If you want to decarbonize your life, your car is 50% of the equation and HVAC is 50% of the remainder, after electrifying your car. So we need to get really good at heat pumps. Here's how Ric is doing it.

Michiganders, check out the latest MI Healthy Climate Plan report card; an annual update from EGLE on the clean energy transition. Check out three highlights

AN easy-to-implement solution that could save millions of tons of CO2 and hundreds of thousands of lives.

So if your AC dies before your furnace, or it might die soon because it's 10-15+ years old, pay attention! This is the easy way to switch to a heat pump, increasing comfort and lowering your carbon footprint

new Michigan legislation gives the state power to override local authorities in zoning renewable projects. A group called Citizens for Local Choice want to repeal Public Act 233, and put this power back in the hands of local zoning boards.

After being in residential and commercial energy efficiency for nearly a decade now, indoor air quality was not on my radar until the recent brouhaha over gas stove (so sorry to IAQ fans!). I’ve recently changed my tune after I finally got an air quality monitor!

At the end of the day, residential solar presents a compelling solution for homeowners looking to live more sustainably, reduce their energy costs, and help save our only known habitable planet.

Weatherization involves making improvements to your home's insulation, air sealing, and ventilation systems to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool your home. Weatherization might sound boring compared to magical heat pumps, space-age induction cooking, and reliable, resilient solar panels, but it has to remain the cornerstone of residential electrification.

Today I want to introduce you to my new pal, David. David is the Michigan rep for Greenworks Commercial. Green Projects Group has teamed up with Greenworks to help Michiganders make the switch from gas to electric lawn tools. I had a few questions I wanted to ask David, and I thought you might like to hear the conversation.

It’s the end of a good day. You’ve turned off all of your lights, you’ve shut down your computer and gaming system. You didn’t invite any supernatural creatures to hang out. But somewhere lurking in the dark is a sneaky little monster: vampire power. 🧛

With so many options out there, you might be wondering about the differences between the various lightbulbs on the market. Well, you’re in luck! Below is a quick summary of the main types; how they work, their main benefits, and their drawbacks. (Be sure to stick around for an embarrassing confession at the end.)

This is the story of how we electrified our lives. We're right at the beginning of that story today. Together, we can build a world that serves everyone.

Induction stoves solve all these problems, all while saving energy and minimizing the impact on the environment.

Recently I had a chance to chat with Dan Broersma on the Sustainably Dutch podcast. I have always had a passion for sustainability and contributing towards taking care of what we have and it was great to talk with a fellow sustainability lover.

In this interview, we talk about Ecopreneurship and shared a sneak peek of upcoming projects we have planned for Green Projects Group.

Our Free Lightbulb Program has helped thousands of Holland Board of Public Works (HBPW) customers save electricity by upgrading to LEDs.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which was signed into law this year (2022), includes both rebates and tax credits to help you offset your households energy costs.

Don’t you love when one of your biggest appliances goes out unexpectedly? No?! I’ll admit I was a little frazzled because we were without hot water for a whole day, but this misfortune genuinely made me happy because I had a plan to turn this situation to my advantage.

Meet Dan Broersma, Holland Sustainability Manager, sustainability guru, new partner in our upcoming energy efficiency 101 program, and all-around great guy. Dan’s not afraid to ask “Have you ever stopped and pondered your life and thought how in the hell did I get here?” So what’s that question all about?

Across the state of Michigan, utilities have focused diligently on energy efficiency for about 12 years. These programs – called energy waste reduction (EWR) programs, or just rebate programs – are what caused your utility to offer you money to upgrade your stuff!
