Open those windows!
It’s springtime in Iowa, time to open windows and let the fresh air in! Welcome to the Spring issue of Good Energy, a tip sheet on lowering energy use especially for residents of Johnson County. In this issue, you’ll find short articles (with links to longer articles for the deep divers) on household energy efficiency and ways to pay for it, cool roofs, permeable yards, e-bikes, and – with a nod to the nation’s changing climate – severe weather preparedness and generators. Appliance reviews and rebates round things out. Check out the spring issue of Good Energy or download a PDF here. As always, you can sign up for your free publication of Good Energy at the Johnson Clean Energy District website or find it in community newsletters around the county.
