It was used as an example of the town’s efforts to “go green”, along with the energy audit completed last year and their first action steps of replacing incandescent building lights with compact fluorescent bulbs and switching street lights to energy-efficient LEDs, on which Town Engineer Paul Lasek commented. Greener Bloomfield also received mentions for its encouragement of the town’s efforts and for the work done to insert green building specifications in the Bloomfield Center Redevelopment Plan.

We’ll feature additional posts about the details behind the town’s Paperless Council project, which was implemented by Greener Bloomfield organizer John Palomaki. We’ll also highlight Greener Bloomfield’s work in getting green building and other sustainability details into the Redevelopment Plan, which is being sent to the Planning Board for approval. Greener Bloomfield organizer Meredith Nole, an energy efficient lighting expert with Warshauer Electric and President of the Illuminating Engineers Society of New Jersey, will be working on a lighting assessment for the town’s light bulb replacements.
