Are your windows leaking in hot air in the summer and out hot air in the winter? Are you looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency to lower costs and help the environment? In this talk, Meaghan Lasala, Program Manager at WindowDressers, will talk about methods you can use to improve your windows.

WindowDressers is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization dedicated to helping Northern New England residents reduce heating costs, fossil fuel consumption, and CO-2 emissions by lowering the amount of heat loss through windows. Lasala will discuss the benefits of insulating window inserts, which WindowDressers provides for free to low-income households and a low cost to other households. Audience questions, both general and situation specific, are encouraged. Meaghan Lasala has been active in the climate movement for years and has been working for WindowDressers since 2018.

This talk is part two of two programs co-sponsored by the Rockland Energy and Sustainability Committee and the Rockland Public Library. The first, “How to Create an Energy Efficient Home,” will go over the benefits available to you for free from Efficiency Maine and will be presented by Lily McVetty on July 28 at 6:30 PM.

This event will take place via Zoom. Seating will also be available in the library’s Community Room to watch the Zoom call onscreen; the Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union Street. For more information or for Zoom links to join from home, please email elewis@rocklandmaine.gov by 4 p.m. on August 4 and identify the event you are interested in attending in the subject line.
