Retrofit A Million



Retrofit A Million (LRAM) connects “communities of modest means” with water and energy efficiency products to catalyze a dialogue about sustainability through a unique field-based, service-learning opportunity. LRAM does this by directly supporting and catalyzing the power of campus-based and community-based organizations with resources including project planning support, energy and water saving products and seed funding.  

The Community Retrofit Day of Action (RDA) is LRAM’s signature community engagement, advocacy, and leader activation program, hosted by LRAM-assisted organizations. During this 5.5-hour ecological immersion, service-learning opportunity, 20 harvest teams of six (a captain, data manager, energy assessor and three product handlers) canvass an assigned area of responsibility to deliver direct-to-door efficiency investment packages while performing a full water kit and lighting retrofit (including up to 25 bulbs.) In addition, the harvest teams conducts a baseline energy assessment and shares with eligible and/or qualifying recipients Awareness 2 Action and product disposal literature packages.  While the harvest teams are delivering said efficiency investment packages the recipient is invited to complete an impact profile and environmental awareness survey.  Following a 90-day adjustment period, volunteers reconnect with recipients, via telephone, to determine monetary savings and to provide additional green solutions supplied by Fund partners. This follow-up also allows for LRAM staff or volunteers to ensure the integrity of the efficiency investment packages and further increase awareness of energy saving options.

 

LRAM is a Georgia nonprofit corporation and IRS-recognized 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization with the Georgia Conservancy acting as our fiscal agent. To date, LRAM has installed 30,337 green solutions including CFLs, water kits and Low-Flow Toilets a projected savings of $7,135,405.84.
