More about Renew Boston: By providing free insulation and other cost-saving measures, Renew Boston is helping income-eligible residents cut home heating and cooling costs by as much as 30%, while working toward the Mayor's aggressive climate change goals for Boston. Boston's older building stock accounts for nearly 70% of the city's greenhouse gas emissions, the leading contributor to global warming. Renew Boston will help lower citywide emissions, while saving Boston residents over $3.4 million in annual energy costs, and creating 58 local green jobs. All the air inside an average house in Boston is replaced by cold, outdoor air once every hour. If a house isn't well-sealed and insulated, residents pay to heat up that cold air only to send it out the cracks between the walls, and surrounding ducts and wires. The Mayor said "We expect to reach 3,000 Boston households with no-cost energy efficiency services" through this program.
