Alli Petrouche, sustainability coordinator at the Charleston County Sustainability and Resilience Department, said the county will host a free residential energy-savings workshop on Wednesday, May 20 at the downtown main library on Calhoun Street.
Petrouche said the event is a partnership with the city of Charleston and the Sustainability Institute, a local nonprofit, and that attendees will hear from an energy auditor and other experts about ways to reduce electricity, water and gas bills. Topics will include sealing homes, adding insulation, choosing efficient appliances and switching to LED lighting.
The county will provide conservation kits to attendees containing LED light bulbs, a power strip and other small items to help residents reduce energy use. Petrouche said staff will also share resources and program referrals for additional support from local partners such as the Berkeley Co-op and Dominion Energy.
Petrouche described the workshop as lecture-style with experts available for individual questions and said it is intended to give residents practical steps to lower utility bills as temperatures rise in summer months. Listeners were directed to Charleston County's website for event details and any signup information.
No registration fee was announced in the transcript; Petrouche encouraged residents to check the county website for future workshops on sustainability topics.
