BRANCHPORT – The Town of Jerusalem Open Space and Renewable Energy Committee, in partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Yates County, is pleased to present “Bringing Renewable Energy Home”; a workshop designed to give homeowners, farmers and small business owners practical information regarding renewable energy systems and strategies to save energy. The workshop will be held at the Branchport Firehouse on August 28th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p m., with plenty of refreshments provided.
Topics covered in the workshop will include current energy use assessments, low cost energy conservation strategies, solar thermal, geo thermal, solar electric and wind power. We are excited to welcome Jeff Stevens, Alfred State College, who lectures on electrical theory, national electrical code, and photovoltaic design and installation. Additionally, Stevens has obtained his pre-certification as a photovoltaic installer, continues studies with associated National Electrical Codes and Photovoltaic installations, and is currently helping to build a green home laboratory at Alfred State’s School of Applied Technology campus.
There will also be presentations from several other renewable energy and conservation educators and experts. In addition, a panel of homeowners will discuss their experiences installing and using renewable energy on a daily basis. The homeowner panel will field questions regarding implementing renewable energy. The event is open to the public and costs $10 per person to attend; space is limited so please preregister. Scholarships are available upon request. For more information or to register, please call the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Yates County at 315- 536 -5123.
