Greenfield Energy Solutions (GES) has been chosen as one of only three pilot cities in Ohio to develop new social marketing strategies that will bring increased energy efficiency to local households. GES hopes to bring increased awareness of the many benefits of energy efficiency to Greenfield residents. The organization will also act as a point-organization for homeowners by helping them identify the best ways to upgrade their home. The partnership with GES is part of an Ohio Development of Development program to educate homeowners on energy efficiency options and the incentives available. Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy is overseeing the state-guided program.
Founded in 2011, GES is a local grassroots non-profit organization all volunteer staff is dedicated to maximizing the energy efficiency of Greenfield residences, with a particular focus on low-income housing. GES mission statement: To educate and promote the ideas of saving energy, money and protecting the environment of Greater Greenfield to the citizens of Greenfield.
With the help of OPAE, GES will train four Energy Assessors and a number of Energy Ambassadors who will work one-on-one with Greenfield residents to identify the best ways to make their homes more efficient. Additionally, the Energy Assessors and Energy Ambassadors will be able to help residents understand and choose among the many free and reduced-rate programs already available that target heating, insulation, and other large-scale projects.
"All of us want our homes to be healthy and efficient,” says committee chair of GES Sam Bowers, "and to be able to save money. But it's not always obvious to the average person what the problem is, what needs fixing, or how to do it. This program will empower our community to help themselves and each other." Not only will we be able to save money on our energy bills but we will also reduce the carbon foot print as well.
