  • The Town of Bolton (n. of Worcester) has a town-created committee working on sustainability.
This group came to my attention because one of its members organized a meeting to present information on using Geothermal for heating & cooling in building projects - Michael 14:38, 4 February 2008 (EST)
  • This is a city-sponsored non-profit that is developing and rolling out a city-wide campaign to reduce energy use by residents and businesses. A large-scale effort that has secured local foundation funding to enable their start-up.
I have talked with Josh Hassel, their new President. They are just rolling out initial programs after a year's start-up planning. CEA may have some models and will soon have some experience that could be directly applied to some of our efforts - Michael 15:55, 27 August 2008 (EDT)
  • A citizens' based group promoting green/sustainable choices in Marlborough
  • Winchester - Winchester Energy Management Committee
  • Committee sanctioned by Board of Selectmen comprised of two town employees, representatives from other committees and energy professionals living in Winchester.
  • Current focus - building champion program in which energy billing data and energy budget information is to be used to make building owners aware of their usage, give them a tool to track their usage and possibly provide an incentive to the building owners (NB - Something I'd like to see in Needham Michael)
  • Other areas - looking at building maintenance, building operations policies, rental policies, new building construction plans, energy billing issues and other conservation efforts
