The NHSaves Button Up workshop is a one and a half hour presentation about how to improve home energy efficiency.

The workshop also covers details about the energy efficiency programs offered by New Hampshire utilities to provide energy audits and weatherization, rebates on electric and gas appliances as well as new construction.
