Create an Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Energy Systems Web Portal (RCI Action 4.5)

Develop a searchable, web-based clearinghouse to hasten the adoption of energy efficiency and sustainable energy products and technologies. The portal would serve a range of specific New Hampshire audiences, including local energy committees, city and town managers, business owners, industrial and commercial facility managers, and residents. The portal would provide each specific target audience with the resources needed to make informed decisions concerning the available options to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., currently available products/services/technologies, costs, projected savings, installers or contractors, online calculators, and tax and/or rebate incentives). Although numerous websites give information of this sort, there is currently no web-based clearinghouse for those who are evaluating purchasing sustainable energy products and technologies or have decided to buy products or services and need additional information.
