Brookfield Energy Committee
(BEC)
Purpose
The purpose of The Brookfield Energy Committee (BEC) is to promote resource conservation, energy efficiency, create initiatives for use of renewable energy and conservation measures within all municipal buildings, as well as encouraging homeowners and local businesses to explore similar means. The committee will provide education to the community on energy, environmental and related topics, as well as seek out grants and funding availability for energy conservation. In addition, the Committee will serve in an advisory and supportive role to the Board of Selectmen (BOS). In this advisory role, BEC shall provide quarterly reports covering short and long term recommendations for action by the BOS and other appropriate officials of the Town. BEC shall investigate possible collaborative relationships with other like minded organizations and communities.
Goals and Objectives
While the Committee should be charged with reevaluating its goals and objectives every two years, based on the immediate needs of the community and the progress made, some guidelines will include:
· Educating the public on conservation, energy savings, resources and programs available for rebates.
· Reducing energy consumption in town assets, and planning for future energy conservation and efficiency, thereby leading to reducing town expenses.
· Research resources and grants available to municipalities from federal, state, regional and private entities.
· Work with other communities, educational institutions, and other energy organizations
· Investigate programs and opportunities to institute energy savings which would benefit residents and municipal organizations.
Members:
Marcia Wilkins , Henry Pietras, John Burke
The committee meets at 6:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month at town hall.
This schedule may occasionally fluctuate.
