Thank you for your inter­est in the Howard County Home Energy Audit Program!

The appli­ca­tion win­dow is now closed.  Over 1,700 peo­ple applied for audits, and they will con­tinue to be awarded in the next two to three weeks.

Once the audits have all been com­pleted, the County Office of Envi­ron­men­tal Sus­tain­abil­ity will be work­ing to com­pile the rec­om­men­da­tions that come from the audit reports.  Check back this sum­mer for more infor­ma­tion on the results of the program.
