Efficiency First

Over 60 energy efficiency professionals gathered in Kansas City this past Tuesday Night to launch Efficiency First Kansas City.

Congrats -- A New Efficiency First Chapter Is Born!

This meeting was an opportunity for energy efficiency professionals of all types to meet each other and begin working together to grow the Home Performance industry in the Kansas City region. It was held at the Project Living Proof building in Kansas City, MO.

Participants heard a presentation from Jerry Schechter of the Kansas City, MO Office of Environmental Quality, about EnergyWorks KC, a new program funded by the federal Department of Energy’s Better Buildings initiative, which aims to transform the energy efficiency market across the Kansas City metropolitan area.

After the presentation, attendees engaged in a discussion about the needs of the local industry — expanding consumer awareness about home performance, working with local programs and policymakers to spark industry growth and more.

“As owner of a new Home Performance company in Kansas City, I’m looking forward to meeting others in the industry and working with them to create local industry growth,” said Donna Sanders of 106 Greenway, who has helped spearhead efforts to get the chapter launched. “The Kansas City region has huge opportunities for growth in the energy efficiency sector. Our member companies are ready to step up to the plate and help more local homeowners improve the comfort, air quality and energy efficiency of their homes – and create good, green jobs in the process.”
