Description ABOUT THIS VIDEO
There may be no better proof that a home energy-efficiency upgrade
can be a win-win for homeowners, the environment and our struggling
economy, than when you visit the town of Babylon, N.Y. Meet Muriel and
Harold Schechtel, already living in a cozier home and seeing significant
new savings thanks to their town's trailblazing Long Island Green Homes
Program. Offering upgrades to residents at absolutely no upfront cost
as well as creating a demand for jobs that will not be outsourced
overseas, the program is proving to be a total success. Especially for
residents such as the Schechtels and Rich Manning, an LIGHP energy
auditor who has seen a ten-fold demand in his business since the
inception of the program.
