Cedar Falls, IA – The Iowa
Power Fund Board approved a grant to support this year’s I-Renew Energy &
Sustainability Expo. The grant will go towards promoting the event statewide as
well as to produce DVDs of 12 of the 70 workshops offered at the event. “The
Iowa Renewable Energy Association has proven its annual Expo is the place to be
to learn about renewable energy and energy efficiency”, said Michelle Kenyon
Brown, I-Renew Executive Director. “The support from the Iowa Power Fund and the
Office of Energy Independence will enable us to bring in a larger audience, an
audience that is growing everyday as energy costs are hitting everyone’s
pocketbook.”
The 17th I-Renew
Energy & Sustainability EXPO will be held Sept. 13-14, 2008, at the
University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Energy & Environmental Education
(CEEE) in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The
EXPO feature 70 workshops, 80 exhibitors, and demonstrations providing
information on renewable energy, energy efficiency, green building, renewable
fuels, and sustainable living.
“The I-Renew Expo is the
largest event of this type in Iowa,” says Kara Beauchamp, I-Renew Board President.
“This years’ expo will be the biggest and the best we have ever had. Increasing
energy prices have generated more interest in energy efficiency and renewable
energy. The I-Renew Expo is the perfect place for people to get their questions
answered while having a great time.”
The EXPO gives the general
public, building contractors, installers and others the opportunity to talk
directly with Iowa’s energy experts to learn new ways to build greener and live
greener using renewable energy.
Demonstrations of solar
power, wind power, a hydrogen fuel cell, electric cars, cars that run on
alternative fuels, and much more will be at the site in and around the CEEE
building. The EXPO runs 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13; and 10:30 a.m. –
4:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 14. Admission is $10 per day; however, I-Renew members
pay no admission. Memberships are available at the
door.
