The new year is upon us and Carpenter’s,  like many of you, have set out to make 2012 the best year yet! Earlier last year we invited the City of Alexandria to assess the shelter for energy efficiency. The EPA has determined three categories of energy efficiency and Carpenter’s Shelter is just 15 points away from ranking in the highest category. Our new years resolution is to be more green! We’ve taken the first step toward energy efficiency by replacing our old thermostats with new programmable ones, but we still have more work to do. Check out our energy report here.
