Hi, I plan an article or series of Q/A sessions around "what are the most effective building energy efficiency programs?" I'd like to know about a resource like yours that provides an advisor who would answer the above question. There are many community-level planners now weighing various program concepts and designs who may have little or no energy experience and the article, to run in Home Energy Magazine, will hopefully be a resource. I'm aware of the Rocky Mountain Institute community energy planning tool & want to learn about others.
