ERS of NC is 1 of only 2 contractors selected for the Residential Energy Efficiency Program for Duke University Employees

The Duke Carbon Offset Initiative (DCOI) office has partnered with the Clinton Climate Initiative's Home Energy Affordability Loan (HEAL) program for a pilot program starting in the fall of 2014.  This program will provide resources to 50 Duke empoloyees who own homes in Durham county to dramatically reduce energy usage in those homes.  The pilot program is expected to serve as a foundation for a University-wide employee energy effieciency and renewable energy benefit program, and also build a model that can be replicated by other colleges, universities and organizations.
