CLEAN ENERGY COMMISSION AWARDS AVON RESIDENT

A State of Connecticut General Assembly Official Citation was recently given to Bernie Zahren in recognition of his efforts to assist the Avon Clean Energy Commission (ACEC) in a critical effort as well as with his Clean Feet Investors (CFI) Sustainable Investment Funds.
The town of Avon worked with the ACEC to bring sustainable planning and infrastructure to Avon to reduce the town’s carbon footprint. The ACEC is responsible for recommending the solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on five municipal buildings, including four schools. Zahren and the ACEC assisted Avon to achieve bronze-level certification through the Sustainable Connecticut program..
Zahren and his three daughters have created a Notre Dame Endowment for Sustainability, and he also practices sustainability in his personal life, having a wind turbine, geothermal heating and air conditioning and solar PV for his home in Avon.
