- Council received a presentation and Ecotrust’s final report on a Home Energy Retrofit Feasibility study, presented by project lead Josephine Schrott. The study found, among other things, that converting your home from natural gas to a heat pump system alongside some simple insulation upgrades can save you over $2,000 annually in energy bills, and is the equivalent of taking 2 cars off the road per household.
