Bridgemont Gathers Key Stakeholders
for January Energy Efficiency Study Session

Infrared photos of residential and commercial buildingsWest Virginians will blow nearly $200 million out their doors and windows through 2030 if they don’t have standard codes in place ensuring minimum energy efficiency.  That was the consensus of experts assembled on Tuesday, January 10, at a special study session in the West Virginia House of Delegates chambers at the State Capitol in Charleston.  

And energy providers such as American Electric Power are as unhappy about that prospect as a well-informed rate payer. 

Bridgemont Community and Technical College in Montgomery invited the public, legislators, representatives of agencies and commissions, and organizations to hear national authorities as well as local experts speak on how the lack of energy efficiency adversely affects consumers and the state’s economy on a daily basis. Full Story     

Code and industry experts included: Building Code Assistance Program, American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, Air-Conditioning Engineers, American Institute of Architects-WV, Bridgemont Community and Technical College,WV Housing Development Fund, WV State Fire Marshal/Commission, WV Northern Community College, Appalachian Power Company, Energy Efficient West Virginia, Home Builders Association of WV, and more...See all video presentations on our YouTube WV GreenWorks Channel
