GV and GR partner for energy efficiency

Grand Valley State University and the City of Grand Rapids are joining up to provide free energy assessments to GVSU faculty and staff.

The program, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, cuts the cost of a home energy assessment from between $300 and $500 to $100 for those covered. Homeowners whose homes are assessed will receive a report outlining energy saving measures that would be most effective for the home including more efficient lighting and insulating pipe wrap for hot water. The offer lasts through the winter semester.
