Abstract

In the fall of 1980, the management of Rodale Press decided to develop a benefit package that would help its employees to substantially reduce their home energy bills. The result of several months of planning is a comprehensive package of solar and conservation services that are offered free of charge to all Rodale employees. The aim of this paper is to describe how these services operate, and to demonstrate why they represent a unique and effective solution to the difficulties that often stand in the way of residential retrofit.
