In addition to the efforts by the City of Aspen, the non-profit organization CORE (Community Office for Resource Efficiency – www.aspencore.org) offers grants and other financial help to those wishing to add renewable energy features to their home. CORE supports environmental initiatives in the Valley such as reducing the use of plastic bags. CORE also oversees REMP (renewable energy mitigation program). REMP requires homebuilders who want to install a high energy using feature such as a hot tub or heated driveway to either offset the extra energy use with the addition of renewable energy at their home or to pay into the REMP fund. These funds are then used to support renewable energy projects in Aspen and the rest of the Roaring Fork Valley.
