Energy Auditors

The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts has announced the launch of an aggressive privately funded energy efficiency programme. Costing $70 million it is intended to help fight global warming.

They are taking a pro-active approach and will offer free energy audits to residents in the city, this includes private and commercial properties. The aim is cut the cities electricity consumption by 10 percent so that by 2011 their CO2 emissions will be reduced by 150 thousand tonnes each year.

Douglas Foy, a consultant with the non-profit Cambridge Energy Alliance which is heading the programme said "You can do a number of small things and reduce your carbon footprint dramatically"

We agree completely with Foy. Now all we need to do is encourage and educate people that we can make a difference and it can save you money at the same time!
