Save Energy and Benefit Your River Hill Neighbors!

The Columbia Smart Energy Challenge, a six-month program that began January 1, encourages individuals to improve comfort while reducing energy bills through home energy upgrades leveraging BGE’s Home Performance with the ENERGY STAR Program. The Smart Energy Challenge provides additional incentives to Columbia residents as a way to raise awareness and increase the number of audits conducted.

Join the Columbia Smart Energy Challenge:

•Home energy audits are $100 (a $400 value).

•Rebates cut the cost of energy improvements by 50 percent (up to $2,000 total).

•Earn $50 when you refer a friend who completes an energy audit.

•Help your neighbors! Any Columbia village that completes at least 10 energy audits during the challenge period will have a celebration—with 100 free LED lightbulb giveaways to residents.

The Smart Energy Challenge is a collaboration between the Columbia Association (CA) and Retrofit Baltimore. For more information, visit RetrofitBaltimore.org/Columbia or join CA on March 9 at Historic Oakland (5430 Vantage Point Road, Columbia) to learn about the Smart Energy Challenge. Attendees get a free LED bulb! The information session starts at 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided.
