Weatherization in the news!
The Vermont Weatherization Network is now going to be supported by a dedicated training center in Barre. This means it will be even easier to make sure all NETO employees have the most current and comprehensive training to do the best possible work in our clients homes. Classes will be available for others who are interested in weatherization as well.

A new training center may make it easier to find someone to weatherize your home. But our Calvin Cutler reports finding a qualified workforce is only half the battle.

Vermont's Weatherization Assistance Program and NETO are in the national news! This is a wonderful article about the unique approach Vermont has taken to educating our clients through the use of Efficiency Coaches.

The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) provides more than just energy savings. It also provides energy security, cost savings, and—maybe most importantly—an opportunity for a personal connection between the home’s residents and the WAP agency staff members.

Yesterday, all available team members from NETO joined the 5 other Vermont Weatherization Organizations and representatives from the Vermont Office of Economic Opportunity at Lake Elmore. We celebrated the incredible work done last year by over 170 employees to weatherize over 1,200 homes and assist over 2,000 Vermonters. Our services provide energy improvements that help save money while also helping the environment. So much to be proud of, and so much more to do!

Last week, we were visited by members of the Governor's cabinet as they toured Caledonia County to see examples of the good work being done around the state. Here is an excerpt from the weekly newsletter of the Commissioner of the Vermont Department for Children and Families, Chris Winters:
"We were fortunate to start the day on the back roads of St. Johnsbury to visit a weatherization site, where NETO was on the job buttoning up the home of a kind and grateful widower living in a double-wide on a big beautiful plot of land with a gorgeous view. Wendy and Jeff from NETO explained their passion for this work with a smile as multiple guys on the crew came in and out the home hauling insulation and tools from their trucks as they went top to bottom through her home, replacing insulation, smoke detectors, appliances, and vents. They estimate 25-75% can be knocked off an energy bill by doing this, not to mention the environmental and health benefits. Jeff, the crew chief, has been doing this for 37 years and was full of pride. NETO is funded through grants made by OEO to do almost 250 of these jobs each year."
