At the Sept. 24th, Landlord Training on Energy Efficiency for Rental Property, we learned about:

•         Energy Efficiency Rebates and Incentives from Ameren and Spire

 Ameren’s one-stop-shop service provides free assessments of the energy improvement needs of a whole building, then recommends improvements with the best ROI, provides cost estimates, lists rebates for both Ameren & Spire, can refer contractors, or even manage the improvements on your behalf. Call 636-628-6463 or 314-330-4610 for a free assessment.

 The US Green Building Council is hosting a Benchmarking Help Session. Get a pro to assist in utilizing the Energy Star Portfolio Manager, to track your building’s energy use. Help Sessions are 10/29, 11/7, & 12/17. Learn more here.
