Energy Efficiency Programs in New Hampshire


Residential Energy Efficiency Programs
These programs provide financial and technical assistance to improve home energy efficiency and save on energy bills. Energy efficiency also provides benefits to the State’s economy and environment.

Energy Project Connector

The New England Carbon Challenge, a joint initiative of the University of NH and Clean Air-Cool Planet, is proud to announce the release of its new comprehensive web tool - the Energy Project Connector. This web tool, developed in partnership with NH Sustainable Energy Association (NHSEA) and UNH Cooperative Extension makes starting a home energy project much easier. You can find the tool here: http://myenergyplan.net/

So how does it work? It searches all the federal, state and utility incentives available to New Hampshire residents for a home energy job and then provides a list of all the contractors and energy auditors who can do that work in a given area. The reported information is specific to each user based on where they live and what kind of project they are interested in pursuing. This tool compresses hours and hours of web research and investigation into a relatively simple 15 minute exercise.

Building Energy Efficiency Codes
Building energy efficiency codes are designed to reduce energy consumption.  In addition to saving money for energy and reducing environmental pollution associated with energy consumption, code-compliant buildings provide healthier and more comfortable spaces in which to live and work. These benefits last for the entire life of the building, which may be 100 years or more. Therefore, an investment in energy code compliance can yield very large returns. New Hampshire has two up-to-date Energy Codes, one for commercial buildings and one for residences.
