Window Dressers Returns!
For the fourth year, Sustainable Hanover and the Norwich Energy Committee are collaborating with the Maine-based nonprofit, Window Dressers (www.windowdressers.org) to make window inserts for Norwich and Hanover residents. The inserts are easy to install, remove and reuse. They let light in, keep drafts out, and reduce heating costs (on average, about 10 gallons of heating fuel per insert per year).
Window Dressers Update
The third Norwich/Hanover Window Dressers Build is now complete! This year the Norwich Congregational Church was host. 268 window inserts were made by 115 volunteers for forty-one households between September 29 and October 5. According to Window Dressers, one medium pine insert may save an average of 8.5 gallons of heating oil every year, for an estimated savings of $15 – $43 per year, depending on variations in fuel price.

Volunteers Build Window Inserts (Part 2)
In the Fall 2021 issue of the Sustainable Hanover Committee Newsletter, Yolanda Baumgartner wrote an article about the Window Dressers project that was taking place in November at the Norwich Congregational Church. This article is a report of how the project worked out.
Volunteers Build Window Inserts
The Norwich Congregational Church will be buzzing with activity from November 10 to 16 as volunteers gather to build 200 insulating window inserts destined for local homes. By lowering heating bills and reducing CO2 emissions, the inserts will help 28 households achieve a lower carbon footprint while staying more comfortable over the winter.
