Farmington Hills spotlights green building incentives

Federal stimulus funds are making Farmington Hills a more sustainable community. The city is offering green building and sustainability incentives for local residents and businesses.

"We know we can't do it by ourselves," says Nate Geinzer, management assistant for the city of Farmington Hills.

The city's new Energy Efficiency Incentive Program is trying to reduce fossil fuel emissions and total energy use by creating more energy efficiency in the building, transportation, and other sectors.

The program is designed to empower residents and businesses to make informed decisions regarding energy efficiency improvements through a comprehensive energy audit. It will provide cash incentives to those interested in conducting the audits or installing eligible energy efficient or renewable energy products in existing buildings. Think Energy Star appliances, solar panels, insulation, and everything else that makes someone want to hug a tree.

It will also provide an extra incentive to individuals putting off needed improvements due to financial or other reasons, and expand the market for advanced energy efficiency and renewable energy technology.

For information on the program, call the Farmington Hills Green Efforts Committee or the Farmington Hills Building Division at 248-871-2450 or click here.
