On Friday, three KFTC members, three KFTC staff, and two staff members from MACED's E3 (Energy Efficient Enterprises) program performed and observed an energy audit of KFTC's office in London.
The office in London is the only building that KFTC owns. The building was completely remodeled in the late 1990s. In recent years, KFTC's member leaders have pointed out how important it is for our own office to be energy efficient, especially as we do work in the community to promote energy efficiency. In 2011, the Renew East Kentucky strategy team of members added an audit and upgrade to KFTC's program of work. The photos below document the assessment process--the first step in making the office more energy efficient and possibly even eventually generating its own electricity.
