Greenburgh, NY: Cutting Energy and Carbon

The Town of Greenburgh has joined ICLEI and is committed to reducing our energy use and carbon footprint. A grant from NYS subsidized the cost of solar collectors on Town Hall which currently save the town over $26,000 a year.

In early 2006, we completed an energy efficiency retrofit installing new high-efficiency lights and occupancy sensors in Town Hall. In 2002, we passed a new residential building code that has so far resulted in over 80 new residences being built to Energy Star standards, reducing their energy costs and carbon emissions approximately 30% for each new Energy Star home. We are working on a new commercial code.
