First Ammonoosuc Regional Energy Fair To promote North Country Energy Committees; To share ways and means to decrease our energy use and supply our energy needs using sustainable resources; To encourage their application in our homes, organizations, businesses, and governments. Do you want to reduce your energy consumption? Save money?   On Saturday, April 5, 2008 the Ammonoosuc Regional Energy Fair swept us into the learning process. Sponsored by the Energy Committees of Bethlehem, Franconia, and Littleton, and by Public Service of New Hampshire, this first-in-the-North-Country event drew many local residents and business people into the new Profile School. Tours conducted by Rich Larcom, Principle of Profile, highlighted the many energy savings included in the design and construction of the new building.       Four hundred or more people enjoyed exchanges with thirty-two exhibitors, learning about practical, sustainable energy systems and ways to decrease the energy they use in their homes, organizations and businesses.   PSNH and NHEC were there to encourage participation in their energy efficiency programs. Many people bought energy-saving compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) @ $1.00.     Amid the background buzz of the exhibit hall, Patrick Miller, past Executive Director of the Jordan Institute, captured an attentive audience with a convincing call to action.   Local residents and business people talked with builders, energy conservation experts, solar, wind and geothermal energy systems installers, pellet stove dealers, and building remodeling and insulation suppliers.     In the afternoon, illustrated "Discovery Sessions," about saving energy at home, energy audits and home improvements, and new home building technologies and techniques - were surprising and informative.   We heard many very appreciative comments from both attendees and exhibitors about the value of their day at the fair. This is your invitation to visit, or revisit, the fair, - on this website.   Come to the Fair online by visiting our exhibitors through our Links page.   Special thanks to Jude LePine, Technical Coordinator at the Profile School for supplying the photos for this page.
