businesses to increase their profits by becoming more energy
efficient. As part of this mission, the Smart Energy Design
Assistance Center wants to inform our eligible rural program
participants who are considering the implementation of recommended
improvements about the numerous resources available.
Also, please know that you are always welcome to call us
with any questions you may have about your building's unique
needs or your progress towards implementing energy efficient
upgrades. We are here to help you save money and energy.
