Costs“Our energy bills have plummeted, and we couldn’t be happier with the aesthetic and fiscal results.”— Karen Stanley, Connecticut homeowner

Careers“I would have been in the unemployment line if it weren’t for this (energy assessment job). I’m a pretty small fish, but it’s been a huge difference to me.”— Mark McLain, Carbondale, CO, architect
