- Coordinate a public blower-door test (hosted by the Energy Corps) to be held in a community building, church or home of a local leader.
- Lead a targeted energy efficiency marketed campaign in a local neighborhood, with assistance from the Energy Corps.
- Organize a group to participate in an Energy Corps presentation, workshop or energy test.
- Help Energy Corps distribute free utility bill reports for homes in your community. Residents can see how their home energy use compares to other homes.
- Identify people in your community who have an interest in home energy-efficiency and encourage them to be in a Cooperative Extension video.
- Come up with your own idea, and share it with us at tecc.energy@gmail.com.
