Read the latest from the Evergreen team.
The energy efficiency community has been buzzing all week, boosted by President Obama’s State of the Union call to cut energy waste in half in the next twenty years. At Evergreen, we regularly cut home energy waste by 25% or more, so we’re not intimidated by that bold goal. We’re invigorated.
Here’s a confession: Sometimes even BPI-certified energy advisors have complicated, efficiency-challenged houses. Take Cree Hale Krull, who leads Evergreen’s charge in Maine’s southern Midcoast region. He’s the proud new owner of an older home that’s been full of efficiency surprises.
In case you hadn't heard, Maine got buried under 2 to 3 feet of snow last weekend, thanks to winter storm Nemo. We knew it was coming, so we all traipsed to the grocery store and topped off the fuel tanks and got ready.
And at Evergreen, we put together a postcard about ice dams. Did you get one?
Energy efficiency is regularly called our cheapest, cleanest energy resource - but you don't have to take it from me. The NRDC has put together a short, ridiculously fun video about how energy efficiency can help you "starve the beast" of dirty power and invest in your home, your environment, and your economy.
Have you looked outside today?
We're still in the early stages of what's predicted to be a masive storm - and the early stages are proving to be much more intense than anyone expected.
With last week’s sub-zero temperatures, it’s no surprise that we’ve gotten a fair number of calls about frozen pipes.
All summer long, we assure people that our infrared cameras are sensitive enough to pick up even a few degree difference. We stand by that, but there's no doubt about it: arctic weather makes for some pretty dramatic infrared thermography.
That's because IR cameras detect the infrared radiation emitted by all objects. Since the amount of infrared radiation increases with temperature, thermography lets us see temperature differences. The bigger the temperature difference, the prettier the picture.
