The VCEM project was a five-month demonstration project relying on community volunteers to (1) increase awareness about energy savings opportunities in Vermonters homes and (2) achieve electrical and thermal energy savings through the installation of home energy saving products. Efficiency Vermont (EVT) partnered with local energy committees and other community groups to implement this program at the community level.
