Energy Conservation ~Free Presentation
October 21, 2015
Free Event
GrowRaton! has organized a free presentation on Energy Conservation to be held Wednesday, October 21st at 6:30 pm at International Bank in Raton. The presentation is for homeowners, contractors, bankers, realtors and anyone that wants to learn how to improve the comfort and affordability of the buildings they own. Sponsored by GrowRaton!/Community & Economic Development, Raton Kiwanis Club, Raton Rotary Club, First United Methodist Church of Raton and First Presbyterian Church of Raton.
Per US Housing Census facts, over 70% of the housing stock in Raton was constructed before the 1985 Energy Conservation Codes were implemented in New Mexico. Since their implementation, energy consumption of homes built to code levels have been reduced by 32%.
How can we improve our older homes to reduce their energy consumption to be closer to existing code levels or possibly exceed them? Can we improve our housing stock so new employers and employees that move into the area have better choices?
