Agenda: Selectmen to Discuss Energy Program, State Hospital and Cultural District

The Medfield Board of Selectmen are expected to discuss the Sagewell Mass Thermal Energy Program with Energy Committee member Fred Davis.

The program is part of the town's effort to increase energy efficiency information available to its residents. The selectmen have been asked by the town's Energy Committee to encourage Sagewell, Inc. to "conduct a street-level thermal heat loss measurement and analysis program in the winter of 2011-2012 and make the results of the review available to building owners for the purpose of upgrading the energy efficiency of their homes and buildings," according to the material the selectmen will review and discuss with Davis.
