After transportation, heating is our region’s second largest source of energy use and carbon emissions. Fortunately it’s easier than ever to heat and cool our homes, businesses, and public buildings with energy that is efficient, affordable, local, and clean.

Conventional heating and cooling technologies rely on fossil fuels. Forget heating with dinosaurs, Renewable Energy Vermont works to advance efficient renewable heating solutions such as heat pumps, advanced wood heating, and geothermal. Whether you live in Vermont or New Hampshire, their resources are a great place to start.
