The High Country Conservation Center operates the Renewable & Efficient Energy Project (REEP) as one of its main focus areas. 

Basic Energy Audit Program
The Basic Energy Audit Program assists homeowners and renters in identifying the simple steps they can take to boost energy savings and efficiency in their homes. An auditor will walk through the common areas of your home with you and identify the challenges to your energy efficiency goals.

Upon completion of the one hour walk-thru, the auditor will complete a narrative report outlining the points you discussed. In addition to the report, you will receive information on what and how to make the upgrades. Audit participants also receive a discount on Energy Audit related products at the Ecoasis in Breckenridge.

Appointments are only taken throughout the winter months. Call to schedule your audit and start saving resources and money today! 668-5703 or beth@highcountryconservation.org

This year's FEEE is on Saturday, October 5th and will be held at the Ecoasis located behind the Bighorn Paint Store (next to 7-11) on County Road 450.
