Project Lightbulb

Project Lightbulb makes home energy visits in select low-to-moderate income Baltimore communities. Teams of AmeriCorps members provide residents with information on ways to reduce home energy use and install Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL), energy-efficient fixtures, hot water heater wraps, and carbon monoxide/smoke detectors. According to energy comparisons from BGE, a Project Lightbulb visit results in an average monthly electricity savings of 53 kWh per home (approximately $90 each year).

Project Lightbulb is currently serving the communities of Belair-Edison, Coldstream-Homestead-Montebello, Harwood, HEBCAC, Mondawmin, Remington, and Waverly, as well as housing operated by GEDCO. For more information or to schedule a Project Lightbulb visit, please contact Michael Marren at 410-366-8533 ext. 208 or lightbulb@civicworks.com.
