The general process developed by the Corvallis Community Energy Project for the Neighborhood Energy Listening Project is outlined below:
- Engage neighborhood households through a door-to-door listening survey.
- Convene solution oriented conversations that connect residents with similar aspirations at community forums.
- Assist in the creation of collaborative solution teams through team launch workshops that include:
- Web and social media organizing tools
- Leadership team building principles and practices
- Grassroots project planning tools and techniques
- Connect ideas for collaborative solutions to resources (such as funding for residential weatherization, tax incentives for solar panels, and project mentorship) through our network and specific follow up.
- Connect collaborative solution team to the global innovation community through the use of online tools such as OpenPario.net forums and blogs.
