Albany Clean Energy Conservation Corps: Operation Weatherize Albany
Operation Weatherize Albany is an energy efficiency program for homeowners. We are training students to do simple energy efficiency measures and then go into area homes in teams and help homeowners install these upgrades. Training sessions are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 23 or 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Hudson Valley Community College’s Pressure House located next to College Suites at 100 Morrison Ave. in Troy. (If students are under 17 years of age, they will need parental permission.)
