From Beau D’Arcy, Owner of Effortless Efficiency:

Dozens of Home Performance professionals from over 30 companies in Illinois attended the first meeting of Efficiency First Illinois –the new trade association for Home Performance companies across the state. The event took place at the offices of the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) in downtown Chicago.

The crowd represented many different facets of the efficiency market. We had whole home performance contractors, insulators, HVAC companies, window installers, energy auditors/raters, and some people who were looking to learn more about the home performance industry.

We talked about Efficiency First and why it will be important for us to have a local chapter, and explained how critical is was for everybody to become members of EF to help us “drive our own destiny”.
