          $0.00 Fuel Bills and

          $0.00 Electric Bills
