| The Clean Efficient Energy Company, LLC., was established in 2006 to encourage humanities' transition to a more healthy and sustainable future by reducing residential loads and substituting dirty fuel with cleaner fuels. That means maintaining our technologies, lifestyles and comfort levels at a lower cost using fuels which have less harmful "side effects". Rater/Verifier Rick Jenkins is the owner/operator of the Clean Efficient Energy Company. His wife, Beth, still operates the USA Baby furniture store at 105th and Metcalf in Overland Park. They have owned and run USA Baby for 21 years, the first 17 at 75th and Nieman. They have one boy and four girls and are active in a Catholic community at 103rd and Quivira. Rick and Beth are from the same neighborhood in Omaha and both went to Kansas University. The Jenkins added on to their home this year. Rick did much of the work. They changed the HVAC system from conventional to a ground source heat pump with mechanical ventilation (fresh air.) They added on 3 Kw of solar panels, used SIPS construction, insulated under and around the foundation, used Energy Star windows, Energy Star light fixtures and added a solar tube in the kitchen. They beefed up the insulation in the rest of the house. The whole family loves it together. Mostly, Clean Efficient Energy Company is an independent 3rd party verifier who consults and advises good people from Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska on transitioning into clean energy efficiently. CEEC, LLC carries professional and general liability coverage of $1,000,000. The utility companies played an important role in the industrial revolution and our modern lifestyle. Candle lamps gave way to Edison's incandescent light bulbs. What's next? Let's continue the evolution. Home energy ratings are the fundamental starting point of it all. An assessment of the homes features as they affect how a house works efficiently as a system. It allows us to quantify the cost/bennefits of energy efficiency upgrades. Rick is certified by RESNET.
