HMLP can increase LED usage by introducing the benefits of LEDs through continuing promotions (giveaways) and working with its customers when they purchase bulbs.</p>\n												SOLAR REBATE					\n					<p>HMLP will offer a rebate in the form of a credit on the bills of customers who install and own a photovoltaic system at their home in Hingham. The amount of the rebate will vary according to the capacity of the photovoltaic system. There is a cap of $5,000 per account. The HMLP will rebate $1,000/kW x the rated output of the system or $5,000, whichever is less. For example, an HMLP customer who installs a photovoltaic system that has a rated output of 2.5 kW will receive a rebate credit on their bill of $2,500. If that same customer installed a system with a rated output of 10 kW, then they would receive a rebate credit of $5,000. If they installed a system with a rated output of 5 kW, then they will receive a rebate of $5,000.</p><p><a href=\"http://hmlp.com/RatesBilling/NetMeteringRates.asp\">Information About Net Metering</a></p>\n												WEATHERIZATION REBATE					\n					<p>HMLP will offer a rebate of 50% with a cap of $500 per account in the form of a credit on the bills of customers who make certain energy efficiency improvements to their existing home in Hingham.

To schedule an assessment, please call Energy New England (ENE) at 1-888-772-4242.</p><p>HMLP has contracted with certified commercial and industrial specialists (ENE) to provide energy management studies and to develop a plan of action for each energy conservation measure identified. The assessments cover such end-uses as lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). The specialist develops energy conservation measures that are end-use specific based upon standard engineering analysis as well as cost estimates derived from experience or other similar projects. HMLP has structured the program so that the customer pays one third (1/3) of the cost of the assessment. The remaining two thirds (2/3) of the cost of the assessment will be paid for by HMLP. HMLP’s portion will range from $500 to $3,750.</p>\n												COMMERCIAL LIGHTING RETROFIT REBATES					\n					<p>HMLP offers a <a href=\"http://www.hmlp.com/CommunityResources/LightingSysRebate.pdf\">Commercial Lighting Retrofit Rebate Program</a> to its commercial, industrial, and municipal customers that retrofit inefficient interior lighting systems, or convert outdoor lighting to Light Emitting Diode (LED). The lighting rebate applies to the retrofitting of existing:</p><ul><li>T12 fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts to T5 or T8 lamps with electronic ballasts</li><li>T12 high output or high intensity discharge (HID) fixtures to T5 or T8 high output with electronic ballasts</li><li>Compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) exit signs with new Light Emitting Diode (LED), Electroluminescent, or Photo luminescent exit signs</li><li>High pressure sodium, mercury vapor, or incandescent outdoor lighting to LED</li><li>The installation of occupancy sensors &#8211; passive infrared and/or ultrasonic detectors only with no manual ON or override switches</li></ul><p>HMLP caps the rebate amount at 50% of the project cost with a maximum of $4,000 per account. The rebate amount is credited to the customer’s account.</p>\n												HVAC SYSTEM REBATES					\n					<p>Industry studies indicate that facility HVAC equipment represents approximately 31% of potential electric savings and 33% (over 2,000 kW) of potential Peak kW Demand reduction. An HVAC program has been developed by a Consortium for Energy Efficiency. HMLP’s HVAC program will be geared toward commercial/industrial customers who utilize roof top units (RTUs). The program will encourage customers to purchase high efficiency units for new applications or when replacing failed units. Rebates will be developed based on the tonnage of the unit as well as the efficiency. HMLP intends to develop a program similar to the Consortium’s “Cool Choice” program (details to be provided). Due to the technical nature of motors and HVAC systems, HMLP envisions creating the specifics of this program with the ENE specialists.</p><p><i>The HMLP reserves the right to change any portion of this program or end the program at any time without notice.</i></p>\n			<h4>Energy New England</h4>		\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n										100 Foxborough Blvd., Suite 110 </br>Foxborough, MA 02035\n									</li>\n								<li >\n										508-698-1200\n									</li>\n								<li >\n										508-698-0222\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n					<a href=\"mailto:solutions@ene.org​\">						\n										solutions@ene.org\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ene.org/\">						\n										www.ene.org\n											</a>\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n			<h4>Website</h4>		\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/\">					Home\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/energy-assessment/\">					Energy Assessment\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/recommendations/\">					Recommendations\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/towns-we-serve/\">					Town We Serve\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/home-advisor/\">					Home Advisor\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"#\">					Shop\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/contact/\">					Contact\n											</a>\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n			<h4>social media</h4>		\n							<a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/energy-new-england/\" target=\"_blank\">\n					Linkedin\n				</a>','Hingham Municipal Lighting Plant (HMLP)','','publish','closed','closed','','hingham-municipal-lighting-plant-hmlp','','','2018-08-15 13:04:27','2018-08-15 13:04:27','',1385,'http://ee.ene.org/?page_id=1378',0,'page','',0),(1379,2,'2018-06-20 20:43:24','2018-06-20 20:43:24','','Hingham Municipal Lighting Plant (HMLP)','','inherit','closed','closed','','1378-revision-v1','','','2018-06-20 20:43:24','2018-06-20 20:43:24','',1378,'http://ee.ene.org/1378-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1380,2,'2018-06-20 20:44:56','2018-06-20 20:44:56','','Hingham Municipal Lighting Plant','','publish','closed','closed','','hingham','','','2018-08-08 01:23:27','2018-08-08 01:23:27','',0,'http://ee.ene.org/?p=1380',19,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1382,2,'2018-06-20 20:50:53','2018-06-20 20:50:53','<h2>Hudson Light & Power Department</h2>		\n			<h5>SERVING HUDSON, STOW, BERLIN, BOLTON, AND MARLBOROUGH</h5>		\n		<p>Hudson Light and Power Department (HLPD) is a not-for-profit municipal electric utility serving Hudson, Stow, and parts of surrounding communities.

They are often conveniently controlled through the household thermostat, but must be installed correctly (with proper duct sealing, airflow measurements, and proper sizing for the space) in order to operate efficiently.</p><p><strong>What is an Air Source Heat Pump? </strong>Heat pumps can provide cost-effective and energy-efficient heating and cooling for homes. While traditional systems burn fuel to create heat, a heat pump instead works by moving heat into or out of a home. Though they require electricity to operate, efficient heat pumps can provide the same amount of heating for a third of the electricity needed for traditional electric heating.</p><p>Heat pumps circulate a liquid, called a refrigerant, between an indoor air-handling unit and an outdoor radiator. When heating a home, the heat pump heats the liquid by pressurizing it, pumping it from outdoors inside, and then circulating it through the home’s heating system.</p><p>After the liquid transfers the heat into the building it is depressurized and cooled. The liquid then travels to the outdoor radiator where the ambient temperature warms the refrigerant and the process begins again.</p><p>Heat pumps can also be used to cool homes through a similar process. In this case, the warm air inside a home or building is cooled by the liquid, which has been depressurized. The refrigerant is then sent outside and pressurized, which heats it up, and the ambient outdoor temperature cools it.</p><p>Air-source heat pumps use the temperatures of the outdoor air to heat or cool homes. Advancements in technology over the past few years have made air-source heat pumps an efficient source of heating and cooling in cold climates like Massachusetts. Models on the market today can operate efficiently even when it is below zero degrees Fahrenheit.</p><p>Much like air conditioners, air-source heat pumps can be installed either as central units or split units. Central units utilize a building’s heat distribution system to heat and cool a home. Split units typically provide heating and cooling to just one area of a home, reducing demand on the existing heating system.</p><p><strong>What is a Mini-Split Heat Pump?</strong> A mini-split system is composed of two components: an outdoor condensing unit and one or more indoor air handling units that are connected by a conduit through your wall. They usually have no ducts, but can sometimes have a short duct system. Mini-split heat pumps can produce cooling for the summer months and heating in the winter months.</p><p><strong>Rebate amounts and payments:</strong> Rebates will be for $250-$500 per installation.

Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for the rebate to appear on your bill.</p><p><strong>Verification:</strong> A copy of original sales receipt indicating make, model, purchase date, purchase location, and price must accompany the rebate application.

Solar Community gives MGED’s customers the opportunity to share in the benefits of a large solar system installed within MGED’s service territory. </p><p>Participating customers share in both the costs and the benefits associated with Solar Community. MGED customers enrolled in the program pay a monthly fee for costs associated with the program. Starting in the second year, participating customers are expected to begin receiving credits on their bill.</p><p>To learn more about or enroll in available programs please visit <a href=\"https://www.mged.com/smart-energy-community-projects\"><u>MGED Solar Community</u></a>.</p>\n												NET-METERING (SOLAR)					\n					<p><b>Residential<br /></b>For customers who generate their own electricity using small-scale solar energy systems known as solar arrays, net metering measures both the electricity you buy from MGED and the excess electricity you produce using your own energy system that is sent back through the department’s meter. Net metering means that MGED’s meter will record both amounts, and you will be billed for the “net” amount or the difference between what was delivered by and sent to MGED. <em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">MGED will not meter the total amount produced by your energy system, most of which will be used inside your home.</em></p><p>For example, if a customer with a 2,000 Watt solar array generates 300 kWh in July but only uses 200 kWh during those solar production hours, then 100 kWh will be sent backward through the meter to MGED lines. If that customer also uses 600 kWh from MGED (forward through the meter) in their home that month when more power was needed (i.e. in the evening), then the bill will show charges for 600 kWh and a credit for the excess 100 kWh at the wholesale energy value.</p><p>To learn more about or apply for net metering as an MGED customer, download <a href=\"https://www.mged.com/sites/mge/files/uploads/mged_guide_solarnetmeteringfinal.pdf\"><u>MGED&#8217;s Guide to Solar Generation &amp; Net Metering</u></a>.</p><p><strong>Com</strong><b>mercial<br /></b>MGED currently offers commercial customer interconnection of renewable generation systems as a 100% buyback of power generated at market costs. The buyback, in the form of a billing credit, is for systems sized over 10 kilowatts (DC).</p><p>For those customers requesting interconnection for medium-sized (10 kW &lt; 100 kW) systems, please read <a href=\"https://www.mged.com/sites/mge/files/file/file/rdg_infopack.pdf\"><u>MGED’s Guide for Renewable Distributed Generation</u></a>.</p><p>Any proposals for larger systems must be presented to MGED management in order to determine appropriate production credit.

These customers are able to have a switch installed on their electric hot water tank (at no cost) that allows the town to control their water heater during the town’s peak electric usage hours. The switches are installed by the NLD licensed electrician and remotely controlled by NLD at its Central Street office. Participating customers receive a credit of $4 dollars per month ($48 per year) on their electric bill. Please call the NLD billing office at <b>781-948-1150</b> if you would like to sign up for this program.</p>\n												RESIDENTIAL CONTROLLED ELECTRIC WATER HEATER PROGRAM					\n					<p>The Residential Controlled Water Heater Program is designed for customers who have a separate electric meter for their electric water heater. The electric hot water heater is now directly controlled by NLD rather than by time clocks as it previously was. This method allows NLD to shut off electric water heaters during the town&#8217;s peak demand periods. Participating customers are billed at a lower off-peak rate for allowing NLD to control their electric water heaters.  Previously, the water heaters were shut-off for a period of 4 to 6 hours per day by time clocks. Under the new system, the hot water heaters are shut-off for less time (normally 2 to 3 hours on weekdays) and only as the town approaches its peak (usually between 11 am and 4 pm). The improved system is more convenient for the customer and allows the town to have better control of its peak demand.</p><p>Over 600 meters have been replaced. The program is monitored and maintained to ensure that the water heaters are shut-off as the town approaches its peak demand.</p>\n												COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING RETROFIT PROGRAM					\n					The Commercial/Industrial Lighting Retrofit Program is designed to help NLD’s business customers use energy efficient lighting to meet their lighting needs. The objective of this program is to help overcome the current market barriers (primarily higher cost) for the installation of energy efficient lighting technologies. Through NLD, The Town of Norwood assists businesses in determining the most effective way to accomplish the goal of this program. NLD will contribute a maximum of 50% of a project’s cost, provided the grant is less than the specified maximum amount for the group the project falls within. In other words, if the total project cost is $12,000, then NLD will grant a maximum of $6,000. If the total project cost is $50,000, then NLD’s grant will not exceed $15,000.\nNLD is pleased to continue its Commercial/Industrial Lighting Retrofit Program. By participating in this program NLD’s commercial customers will not only be reducing their own electric bills, but they will also be assisting the Town of Norwood and its Electric Department in its goals of conserving energy and saving money.\nThis program has been divided into four groups: municipal, small commercial, medium commercial, and large commercial/industrial. The Town of Norwood will contribute a percentage (maximum of 50%) of the project cost, or up to the certain specified maximum depending upon the size and grouping of the customer. The breakdown is as follows:\n<table width=\"515\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"72\"><strong>Group #</strong></td>\n<td width=\"153\"><strong>Group Name</strong></td>\n<td width=\"135\"><strong>Customer Size</strong></td>\n<td width=\"155\"><strong>NLD Max Contribution</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"72\">Group 1</td>\n<td width=\"153\">Municipal</td>\n<td width=\"135\">All sizes</td>\n<td width=\"155\">$15,000</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"72\">Group 2</td>\n<td width=\"153\">Small Commercial</td>\n<td width=\"135\">&lt; 11 KVA</td>\n<td width=\"155\">$4,000</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"72\">Group 3</td>\n<td width=\"153\">Medium Commercial</td>\n<td width=\"135\">100 &lt; 500 KVA</td>\n<td width=\"155\"></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"72\">Group 4</td>\n<td width=\"153\">Large Commercial/ Industrial</td>\n<td width=\"135\">&gt; 500 KVA</td>\n<td width=\"155\">$15,000</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<a href=\"http://www.norwoodlight.com/lighting-retrofit-application-forms\"><u>Lighting Retrofit Application Forms</u></a>\nNLD would like to see all of its business customers take advantage of this worthwhile program in order to reduce their energy demand and electric bills. However, budgetary limitations only allow a certain number of projects to be undertaken this year. Proposals will be judged according to which projects provide the greatest kilowatt reduction during peak periods per cost of the project (NLD’s contribution). Applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first-served basis. NLD will determine whether it deems a project worthwhile. Determination as to whether a project is worthwhile is final and not subject to review. All work done must be completed and inspected to qualify for this program.\nNLD hopes this program will continue for several years and would like all of its business customers to participate in it.  Many customers may be surprised to find that up to 33% of their electrical consumption is from lighting. Customers can realize substantial and ongoing savings by retrofitting existing lighting.

Although these products are expensive to purchase up front, the cost difference is paid back over time through lower energy bills.</p><p>ENERGY STAR compliant oil and gas furnaces have annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 85% or higher, making them up to 16% more efficient than standard models. Gas Furnaces must have an AFUE of 95% or greater.</p><p>ENERGY STAR qualified boilers have annual utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating of 87% or greater. Whether the fuel is gas or oil, they are up to 12% more energy efficient than standard models.  They achieve greater efficiency with improved features such as electronic ignition that eliminates the need to have a pilot light burning all the time, new combustion technologies that extract more heat from the same amount of fuel, and sealed combustion that uses outside air to fuel the burner.</p><p>If you purchase an ENERGY STAR compliant heating system, you will receive a credit of 10% of the purchase price, not to exceed $250.00.</p><p>The incentive will be applied to your electric account and is subject to funds availability.</p><p>Please submit the <a href=\"http://www.pud-ri.org/wp-content9999/uploads/2013/05/Heating-System-Rebate.pdf\">Heating System/Burner Replacement Rebate Form</a> to request your rebate.</p>\n												HOME OFFICE AND ELECTRONICS REBATE					\n					<p>ENERGY STAR compliant office equipment, such as computers, monitors, and imaging equipment (like printers and copiers), help to eliminate waste though special energy efficient designs. They use less electricity and enter into a low-power mode when they are not in use. The specifications for many office products continue to change, making it more difficult to earn the ENERGY STAR label. The current ENERGY STAR products are 25%-50% more efficient than standard equipment.</p><p>The products that fall under office equipment are: computers, laptops, copiers, fax machines, digital duplicators, external power adapters, notebook computers/tablet PCs, mailing machines, computer monitors, digital picture frames, printers, scanners, all in one units, water coolers, and computer servers.</p><p>The products that fall under home electronics are audio/ video and include: audio amplifiers, AV receivers, shelf systems, DVD players, Blu-ray disc players, docking stations for audio amplification or optical disc drive functions, battery charging systems, cordless phones and combination units, external power adapters, televisions, and set-top box imaging equipment.</p><p>If you purchase an item listed under the Home Office or Home Electronics description you will receive a credit of 15% of the cost, not to exceed $50.</p><p>The incentive will be applied to your electric account and is subject to funds availability.</p><p>Please submit the <a href=\"http://www.pud-ri.org/wp-content9999/uploads/2013/05/Home-Office-Equipment-Electronics-Rebate.pdf\">Home Office Equipment and Electronics Rebate Form</a> to request your rebate.</p>\n												LED LIGHTBULB REBATE					\n					<p>The ENERGY STAR label being present on lighting means that the product is superior in energy efficiency.  ENERGY STAR decorative light strings use 75% less energy than conventional incandescent light strings, last ten times longer, and are cool to the touch. The ENERGY STAR qualified decorative light strings with LED technology are 90% more efficient. The electricity consumed by just one 7-watt incandescent bulb can power 140 LEDs or a 25 foot string of LEDs. If you purchase an ENERGY STAR rated LED lightbulb, you will receive a credit of 50%, not to exceed $50. The incentive will be applied to your electric account and is subject to funds availability.</p><p>You can also bring in your unbroken, burnt out CFLs to PUD, and it will make sure they are properly recycled.</p><p>Please submit the <a href=\"http://www.pud-ri.org/wp-content9999/uploads/2013/05/LED-Lightbulb-Rebate.pdf\">LED Light Bulb Rebate Form</a> to request your rebate.</p>\n												LIGHTING FIXTURES AND CEILING FAN REBATE					\n					<p>ENERGY STAR qualified lighting fixtures use 75% less energy, and distribute energy more evenly and efficiently than standard fixtures. They come in hundreds of decorative styles for either portable or hard-wired fixtures. Many fixtures have convenient features such as dimming on indoor models, and automatic daylight shut-off and motion sensors on outdoor models.</p><p>ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fan/light combination units use improved motors, have a better blade design, and are over 60% more efficient than standard models.</p><p>The incentive will be applied to your electric account and is subject to funds availability.

Peak electricity is expensive and affects power supply costs, which in turn impacts all customer bills. RMLD’s Shred the Peak campaign is an effort to collectively reduce RMLD’s electricity use during peak demand in order to control costs and keep rates affordable. RMLD issues Shred the Peak alerts to notify customers when a peak is predicted, and asks customers to take simple steps to conserve electricity during the predicted peak window. <a href=\"https://youtu.be/gIR2bus0tZk\">Watch</a> a short video to learn more about Shred the Peak.</p><p>RMLD&#8217;s system has a monthly and annual peak.

The TOU rate encourages customers to minimize electricity use during on-peak hours (noon – 7pm, Monday – Friday, excluding holidays) by offering a discounted rate for use during off-peak hours.

and Programs</h4>		\n												ENERGY STAR® APPLIANCE REBATES					\n					<p>If you’re in the market for a new appliance, RMLP offers rebates of $25 to $75 on certain ENERGY STAR-rated refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dehumidifiers, room air conditioners, and programmable thermostats.</p><p>Buying an ENERGY STAR appliance makes sense for three reasons—you will qualify for a rebate, save money in energy costs over the entire life of the appliance, and help the environment by decreasing pollution from fossil fuels used to generate electricity. If you buy a high-efficiency washing machine, you’ll save on water costs and help preserve water resources as well.</p><p>Before you buy a new appliance, download the <a href=\"http://www.rowleylight.com/pdf/2018_Rowley_Appliance_Rebate_Application.pdf\">Rebate Application Form</a> or call/visit the RMLP office. The application form includes specific program requirements for the RMLP rebate.</p><p>For more details about the program, call Energy New England (ENE) at <b>1-888-772-4242</b>.</p>\n												HOME ENERGY ASSESSMENT					\n					<p>Energy New England (ENE) provides conservation services for the residential customers of its partnering utilities.

The program is 100% voluntary and can provide noteworthy cost savings.</p><p>Savings achieved by the customer action taken during peak demand hours will be calculated as actual savings realized, and will be applied as a credit to the customer’s invoice two billing periods after the called peak event. The credit typically equates to 3%-10% of the total utility bill. Load drop performance is displayed real-time and historically via the Tangent Amp web portal. No penalty is applied if no demand reductions are realized.</p><p>Please view the <a href=\"http://www.rowleylight.com/pdf/RMLP_Peak_Mgmt_Flyer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Voluntary Peak Management Program Flyer</u></a> for more information about the program and how to apply.</p>\n												COMMERCIAL ENERGY ASSESSMENT					\n					<p>Assistance for Commercial Energy Audits is available to RMLP’s commercial and industrial customers that intend to invest in energy conservation measures. Energy Audits cover such end-uses as lighting, HVAC, and motors. The cost of an audit can vary from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars depending on the audit type and square footage of the building.</p><p>RMLP will fund up to $300 towards the cost of an audit that is performed through the professional auditing services of Energy New England (ENE). RMLP will fund up to 75% of the installed cost of recommended measures, not to exceed $1,500 per customer audit.</p><p>RMLP reserves the right to fund commercial audits on a case-by-case basis.</p><p>For more information, contact RMLP’s office or ENE at <b>1-888-772-4242</b>.</p>\n			<h4>Energy New England</h4>		\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n										100 Foxborough Blvd., Suite 110 </br>Foxborough, MA 02035\n									</li>\n								<li >\n										508-698-1200\n									</li>\n								<li >\n										508-698-0222\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n					<a href=\"mailto:solutions@ene.org​\">						\n										solutions@ene.org\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ene.org/\">						\n										www.ene.org\n											</a>\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n			<h4>Website</h4>		\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/\">					Home\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/energy-assessment/\">					Energy Assessment\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/recommendations/\">					Recommendations\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/towns-we-serve/\">					Town We Serve\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/home-advisor/\">					Home Advisor\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"#\">					Shop\n											</a>\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"https://ee.ene.org/contact/\">					Contact\n											</a>\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n			<h4>social media</h4>		\n							<a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/energy-new-england/\" target=\"_blank\">\n					Linkedin\n				</a>','Rowley Municipal Lighting Plant (RMLP)','','publish','closed','closed','','rowley-municipal-light-plant-rmlp','','','2018-08-16 16:45:12','2018-08-16 16:45:12','',1385,'http://ee.ene.org/?page_id=1420',0,'page','',0),(1421,2,'2018-06-20 22:20:29','2018-06-20 22:20:29','','Rowley Municipal Light Plant (RMLP)','','inherit','closed','closed','','1420-revision-v1','','','2018-06-20 22:20:29','2018-06-20 22:20:29','',1420,'http://ee.ene.org/1420-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1422,2,'2018-06-20 22:22:50','2018-06-20 22:22:50','<h2>Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant</h2>		\n			<h5>SERVING TAUNTON, RAYNHAM, BERKLEY, AND NORTH DIGHTON</h5>		\n		<p>Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant (TMLP) has been an integral part of the City of Taunton for more than a century because it has successfully managed its customers’ investments, responded to and anticipated evolving energy needs, and remained focused on community values.

Although sealing these leaks is not the easiest job, it is one of the most cost-effective things you can do to increase your home’s energy efficiency. You’ll want to do this before adding any insulation, as fixing the leaks is much more difficult once extra insulation is installed. In addition to saving energy and making your home more comfortable, sealing air leaks also reduces ice dams and freezing pipes, and helps control moisture movement that can contribute to mold and structural damage. People often think that windows and doors are the source of most air leakage in a house, but the largest leaks are almost always hidden in attics, basements, crawlspaces, and other unexpected places.</p><p>Air-Sealing Priorities</p><p>Identify the most important leaks first; sealing them makes the biggest difference in comfort and energy. The priorities are big leaks, and leaks at higher pressures. Air movement and leakage areas are not always intuitively clear, but remember that air does not move through most solid objects (concrete block and masonry in general are notable exceptions). Air leaks mostly through connections and spaces between building materials.</p><p>(Page 30)</p><p>Seal the high and low leaks</p><p>The greatest pressure differences are those at the highest and lowest points in your house, and your top priority should always be the attic. Doing a complete job of sealing leaks between the house and the attic will help stop cold winter air from seeping in at the bottom of the house.</p><p>Sealing the attic also helps keep out moisture, reduce ice dams, and prevent hot air from leaking in from the attic or roof in the summer.</p><p>Once you have sealed the attic, the next priority is the basement, crawlspace, or slab—the home’s foundation. Sealing leaks there will help prevent cold air from coming in during the winter and cool air from escaping during the summer. Then you can look for significant leaks in other parts of the house.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Attic Air-Sealing</p><p>When walking around your house, you’re likely to see only the plaster or drywall. What you don’t see are all the connections where building materials meet (or don’t meet). The biggest leaks are hidden behind the walls, where you can’t see them. The key to air-sealing an attic is to block off the large openings and seal the smaller ones as completely as possible—from one end of the attic to the other. (Note: You might skip the air-sealing if there are lots of complicated leaks as well as leaky ductwork in the attic, or if the attic is a space you plan to convert to finished space in the future. If that’s the case, consider sealing and insulating the roof instead with sprayed urethane foam.)</p><p> </p><p>(Page 33)</p><p>Through-framing into attics</p><p>Now that you are thoroughly familiar with your attic, you should have an idea of where the big holes are located. These holes typically occur wherever framing members, such as wall studs or floor joists, run from the conditioned space to the attic space. These bypasses require a little more thought to seal properly, and they are often the largest and most important leaks.</p><p>(Page 36)</p><p>Recessed lights</p><p>Recessed “can” light fixtures installed in an insulated ceiling are often big air leaks. Most common styles are full of holes to vent the fixture so it doesn’t get too hot. Also, an older unit can’t have insulation above, or within 3 in. of any part of the fixture, so each one represents a big “hole” for both air and heat flow. If you have a lot of them, the result can be an energy disaster. The best approach is to replace them with airtight fixtures that are rated for insulation contact, or “IC.” The IC rating allows insulation to surround and cover the light fixture. Not all IC-rated fixtures are airtight (AT), but building codes in most states require airtight IC fixtures, so they are easy to find.</p><p>Other special situations</p><p>Attic air-sealing is complicated by the fact that there are so many types of houses, but there are some fairly common situations. First, don’t miss hidden attic areas. Sometimes an addition, dormer, or ell may have a separate attic that you can’t see, because the new roof was built right over the first roof.</p><p>Suspended ceilings can hide tremendous leakage areas, particularly if they have attic spaces above. In older houses, such ceilings are often installed to hide deteriorating plaster. There may be large holes in the ceiling or high on the walls that are hidden by the dropped ceiling.</p><p>Sometimes a suspended ceiling hides open framing that is insulated with only faced fiberglass batts. This is a huge air leak: neither the insulation nor the suspended ceiling is an air barrier. It’s best to remove the suspended ceiling and install new drywall</p><p>Another potential air-leakage disaster is a wooden tongue-and-groove ceiling. Whether the ceiling is flat or cathedral, if there is no air barrier behind the planks (which is typical), the hundreds of lineal feet of cracks in even a small room can add up to a big leak.</p><p>Occasionally, air leaks occur in places that are virtually impossible to reach. If your house has a lot of cathedral-ceiling areas, you may have many plumbing vents and wiring holes that lead from partition-wall cavities up into the roof. These provide a path for warm humid air to escape in winter and for hot attic air to leak into interior walls in summer. Unless you are planning to re-roof or to gut those partitions in a remodel, your most likely options involve dense-packed cellulose insulation or two-part foam.</p><p>(Page 41)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Basement/Crawlspace Air-Sealing</p><p>After the attic, the basement or crawlspace is the next most important area to seal for several reasons. Like the top of a home, the bottom typically has the largest air pressure pushing air in or out of the house, so sealing those leaks results in larger energy savings. Second, though often smaller than attic leaks, basement and crawlspace leaks tend to be larger than those in exterior walls. More important, in most climates, air leaks in from the bottom in cool or cold weather. This leaking air can carry radon gas, mold spores, gases from pesticide treatments, water vapor, and any other subsoil nasties that may become airborne. Sealing leaks at the lowest level of your home helps prevent these undesirable elements from entering your home. Finally, most pipe-freezing problems result from cold air leaking in around the sills, where the pipes are often located.</p><p>Basement walls</p><p>Generally, consider it most effective to create a good air barrier between the basement and the outdoors by sealing the walls. This is typically true even if you intend to insulate the floor over the basement. There are four common leakage areas in basement walls: service penetrations, stepped-wall transitions, bulkhead doors, and the sill/band joist area.</p><p>Service penetrations Every home has basic service penetrations, such as those for electricity, telephone, plumbing, fuel lines, and cable TV. Often, these penetrations are made in the band-joist area, also called the box sill or ribbon joist in conventionally framed houses (in older homes, this may be one large sill beam). Sometimes penetrations come through the foundation (especially plumbing drains, which are always below grade).</p><p>Stepped foundation walls are often built on hillsides in cold climates. The vertical parts of the steps are often particularly leaky.</p><p>Bulkhead doors Another common source of basement leakage is the bulkhead door. Bulkheads are designed to keep out rain but not to stop air. If your basement is unfinished, the best way to deal with this is to install a new exterior door at the foundation wall inside the bulkhead.</p><p>Sills and band joists The tops of foundation walls are often far from flat. The gaps may be small, but spread around the perimeter of a home, they really add up. Even recently built homes that have a foam sill sealer between the sill and the concrete may leak a lot of cold air there.</p><p>(Page 42)</p><p>Pro Tip</p><p>If you want to use your basement as living space, you should plan to completely air-seal and insulate the exterior basement walls.</p><p>Safety First</p><p>Although air-sealing a home can theoretically increase radon levels, it is unlikely. Sealing leaks and slowing the stack effect is more likely to reduce the amount of soil gas— including radon—that is pulled into the house from underground. The only way to tell whether you have dangerous radon levels is to test your home. Because of the potential health risks, it is a good idea to test for radon whether or not you do air-sealing. If elevated radon levels are confirmed by at least two tests, find a certified professional to install a mitigation system. See www.epa.gov/radon for more information.</p><p>(Page 43)</p><p>Sealing the floor deck</p><p>Although it is typically more difficult than sealing foundation walls, sealing the floor deck between the basement and the first floor may make sense. If you want to use the basement as living space, it’s almost always better and easier to insulate and seal the exterior basement walls. But if the house sits on an unfinished basement or vented crawlspace, you may benefit from sealing the floor from below.</p><p>Crawlspaces</p><p>Crawlspaces are nothing more than short basements, usually just deep enough for the footings to be below the frost line. Unlike basements, they often have exposed dirt floors. Building code requirements for vapor retarders are typically inadequate, even when they are followed properly. Crawlspaces can be pretty nasty places; they often have inadequate drainage. Building codes that require these spaces be vented to the outdoors may make matters worse. The best treatment for a crawlspace is to include it in the conditioned space by sealing and insulating the exterior walls, just like a basement.</p><p>Slab-on-grade</p><p>If your home (or part of your home) has no basement or crawlspace, it is probably a concrete slab-on-grade. Those homes are somewhat simpler to seal because there are fewer connections among building materials at the foundation. Your primary job with slab-on-grade construction is to caulk or otherwise seal the exterior walls where the house framing meets the slab.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Sidewall Air-Sealing</p><p>Exterior walls are not typically the leakiest parts of a house. Leaks occur in walls where services enter the home, where the framing of the house makes transitions, around rough openings for windows, and through and around window sashes.</p><p>Service penetrations</p><p>Sealing cable, wiring, plumbing, and telephone service penetrations is fairly easy. Such openings are usually accessible from the exterior and are often small because some effort is made to weatherproof them during installation.</p><p>Transitions in exterior wall framing</p><p>One common example of a wall transition is a cantilevered floor, typically an overhang of 1 ft. to 3 ft. that is common on raised ranches and Colonial-style homes. Often, the plywood soffit at the bottom of the overhang is not sealed tightly, and air can leak through these gaps, which are easy to caulk.</p><p>(Page 48)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Weatherstripping Doors and Hatches</p><p>Most modern doors and windows have good weatherstripping built in, but older ones usually don’t. In addition, many homes have at least one less-finished, or even makeshift, door or hatchway as part of the thermal boundary.</p>','Text Box','','inherit','closed','closed','','392-revision-v1','','','2018-06-21 19:02:49','2018-06-21 19:02:49','',392,'http://ee.ene.org/392-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1441,2,'2018-06-21 19:02:50','2018-06-21 19:02:50','<h2>Preparing for Your Energy Assessment</h2>','Page Header','','inherit','closed','closed','','395-revision-v1','','','2018-06-21 19:02:50','2018-06-21 19:02:50','',395,'http://ee.ene.org/395-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1442,2,'2018-06-21 19:02:51','2018-06-21 19:02:51','<h2>Preparing for Your Energy Assessment</h2>','Page Header','','inherit','closed','closed','','395-revision-v1','','','2018-06-21 19:02:51','2018-06-21 19:02:51','',395,'http://ee.ene.org/395-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1443,2,'2018-06-21 19:02:51','2018-06-21 19:02:51','<h2><p>Air-Sealing Priorities</p></h2>		\n		<h1>ENE provides comprehensive Residential Energy Assessment services for Hudson Light and Power Department residential customers.

Although sealing these leaks is not the easiest job, it is one of the most cost-effective things you can do to increase your home’s energy efficiency. You’ll want to do this before adding any insulation, as fixing the leaks is much more difficult once extra insulation is installed. In addition to saving energy and making your home more comfortable, sealing air leaks also reduces ice dams and freezing pipes, and helps control moisture movement that can contribute to mold and structural damage. People often think that windows and doors are the source of most air leakage in a house, but the largest leaks are almost always hidden in attics, basements, crawlspaces, and other unexpected places.		\n			<h1>Air-Sealing Priorities</h1>		\n		<p>Identify the most important leaks first; sealing them makes the biggest difference in comfort and energy.

Then you can look for significant leaks in other parts of the house.</p>		\n			<h1>Attic Air-Sealing</h1>		\n		<p>When walking around your house, you’re likely to see only the plaster or drywall. What you don’t see are all the connections where building materials meet (or don’t meet). The biggest leaks are hidden behind the walls, where you can’t see them. The key to air-sealing an attic is to block off the large openings and seal the smaller ones as completely as possible—from one end of the attic to the other. (Note: You might skip the air-sealing if there are lots of complicated leaks as well as leaky ductwork in the attic, or if the attic is a space you plan to convert to finished space in the future. If that’s the case, consider sealing and insulating the roof instead with sprayed urethane foam.)</p>		\n										<img src=\"/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/air-sealing_attic-details-ns2biqgsa3e5uzh5ya4vlvifaesbob3307htuotaws.png\" title=\"air-sealing_attic-details\" alt=\"air-sealing_attic-details\" />											\n		<p><b>Attic Bypasses</b></p><p>Although there are many variations, here are some common attic bypass situations:</p><ol><li>Dropped, or soffited, ceilings are common in kitchens above cabinets, in bathrooms over showers or vanities, and sometimes over stairways (see photo B).</li><li>Plumbing chases (see photo B) can be much larger than the pipes that run through them.</li><li>Chimney chases often run all the way to the basement of a house (see photo A).</li><li>Tri-level homes often have open cavities that extend from the lower level into the attic, along the wall between the levels. These stud spaces are bypasses, as are the large openings that may occur near the stairs (see photo C).</li><li>Older homes and rowhouses with brick exteriors may have wood furring strips that extend from the attic to the basement. Walls above pocket doors may also have gaps, which open into the channel in which the door slides.</li></ol>		\n			<p>Through-framing into attics</p>		\n		<p>Now that you are thoroughly familiar with your attic, you should have an idea of where the big holes are located. These holes typically occur wherever framing members, such as wall studs or floor joists, run from the conditioned space to the attic space. These bypasses require a little more thought to seal properly, and they are often the largest and most important leaks. </p>		\n										<img src=\"/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/air-sealing_attic-details-ns2biqgsa3e5uzh5ya4vlvifaesbob3307htuotaws.png\" title=\"air-sealing_attic-details\" alt=\"air-sealing_attic-details\" />											\n			<p>Recessed lights</p>		\n		<p>Recessed “can” light fixtures installed in an insulated ceiling are often big air leaks. Most common styles are full of holes to vent the fixture so it doesn’t get too hot. Also, an older unit can’t have insulation above, or within 3 in. of any part of the fixture, so each one represents a big “hole” for both air and heat flow. If you have a lot of them, the result can be an energy disaster. The best approach is to replace them with airtight fixtures that are rated for insulation contact, or “IC.” The IC rating allows insulation to surround and cover the light fixture. Not all IC-rated fixtures are airtight (AT), but building codes in most states require airtight IC fixtures, so they are easy to find.</p>		\n			<p>Other special situations\n</p>		\n		<p>Attic air-sealing is complicated by the fact that there are so many types of houses, but there are some fairly common situations. First, don’t miss hidden attic areas. Sometimes an addition, dormer, or ell may have a separate attic that you can’t see, because the new roof was built right over the first roof.<br />Suspended ceilings can hide tremendous leakage areas, particularly if they have attic spaces above. In older houses, such ceilings are often installed to hide deteriorating plaster. There may be large holes in the ceiling or high on the walls that are hidden by the dropped ceiling.<br />Sometimes a suspended ceiling hides open framing that is insulated with only faced fiberglass batts. This is a huge air leak: neither the insulation nor the suspended ceiling is an air barrier. It’s best to remove the suspended ceiling and install new drywall<br />Another potential air-leakage disaster is a wooden tongue-and-groove ceiling. Whether the ceiling is flat or cathedral, if there is no air barrier behind the planks (which is typical), the hundreds of lineal feet of cracks in even a small room can add up to a big leak.<br />Occasionally, air leaks occur in places that are virtually impossible to reach. If your house has a lot of cathedral-ceiling areas, you may have many plumbing vents and wiring holes that lead from partition-wall cavities up into the roof. These provide a path for warm humid air to escape in winter and for hot attic air to leak into interior walls in summer. Unless you are planning to re-roof or to gut those partitions in a remodel, your most likely options involve dense-packed cellulose insulation or two-part foam.</p>		\n			<h1>Basement/Crawlspace Air-Sealing</h1>		\n		<p style=\"tab-stops: 208.2pt;\">After the attic, the basement or crawlspace is the next most important area to seal for several reasons. Like the top of a home, the bottom typically has the largest air pressure pushing air in or out of the house, so sealing those leaks results in larger energy savings. Second, though often smaller than attic leaks, basement and crawlspace leaks tend to be larger than those in exterior walls. More important, in most climates, air leaks in from the bottom in cool or cold weather. This leaking air can carry radon gas, mold spores, gases from pesticide treatments, water vapor, and any other subsoil nasties that may become airborne. Sealing leaks at the lowest level of your home helps prevent these undesirable elements from entering your home. Finally, most pipe-freezing problems result from cold air leaking in around the sills, where the pipes are often located.</p>		\n			<p>Basement walls</p>		\n		<p>Generally, consider it most effective to create a good air barrier between the basement and the outdoors by sealing the walls. This is typically true even if you intend to insulate the floor over the basement. There are four common leakage areas in basement walls: service penetrations, stepped-wall transitions, bulkhead doors, and the sill/band joist area.</p><p><b>Service penetrations</b> Every home has basic service penetrations, such as those for electricity, telephone, plumbing, fuel lines, and cable TV. Often, these penetrations are made in the band-joist area, also called the box sill or ribbon joist in conventionally framed houses (in older homes, this may be one large sill beam). Sometimes penetrations come through the foundation (especially plumbing drains, which are always below grade).</p><p><b>Stepped foundation</b> walls are often built on hillsides in cold climates. The vertical parts of the steps are often particularly leaky.</p><p><b>Bulkhead doors </b>Another common source of basement leakage is the bulkhead door. Bulkheads are designed to keep out rain but not to stop air. If your basement is unfinished, the best way to deal with this is to install a new exterior door at the foundation wall inside the bulkhead.</p><p><b>Sills and band joists</b> The tops of foundation walls are often far from flat. The gaps may be small, but spread around the perimeter of a home, they really add up. Even recently built homes that have a foam sill sealer between the sill and the concrete may leak a lot of cold air there.</p>		\n			<p>Pro Tip</p>		\n		<p>If you want to use your basement as living space, you should plan to completely air-seal and insulate the exterior basement walls.</p>		\n			<p>Safety First</p>		\n		<p>Although air-sealing a home can theoretically increase radon levels, it is unlikely. Sealing leaks and slowing the stack effect is more likely to reduce the amount of soil gas— including radon—that is pulled into the house from underground. The only way to tell whether you have dangerous radon levels is to test your home. Because of the potential health risks, it is a good idea to test for radon whether or not you do air-sealing. If elevated radon levels are confirmed by at least two tests, find a certified professional to install a mitigation system.
