The state&#8217;s energy efficiency program, <a class=\"wpgallery\" title=\"Focus on Energy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.focusonenergy.com\" target=\"_blank\">Focus on Energy<\/a>, has long promoted energy evaluations and energy efficiency improvements through a cash rewards program. A group of independent Focus on Energy (FoE) Allies have come together to make an incredible, no-strings-attached offer to donate a significant portion of their FoE rewards to Sustainable Atwood.<\/p>\n<p>**Must be verified by your consultant as meeting Focus on Energy criteria in a post-test report.<\/p>\n<p>This offer is contingent upon Focus on Energy&#8217;s continued reward program for referrals, evaluations, and improvements. All FoE allies are independent contractors. As such, no individual ally is responsible for a commitment made by others. Any ally may withdraw from this offer at any time for any reason.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, this offer is a gift, not a contract.<\/p>\n<p>The offer is only valid for homeowners in the Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahara boundaries. Other neighborhood organizations are encouraged to ask about joining in on the fun.<\/p>\n<p>For more information feel free to contact Mike Barrett, Principal, Lead Researcher, and Energy Efficiency Coach at UrbanThoreau LLC: 608-345-2621; mikeb@urbanthoreau.com; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/\">urbanthoreau.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>UrbanThoreau LLC is a Focus on Energy Ally.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Mark Kanvik and Twink Jan-McMahon for helping develop this fundraising program!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UrbanThoreau LLC teams up with Sustainable Atwood to green homes across the neighborhood!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[175,18,10,5,11],"tags":[78,895,893,899,896,897,898,900,651,901],"class_list":["post-1539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-architecture","category-creative-business","category-energy-efficiency","category-environment","category-places-that-dont-suck","tag-energy-star","tag-focus-on-energy","tag-home-performance","tag-laura-paprocki","tag-mark-fredenberg","tag-mark-kanvik","tag-mark-lydon","tag-steve-pipson","tag-sustainable-atwood","tag-urbanthoreau-llc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1539"}],"version-history":[{"count":40,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1571,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1539\/revisions\/1571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
