How about that!?! ~ Paradigm Energy Services was established 20 years ago in 2006, and our head-honcho was first certified by the Building Performance Institute, Inc. (BPI) 17 years ago in 2009! Yeah us! 🤓😎
And hey - a big shout-out to all the great folks at the Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency - it's been a pleasure to work with such dedicated people doing such good work.

The HEES Department would like to extend a Congratulations to Ric Evans, NMCAA contractor, who recently achieved his Energy Auditor Certification through the Building Performance Institute!

Energy auditors evaluate homes to identify energy efficiency opportunities, health and safety hazards, and minor repair needs, with the goal of reducing energy use, lowering utility bills, and improving comfort for low-income residents.

Wow - the last Earthwork Harvest Gathering is just a couple of weeks away - Sept 20-22, and how bittersweet it will be. We’ve been a proud sponsor since the earlier days with the solar trailer, and if you’ve appreciated the solar string lights on the Porta-Jon’s for all these years, well that’s our handy work! 😎🔥😆
And they’re getting all charged up for one more go. Huge shout-out to all the HG crew for so many amazing memories 👊🏼🌞

We are super proud to be a supporter and sponsor of the Earthwork Harvest Gathering once again this year, providing all of the Porta-jons with solar lights! In case you have never attended this amazing festival, find yourself there!!

Earthwork Harvest Gathering is a remarkable feat of community...
And building that community takes a dedicated staff, an army of volunteers, and crucially: a raft of sponsors who are believers in what we are here to accomplish.

Besides the satisfaction of knowing your support helps this event happen, sponsors receive a wide variety of perks, including free passes to the festival, recognition in print and online, and exposure to the gathering audience, with on-stage shoutouts.

From big corporations to small shops, there is a sponsorship level for you, from "River Otter" up to "Barn Raiser," with packages starting at $250.
With your help and generosity, we can work together to ensure a great time full of music and fellowship.

And here is where we'll shout out our current sponsors!

Thank you to the Charlevoix Public Library for inviting me to talk about a topic I know and love - Energy! Please join me this Tuesday evening, April 30 from 6-8pm where I look forward to some engaging dialogue around where we're at within the energy world and some of the fascinating and challenging issues and decisions ahead. I'll be covering some home and small business energy efficiency options all the way up to the dynamics of our national electric grid, so buckle up - it's gonna be fun!

Few would argue that we are living in some incredibly dynamic times within the electrical utility space and the energy world in general, so while we can't cover it all in a couple of hours, we can have some fun talking through a whole bunch of it.

We certainly have some Q&A time built in as well, so bring your questions and I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

We are hearing more and more about Energy ~ clean energy, energy efficiency, going green, carbon free power, EV's, beneficial electrification, solar, energy storage/batteries, and the list goes on. Come learn about some energy system basics, how all that stuff fits together, and how it relates to al...

Super interesting idea and very scalable! With more universal battery systems for all the mobility options out there, this would be killer in urban areas.
