RMANH is excited to launch our Energy Efficiency Program, Giving Power Back, to members interested in saving money and reducing energy use.

We're thrilled to tell you that we've received a substantial grant from the Public Utilities Commission's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to bring our members this energy efficiency program. It's designed to be a multi-year effort, with future dollars coming from state, federal and utility resources. Starting this year, and extending into 2010, we'll be offering:

• Free seminars and printed materials, to get the word out about energy use and efficiency.
• Basic energy evaluations at member locations. This first assessment is offered free of charge, so there are a limited number available.
• Detailed energy efficiency audits to specifically analyze your building energy usage. The detailed audit isn't free, but RMANH does have funds to dramatically reduce your cost.
• Partial funding to help members go the distance and actually implement energy efficiency projects at their locations.

RMANH has partnered with The Jordan Institute, a non-profit organization with expertise in energy efficiency, and Ocean National Bank, to assist with borrowing costs for energy efficiency projects. Working together, we can make a plan that makes sense for you and your budget.
