			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The REALTOR® Foundation has recently formed a partnership with Energizing Indiana, an initiative to complete energy audits on thousands of homes in central Indiana.<br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1552" style="margin: 5px;" title="Energizing-Indianaweb" src="http://realtorfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Energizing-Indianaweb.png" alt="" width="200" height="74" /></p>
<p><strong>What is energizing Indiana? </strong>Energizing Indiana is a united effort by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, participating utilities, and consumer organizations to offer comprehensive energy efficiency programs that bring savings to communities across the state<strong>. </strong>Energizing Indiana saves energy and strengthens the economy. Energizing Indiana gives each resident the avenues to find the best and most convenient path to lead them to the right decision for their family, business and community.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #3a9210;"><strong><br />
How does the Foundation benefit? </strong></span></h2>
<p><strong></strong>To kick start the program,<strong> Energizing Indiana will donate $25 to the Foundation for each audit that is done (up to $25,000)!</strong></p>
<h2><span style="color: #3a9210;"><strong><br />
How do REALTORS® and members benefit? </strong></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Great information to share with your clients.</strong> The audit is FREE, but those who participate will receive tips on making their homes more energy efficient, and they will also receive a energy kit with light bulbs, low flow shower heads and low flow faucet aerators! What a <strong>GREAT</strong> way to help get your clients started on the right foot and <strong>save money!</strong></li>
<li><strong>Simple but HELPFUL</strong> way to help raise money for the Foundation. We cannot make an impact on homelessness without YOU!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<h2><span style="color: #008000;"><br />
Who can participate?</span></h2>
<p>If you are a customer of IPL, Duke Energy, Indiana Michigan Power, NIPSCO, IMPA or Vectren and you own a home that is more than 10 years old (or if you are a renter, the electric bill has to be in your name), you are eligible to have your home audited for its energy consumption.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008000;"><br />
Spread the word!</span></h2>
<p>More people participating means more money for the REALTOR® Foundation!<br />
Share this with your clients, your office, your friends, family and neighbors.<br />
<strong>And don&#8217;t forget, you can participate too!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class=" wp-image-1564 aligncenter" title="Energy Saver Kit2" src="http://realtorfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Energy-Saver-Kit2.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="264" /> </strong></p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.realtorfoundation.org/Assessment%20Application%20-%20REALTOR%20Foundation.pdf" target="_blank"><br />
Click here</a></span> <span style="color: #000000;">to download the application form!</span></h2>
<p><em>Fill out the application using the Foundation&#8217;s code (already populated).</em><br />
<em> Wait for Energizing Indiana to schedule a time with you.<br />
</em><em>The audit will take 1 hour.<br />
</em><em><strong>NO cost is involved.</strong><br />
</em><em>Receive your energy kit when your audit is performed.<br />
</em><em>Receive a report on your home with tips on how to be more energy efficient!</em></p>
