Information Collection and Use

We provide you the opportunity to participate an energy survey on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), demographic information (such as zip code), and specific information about energy use and costs.

The primary data collected will be used by Eco-Grid's feasibility-study (Eco-Grid Biomass-Fired District CHP/Heating and Cooling System) engineering team to calculate heat loads in the buildings to which the data pertains and from which it was extracted.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Eco-Grid is a non-profit organization affiliated with CEEP, Inc. Eco-Grid will use energy data received from building owners/operators in Hudson and Greenport, NY for the purposes of its feasibility study of a district-energy system in Hudson and Greenport, NY. Eco-Grid will not sell this data for commercial purposes. This data may be used for the benefit of any non-profit or for-profit entity that would own and/or operate the district-energy system. In order to bring this idea to a concrete plan, Eco-Grid is seeking local community input, and researching international and US examples on how such an entity would be created in Hudson and Greenport, NY.
