Our Energy Action Group

Powering Down to Clean Renewable Sources of Energy


           

An Energy Descent Action Plan will be the core component of any vision for the future of Cheltenham.

 

What we've done:

• On Apr 27, 2010, organized an energy conservation workshop
led by Transition Cheltenham's Grahame E Maisey,  PE & Energy Master Planner
and Laura Blau AIA Certified Passive House Designer & Energy Auditor.
Learned how homes and community buildings could begin
a transformation from energy users to energy producers.

• Created the Home Greening Guide, providing short medium
and long-term strategies for reducing energy use in your home.

• Researched and shared knowledge about how to choose electric suppliers
 who generate electricity from clean renewable sources.

• Created an Energy Master Plan for a home in Glenside, typical of homes in our township.

Join us as we chart Cheltenham's baseline carbon footprint and
embark on building a serious Energy Descent Action Plan.

 Resources:

• Electric Choices : Worksheet from the PUC for Analyzing Alternative Energy Suppliers.
