March 26, 2011 was a bright sunny day, and over 950 people from across Northern Vermont and New Hampshire traveled to Lyndon State College to attend NVDA’s third annual Northeast Kingdom Energy Expo. They came to talk with industry leaders and learn firsthand from energy experts about energy conservation, renewable and alternative heating systems. This popular one-day event included forty-five energy-related exhibits to satisfy every interest: geothermal heat pumps, residential wind measurement, hybrid vehicles, programmable thermostats, foam insulation, rain water storage, heat recovery and ventilation systems, information about home energy audits, green jobs, car share programs, thermal window shades and pellet stoves. All that, and more! Large demo trailers were parked outside the main entrance to allow attendees to observe solar and bioheat demonstrations on site.
In addition to the Exhibit Hall, educational seminars were held throughout the day focusing on a variety of important energy topics. Workshop presenters, for example, gave interested audiences in-depth information about smart grid digital technology, well-designed solar hot water systems, and wood pellet options for homeowners, greenhouse operators and others who require light industrial heating applications.
Homeowners remain eager to learn more about residential energy audits to evaluate heating deficiencies and energy loss. Trained contractors were on hand to explain how diagnostic testing can detect heat loss, and how certified energy auditors undergo professional training to provide cost-effective home improvements.
Energy experts agree that the soaring cost of fuel oil is a reality. Renewable energy and energy conservation are on the minds of homeowners throughout the region. NVDA is committed to presenting this important annual event -- and admission is FREE.
