Energy efficiency: everyone knows the phrase, but what does it really mean?
Pacific Power, in collaboration with the Oregon Main Street Program and Energy Trust of Oregon, recognized the need to reach out to small commercial property owners and businesspeople with this question. They partnered with Clatsop Community College’s historic preservation program to create both a booklet and a traveling lecture series.

This September, Pacific Power is holding a series of free luncheons about the benefits of energy efficiency in historic commercial buildings. They are targeting customers who have a building in need of renovation, who are looking for ways to revitalize their Main Street, or who simply love old buildings.
Attendees will receive a free copy of Pacific Power’s booklet “Historic Preservation & Energy Efficiency: A Guide for Historic Commercial Buildings.” College instructors Lucien Swerdloff and John Goodenberger will share case studies of Oregon buildings enjoying renewed vitality through historic preservation and energy efficiency.
They will also be highlighting:
- How to make basic energy-efficient upgrades while preserving a building’s historic details.
- How preserving historic buildings is an effective economic development tool for communities.
- Wattsmart® programs, incentives, and other funding sources to help with restoration projects.
