The workshop will be in two sessions on Nov. 1 at the West Wyandotte Public Library, 1737 N.82nd St., Kansas City, Kan. The sessions are from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. and from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

Seating is limited for the workshop. To register for the afternoon or evening session, contact David Allen at 913-573-9922 or [email protected], by Friday, Oct. 28.

These topics will be discussed:
• How to use Energy Engage, BPU’s newest online tool that allows customers to track energy and water use in their home.
• The Wonderful World of Energy Efficiency – How being energy efficient pays you back with monthly and yearly savings.
