Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Purchasing Program
In order to provide the most competitive pricing to our members on a variety of high quality, Energy Star rated CFLs, IAMU submitted a Request for Proposal to multiple vendors.  After carefully evaluating the responses, IAMU selected the quote submitted by Service Concepts, a new IAMU Gold Level Associate Member.  The details of the price quotes and bulb specifications that IAMU received are detailed in a memo for your review.  We trust that you will find the prices to be very competitive and the bulbs of a high quality.   IAMU members can order directly from Service Concepts, who would ship to you and bill your utility at IAMU member prices and terms.  Alternatively, if you prefer, IAMU can order on your behalf and bill for costs (bulbs, shipping and staff time).  The prices quoted for the bulbs in the memo are valid for one year.  If you would like to order please contact Jonathan Roberts, at jroberts@iamu.org or call (515) 289-1999 for any assistance or answers to any questions you may have.

Energy Efficiency Education Publications

eco@home
eco@home is a digest-sized quarterly publication designed to educate utility customers on energy efficiency and green topics.  It is a full color 12-page magazine that is full of natural resource saving ideas for homeowners and renters.  Easy-to-read, eco@home is designed to move readers to consume gas, electricity, and water more efficiently, saving dollars and our planet.  The piece can serve as the foundation of your consumer education program.  Subscribers can send this publication directly to residents and/or receive copies in the office for distribution.  Contact Sandy Longfellow for a sample copy and to answer any questions you might have.

Iowa Energizer Bulletin
Member utilities can hire IAMU to produce an energy efficiency brochure that can be mailed to their residential customers. Four times a year, an issue of the Iowa Energizer will be customized for each utility. Inside pages of each Iowa Energizer will carry up-to-date information on energy efficiency for residential applications.  Contact John Burnett at jburnett@iamu.org for more information.
