I live in a historic house. What is Forest City going to do about making our homes more energy-efficient?
Forest City has a long-range operating budget that addresses initiatives to improve energy inefficiencies in all homes. There are a few limitations when working on historic homes due to historic preservation rules. For the short-term, Forest City has assembled a home assessment team and has begun contacting residents starting with the highest energy consumers listed on their July 2010 consumption data. The team is offering to visit these homes and take a look at possible reasons in the home that might be contributing to the high consumption. They will also use this opportunity to discuss with the resident possible behavioral reasons for the high consumption. From a billing standpoint, please keep in mind that your monthly electric bill is based on a comparison of your home only to similar homes that have the same efficiencies and inefficiencies as yours.
