On behalf of Sustainability Victoria, Knox City Council is inviting its residents to participate in the GreenHouse Project - a new service showing you easy ways to save energy, time and money around the home. The project is being delivered in Knox by the national environmental company, Low Energy Supplies and Services.
The project aims to recruit up to 1,000 Knox families to undergo an energy assessment of your home, which will help assess where most energy is used in your home. The program focuses on providing targeted advice and recommendations backed up with the offer of ongoing support and mentoring.

| Services involve the following steps: | |
FREE Energy Assessment
The in-home energy assessment will help households understand where they use the most energy and introduce them to practical ways of making big savings. Four levels of assessments are available for residents to choose from - 10, 30 and 60 minute in-home assessments by trained experts or a DIY assessment on line. Weekday and weekend home assessments are available.
FREE energy saving light bulbs installed
All homes assessed will also be eligible for replacement of incandescent light globes. Allow around 30 minutes for the installation of new lights.
FREE ongoing support
All households are invited to sign up for regular email newsletters, containing the latest news, tips and Government incentives to help households save even more money in the future. Residents can participate in the on-line forum, or ask a question through the website or by phoning the helpdesk on 1300 174 101.

| Bookings | | As the program is a pilot, the booking is for a limited time and limited to the first 1,000 Knox households. Residents need to call 1300 174 101 or visit www.resourcesmart.vic.gov.au/ghp. Households that sign up by 14 September 2009 have a chance to WIN a free ‘home cleaning service for one year’ or an ‘Eco Lodge holiday for a family of four’. Conditions apply.
