The final two speakers of the Anatomy lecture were from the energy community. Although they spoke separately, I’m rolling them into one post because both had to do with energy incentives.

Mark Wyman of Energy Smart Communities educated us on NYSERDA’s energy audit program. He went over tax incentives, rebates and how to find energy star contractors and products. All of the information can be easily found on the getenergy website.

Mark covered the Association for Energy Affordability, a program that assists low and moderate income people with making their homes healthy. He also touched upon Power Naturally, NSERDA’s renewable energy program.

Finally, Judy Torres from Keyspan spoke. FYI, Keyspan is now National Grid after the UK based company bought them out, turning it into the second largest utility company in the world.

Judy covered the Energy Analysis program designed to help people analyze and improve their energy consumption. It’s free and fun to do the profile.

National Grid offers rebates for energy star products such as thermostats and up to $800 in rebates for high efficiency boilers.
