Hjeseth said, "It’s a lot of simple things that everyone can do. We know that a lot of people costs that prohibit them from making energy efficient improvements, so we will be doing a lot of education. But we will also be able to supply them with products to help them." The plan will also collect data to help homeowners make changes to their homes to improve efficiency.
