General Information • Connecticut has been a leader in delivering nationally recognized efficiency and renewable energy programs for over two decades. • Historically, these have been stand alone efforts, targeting individual measures delivered through traditional channels. Examples include discounted CFLs sold at big box retail outlets, rebates on solar systems, etc. • The Pilot will build on that experience, combing multiple individual programs into a single, comprehensive approach for homeowners. The Pilot will provide access to Home Performance professionals and utility staff who can provide: • Immediate improvement in the home’s performance and comfort through the direct installation of measures; • Resources to quickly achieve deeper savings, e.g., insulation; • Information about current or future fuel choices, e.g., natural gas, efficient electric or fuel oil equipment options; • Information about ways to improve the health and safety of their home; • Information about renewable energy options, and; • The resources necessary to finance these investments. • The information collected through this effort will allow us to better deliver these services going forward.
