Over 1,000 homeowners have agreed to let their homes be reviewed by Energy Trust of Oregon, including OSU President Ed Ray

"We also look at the heating and cooling ducts and check for telltale signs of leakage. If we see any of these signs, we suggest to the customer to get their ducts pressure tested so that they are not wasting any more energy than necessary."
Energy Trust would like to complete these reviews by the end of summer. In order to review such a large number of homes, the ETO is hiring for full-time ETO expert review positions for mid-June through mid-September.
"The recruitment and interview process is going to begin in May," Trelstad said.
"Positions will be posted by the end of March on the OSU sustainability Web site. Students will be hired and trained by the ETO."
For Corvallis homeowners who are interested in participating in an energy review, online registration is available at the ETO Web site, http://www.energytrust.org/residential/index.html.
Renters, including students, can be involved in the campaign, if they challenge their landlords to sign up for a home energy review.
Renters who are successful in getting their landlords to enroll will be entered into a drawing for a $500 gift certificate.
