Department of Environmental Protection Energy Teams are offering free energy assessments and advice on ways of increasing energy efficiency through each of DEP’s six regional offices.

During the last 12 months, DEP employees from across the state spent hundreds of hours training in the use and application of energy efficiency assessment tools and techniques. With the help of Northampton Community College, a new distance-learning curriculum was developed to help with the training.

If you would like to request an energy assessment or simply discuss potential energy efficiency assistance available in your region, contact:
