The Long Island Green Homes Consortium, which comprises seven towns, including the Town of Brookhaven, hopes the answer to that question is a resounding, "Sounds great, sign me up." 

The consortium was first formed in 2009 to apply for a grant from the Department of Energy to retrofit neighborhoods in conjunction with utility programs.

Residents can receive a free or low cost home audit, where a contractor will provide recommendations on how to make a home more energy efficient. There is also low-interest financing available to cover energy-efficiency improvements. 

The program is open to anyone in the Town of Brookhaven who owns a home and is up to date on their property taxes. For more info and to get started on turning your home green, visit: http://ligreenhomes.com/
