Green Madison would like to thank all of the Neighborhood Associations for your support during 2011. With your help, 764 residents have expressed interest in Green Madison, 313 have already completed the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Assessment, 75 are obtaining bids or performing work and 67 have already completed their energy efficiency upgrades! We need your help again during 2012 to reach our goal! Please read the information below and share it with your members.
New in 2012!
We have some big news for 2012, beginning January 1, the cost for a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Assessment for a single-family home is now just $200, after an instant $200 rebate. Green Madison is now rewarding energy efficiency actions with generous financial incentives in addition to the State’s Focus on Energy incentives (up to $2,000). To qualify for the new incentives, City residents must target at least 15 percent energy savings in their home (the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Assessment will show homeowners exactly what to do). The more a homeowner saves, the larger the cash incentive (see attachment). Green Madison makes important improvements even more affordable through a special energy efficiency financing offer. Low-interest, flexible-term financing between $1,000 and $15,000 is available from our partner Summit Credit Union. For the latest information on incentives and financing rates, please visit the Green Madison website: www.cityofmadison.com/greenmadison
