·         Board Member Chris Martersteck recommended NCEC consider joining Clean Air Counts·         Please attend Recycling Extravaganza - 6/6/09. Michelle Hickey-Fouts will email volunteer schedule this week and is all set for volunteers.

  • IMEA has formed an energy efficiency committee and will most likely begin a relationship which will allow the City of Naperville to offer “Apogee” self-home-energy-audits online.  The committee has also begun conversations with DCEO to administer energy efficiency programs (similar to those available to and funded by ComEd/Ameren customers).
  • Mark Skowron spoke with Best Buy’s Matt Polito (630-866-9166) who said that home energy audits can be performed for Chicagoland homes <4,000 square feet for $299 — or less possibly (quantity discount).  Matt said that homes with more than 4,000 sq. ft. and high ceilings prove to be challenging for a standard “Blower Door” because of the volume of air that needs to flow for adequate infrared imaging.
  • Legislative update:
    • HB3987 Residential EE Building Codes Bill Passed
    • SB1918 Natural Gas Efficiency Bill Passed
    • Clean Cars Bill – Overshadowed by new Federal CAFE standards
